The U-Step 2 Walking Stabilizer
Designed to increase independence and eliminate falling among those with neurological conditions. The leading-edge features of the U-Step 2 as compared to other walking aids, make it superior by providing more stability, maneuverability and control. Tens of thousands of people with neurological conditions have benefitted from the UStep 2 design.
Reversed Braking System
The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control. The U-Step 2 will not roll until you lightly squeeze either hand brake. Once you release the hand brake, the unit will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away from you.
Rolling Resistance Control
Unlike other rolling walkers, you can adjust the rolling speed of the new U-Step 2. Many people find that wheeled walkers roll too fast for them. That is why we engineered a control for setting the rolling resistance. Loosen the set screw and rotate the adjustment lever to the desired amount of resistance, then re-tighten the set screw.
Spring-Loaded Front Wheel
The patented spring-loaded front caster system glides easily over uneven surfaces, such as indoor molding strips and cracks in the sidewalk. This avoids sudden jolts as well as the need to lift the walker over small obstacles.
Specifically for Neurological Conditions
Prevents Falls
The U-Step 2 has been tested and proven to be beneficial for patients with various neurological conditions including:
Parkinson Disease, Multiple Sclerosis,
Balance Disorders, Brain Injuries, ALS PSP/MSA, Ataxia
This is ideal for many people who have had a stroke or brain injury. It is also excellent for those who have a weak upper body or who tend to stoop over.
Laser & Sound Cueing Module
Primarily used by those with Parkinson's freezing but can be used by anyone with an irregular gait pattern. The Laser and Sound Cueing Module can help get you started, normalize your walking and increase your stride. Press the red button on the module to project a bright red laser line on the floor to guide your step. You can also turn on the sound feature to set a beat pattern for walking speed.
