The image above shows the Anterior Support Walker
with Forearm Supports, model Y2FS. |
Anterior Support Walkers with Forearm Supports
- The anterior support walkers are designed for users who can support
weight on their legs and take steps, but who lack balance or upper
body and shoulder control to use more traditional walkers.
- These walkers are intended for users who need forearm and shoulder
support in order to maintain an upright alignment for walking. Forearm
support aids thoracic extension (upper trunk posture) by allowing
weight bearing on the forearms with the elbows aligned under the shoulders.
- Available in 4 sizes.
- Folds for storage and transportation.
- Height-adjustable.
- Width between side cushions adjusts.
- Angle of chest cushion adjusts.
- Width between forearm cushions adjusts.
- Forward position and angle of handgrips adjust.
- Front wheels swivel or can lock in the forward position.
- Rear wheels are equipped with external ratchets, to prevent the
walker from rolling backwards.
- For specifics on sizes, prices, and model numbers, see the table
below.
- Optional: Adjustable resistance one-way ratchet wheels.
- Optional: Swivel Limiters

| To determine the appropriate size, model
number, and price, measure from the ground to the user's elbow. Then
match that distance with "Height to Forearm Cushion" column in the table
below. Where more than one size is appropriate, the larger will allow
for more growth.
