A walking frame has a larger support area than an axillary crutch or cane, and is therefore more stable and therefore more suitable for people and patients with static balance (standing) and dynamic balance (when walking) impairments, such as the elderly and post-operative orthopedic patients (patients who get up and out of bed early after hip or knee replacement). How to choose the type of walking frame? 1.Generally, you should choose a walking frame with telescopic pole and adjustable height, which can be adjusted according to your height. Common walking frames on the market are frame walkers and wheeled walkers. Frame type walkers are mainly used for people who have sound upper limb function but poor lower limb balance and need to walk (such as elderly people), and people who cannot bear weight due to lower limb bone and joint injury, as well as people with arthritis, movement disorders and long-term bed-ridden people with walking needs. Wheeled walkers are installed with wheels on the front left and right feet or four corners, which increases mobility and avoids the movement of lifting and moving like frame walkers, but also increases the possibility of falling for those who weigh more.

Method: Hold the walking frame in an upright position with the elbow joint flexed at 30°, so that the height of the frame is at the same level as the body rotor (the bone that can be felt on the outside of the hip joint when lifting the thigh), then it is the right height, and the height adjustment is finally completed by adjusting the telescopic rods at the corners of the frame.
