These walkers include fold-down seats as an integral part of the design. Alternating between sitting and standing is a natural part of the postural changes necessary to conserve and direct energy for daily activities.
The PostureRest Walkers are useful for users who are just beginning to walk and have low endurance, or who are recovering from neurological or orthopedic surgery and must regain strength. Because the user can rest as needed, they will be able to participate in more social activities and in a larger variety of settings.
Many users, even those who have good walking endurance, need to rest during prolonged periods of standing or waiting. Children alternate between sitting and standing at school: on the playground, watching sporting events, selecting library books, or waiting in the cafeteria line. Teens may choose to sit to socialize with friends at the mall or during after school activities. All users make these choices when they socialize with friends in the community, at the work place, or on family vacations and trips. The Kaye PostureRest Walkers will allow people who use walkers to access places where seating might not otherwise be available. While the seat is not intended to replace an individualized seating system or wheelchair, it will provide a much needed break from standing and walking without having to make additional seating equipment available.
For specifics on sizes, prices, and model numbers, measure the distance from the floor to the middle of the user's buttocks, and then consult the sizing chart below.
