Tell your young man that did the video that he did an excellent job, I’m really thinking about getting one of those because I’ve had six surgeries in the last one and a half years, in fact I like the young man’s job in the video so much I’m going to try to make an attempt when I buy one to buy it from you, good job young man
Awesome I just bought my mom one she will love this , sad to see my mom get older and having difficulties walking but with this equipment she will gain her strength back. Technology is wonderful
I've seen the same issue with every model of these upright walkers: the seat. The way the seat juts out prevents the user from getting directly between the armrests. So, their knees brush up against the edge of the protruding seat, causing them to slightly lean over in order to rest their arms on the armrests and get closer to the frame for support.
The seat should have been a flip up or fold down design to allow the user to get closer to the frame and position themselves between the arms, and the armrest length shortened to align the user's elbows with their shoulders, affecting a proper upright position (hence the reason why so many elderly and others are able to walk upright while pushing a grocery cart: the flat front allows them to "hug" the cart's handles for stability).
I see the exact problem with the seat. The armrests need to be farther back to allow elbows to be beside the torso; not towards the front. The user is still having to lean forward to walk. I'd prefer a posterior design of this walker. I LOVE that ALL the WHEELS rotate giving true natural walking turns. And, they all have locking position, too.
Love the bigger and better wheels. I go through about 2 walkers a year. I use my walker 24/7.
Very helpful on balance issues. You are the only person that’s answered my question. Thank you so much!
Wow, glad I found this video. My knees have had it and can no longer put off knee surgery. Looking for the best walker for before and after surgery. Super explanation, left me with no questions. Thanks so much to the very knowledgeable cute man demonstrating. You can tell he's passionate about his work.
Thank you. That was a wonderful review.
Awesome. Best demo ever!
GREAT presentation! Thank you!
Excellent pre demonstration. Thank you
Thank you for telling all the details very clearly
Great product!!! Would buy again.
Cool cool thank u guys for the great job that helps us less fortunate ones god bless u all.
Great presentation 👍🏾
You explained so wonderfully
I found a brand on Ebay called Elenker for $176.00. My grandson is putting it together now.
This is going to re-open my Mom's world. It looks like it can handle light trails in the woods. My Mom has not been able to walk in the woods for so long. Not only that, but just regular walks are going to be so good for her. I almost want to cry, I'm so excited to get this for her.
The short walker we have for her has never been very helpful because she needs support for her upper back, even though she is only 5 '3. And I never understood what tall people were supposed to do with those short walkers.
This is a much needed product for so many people. I wish everyone could afford one. I'm going to bust my budget, but I'm getting this!
The short walker could have been adjusted to his height so he wouldn’t have been bent over as he was in the video. Walkers are all height-adjustable. That’s not really their problem. The problem with them is, too much pressure is placed on the user’s wrists for support. Upwalkers and other similar products depend on the lower arms for support instead, making longer walks possible and more comfortable.
This walker is awsum
Excellent walker, thanks
Ahh! I want one so badly! I’ll need to save up. I have Ehlers Danlos syndrome, and so using my normal walker tends to hurt my wrists! Will definitely mention this to my EDS friends! 💕🙏
Normal walkers hurt ANYBODY’S wrists. They’re okay for short little walks, like, say, from the living room to the kitchen, but beyond that, it’s painful for the wrists.
This video was very helpful in demonstrating the features of the UpWalker. The demo with the standard/traditional walker was a poor comparison because it wasn't adjusted correctly to fit the user which increased the forward bend. People who are researching the UpWalker already are aware of the limitations of a standard walker.
Right. I have a conventional walker, and it can be adjusted to your height so you aren’t bent over. My problem with a walker is not that I’m bent over, it’s that so much pressure is put on the wrists. That’s why I want to get an upright walker like this one. The pressure is taken off your wrists and puts pressure on the entire lower arm, which would be much more comfortable.
Great presentation
looks nice.
I love it would like buy one
thorough review. My mom had a stroke 6/2020, so she started out with a quad cane and then a rollator. i knew months ago i wanted to get her this ergonomic one eventually when she's ready. insurance pays for 20%. so would it be better for a patient to one it cash or through insurance (any markups)>
Thanks for a great video. I love everything about this walker…except wheel size. I would prefer pneumatic as I live in a rural area on a private road and my property is dirt, gravel and the road is asphalt. Can the wheels be changed out with either pneumatic or 10-12” wheels? Thanks again for a great and very helpful video.
I'd like to try it..
That's so cool, I'm kinda dreading a walker cause I'm 20 but this one seem not as a issue
Hey man, me too! I’m 25 and use a walker, a tip would be to make it your own! I like to add stickers of things that bring me joy. Best of luck to you! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank u
I just went to your website and I can’t believe you’re charging $100 more than everybody else, everybody else is selling the same thing for $545
is the arm resting area made of plastic pad or foam pad?
Is it available in Springfield missouri
I need to replace one of the forearm rests on my upright walker. Can you tell me what kind of tool I need to remove the four screws and install the four new screws on my new forearm rests
can a person with use of only their right side use this walker??
How do you like the upwalker EZ Lite? More in price range for my tiny 5 foot frail momma ;)
Have ordered and paid for a upwrite walker , where is it ?? Robert Redmon
Need instructions to get rolling walker through a heavy, automatic closing door.
