An advanced walker specifically designed for neurological conditions. U-Step standard model with seat provides greater stability, maneuverability, and control as compared to other walkers. Squeeze one or both of the hand brakes to go and release hand brakes to stop. The optional Laser & Sound Cueing Module is ideal for those with Parkinson’s freezing.
Reverse Braking System: The innovative braking system is easy to use and puts you in complete control. The U-Step 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.
Clinically proven to reduce Parkinson’s freezing and falls. The Laser & Sound cueing module can help get you started, normalize your walking and increase you stride. Press the red button on the module to project a bright laser line on the floor to guide your steps. You can also turn on the sound feature to set a beat pattern for maintaining a steady walking speed.
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.
Easily Transported: Folding the U-Step 2 is as easy as one, two, three! Lift the release lever by the seat, pull up on the seat support to fold and put it in the car; no bending down to pick it up.
The patented U-Shaped base is ultra-stable: It surrounds you and braces you in every direction from falling. The innovative wheel configuration makes the U-Step 2 highly maneuverable and allows it to turn around in 29 inches, compared to 50 inches for most other advanced walkers. The advanced control features, including the reversed braking system and the rolling resistance give you the confidence you need on your feet.

U-Step II Walking Stabilizer, Standard Model With Seat
We got this walker a few months ago for my Dad, who has Parkinson's disease. His physical therapists recommended it, and it has been a lifesaver. The added stability and reverse braking have really helped him get back mobility after he fell and cracked his pelvis. It's also much easier to fold up and load in the car than his old 4 wheel walker. U-Step customer service was also very quick and helpful when we contacted them about a minor brake issue (one of the cables came loose). They emailed repair instructions and we had it fixed in 5 minutes.
