2 Platform Intended Usage, Indications & Contraindications

problems related to standing or walking independently. With this device those persons can stand, and walk
more easily. The main purpose of this product is to provide balance during the gait as well as providing

users trunk. The forearm supports can be adjusted up and down by a control lever connected to the gas

for the User. Such a walker offers better support, balance and stability than regular rollators. The device may
be used indoor only. Any other usage is prohibited