Do you have distributor in Vancouver, BC, Canada
I'm hoping to have that upwalker it's a big help for me to walk by myself it's been 3years now I can't stand and walk due to vihecle accident my 2 leg is broken just only I depend my wheelchair if I'm going to church even inside my house how much that cost of upwalker I'm from phillipines.
I am large and this larger walker ''seems'' to be exactly what I want but I STILL need to know HOW WIDE IS THE SEAT.
From all I have read, the large Upwalker’s seat is 21 inches wide and something like 13 inches deep, I believe.
How do you get over small obstacles like a short stair or tall curb?
Very carefully, I imagine! I suspect you may have to lift the walker to get up stair or small curb. I can’t imagine it just gracefully rolling onto a curb or a stair.
does humana ppo and medicaid pay for it
Where are these walkers made from and and the brand name and what is the cost because I know that Medicare won't cover. I am not a fan of those seats either. My other upright walker collapsed on me and I am looking for a good replacement good quality one. Thanks
It would be nice to know how much weight it can hold and how wide the seat is
I own one. The standard size holds 300 pounds. The large size holds 350 pounds.
Can I add a rest?
What is the cost and how to procure
Question: When it comes to the folding-type walker, what type of aluminum is used in it's manufacturing, and what is it's wall?
All I know is that it’s made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight. I don’t know what you mean by its wall.
How heavy is this walker?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I just received mine and am very disappointed. The ad and this vid say it is adjustable to a person 6'5". I am 6'1" and the arm rests are about 3 inches to low. I can't stand upright while using it. It is also poorly made and very wobbly when I put any weight on it. I feel I was misled and to return it they will charge a 10% restocking fee and the lowest shipping cost I could find was $73. So, your 30-day free trial will cost you close to $100. BUYER BEWARE!
Well, Kevin, I searched and searched and found that UPWalker is scared shitless to advertise the price on it's walkers. That tells me that they are so outrageously overpriced that I don't want one.
Is this actually made in the USA with US components?I would hope so at the price of nearly $600. Please answer truthfully for the sake of all patriots out there
Probably made in the USA by immigrants 🤣
It’s actually made in China. It was designed in California. And it’s excellent!
Does this fit in a car trunk?
These UPwalkers are in the $400 to $600 range. The economy walkers can be had for about $50 to $60 and the video is misleading a bit in that the height of the economy walker is also adjustable.
All these 'upwalker' type of mobility walkers are American. I live in the UK and I don't know why no one in the UK has made any like this. The reason I'd rather buy one from a UK seller is because just in case I wanted to return it, it wouldn't cost as much for the return postage.
From what I read on their website, the Upwalkers are designed in America, but made in China, or something like that.
I live this walker. Is it covered by part b?
How is it covered by part B? Have a little more information on that
I don’t think it’s covered by Medicare Part B. At any rate, you’d have to pay for it upfront, and then inquire about any possible reimbursement with your insurance. But I don’t believe Medicare pays for it because they wouldn’t consider it medically necessary. I wish they did, because I’m on Medicare, too.
Do you sell these in the UK?
Yes I found it just go to Upwalker.co.uk I rang the helpline in Scotland (where it’s shipped from in about 10 days) to find out about repairs to brakes/wheels; they are of standard size so can be fixed by any bicycle repair shop. Having said that, it has a 6 month warranty anyway, and the body of the Upwalker has a lifetime guarantee! Be great for my posture, less stress on hands/arms and I’ll be able to get out and about again! NB you may be able to get VAT relief, I get it due to diabetes but would also cover long term medical conditions like MS MD Parkinson’s etc. Have a look to see if you qualify at www.gov.uk/guidance/reliefs-from-vat-for-disabled-and-older-people-notice-7017#customer
Is this the original version, or the Lite?
Original.
@@susanmcteigue5841 thanks Susan!
@@Caifo Susan is right, because the Upwalker Lite has a different shaped wheel base.
how much weight will that sit hold?
I looked it up and it’s 300 pounds for the normal size and 350 for the larger size!
Cannot be found on their website. Scam???
Indian rupees kitne hai
Price, and how much install is required.
They cost about $695.00, and they arrive already assembled.
@@bwsmyheroyou're correct it still cost $695.00. I just ordered the large upwalker today to be delivered tomorrow.
Is this covered by insurance?
No, it isn't. Not yet anyway.
how much
@@niazali7633 I found it for $550
I was told by the company you can submit to your insurance, recommend you send a dr. note or Rx for it.
Can y'all try to at least make it less weight because some people are all by themselves and they cannot lift that much weight
23lbs
@India Medico Instruments Oh yes, it’s made of aluminum alloy, which is pretty light, considering its size.
$700 shipped is way too much
You could benefit from a microphone
Great, but it doesn't help with going up and down stairs.
No, of course it doesn’t. You’d need a stairlift for that. I don’t know of ANY walker that rolls up stairs.
Kevin 🥵
Do you think the TH-cam audience is stupid or what? Comparing to a traditional walker in the lowest possible position (what? for a kid?) whereas you darn well know that one can purchase trad walkers for even the tallest of guys in adjustable trad walkers!
Very true. I suspect the idea of showing an elderly person hunching over an unadjusted traditional walker is simply a tactic to make the Upwalker even more appealing. Unfortunately for them, most people would spot the deception right away. It’s eye-roll-worthy, actually! The hunching isn’t the problem for most people who use a traditional walker, though. It’s the pressure it puts on the wrists.
