Three or four-wheeled walkers provide more support than walking sticks and are designed for users who can walk reasonably well but who would benefit from extra support over longer distances. Three-wheeled walkers are easy to manoeuvre but are less stable than four-wheeled models (which have a larger base of support) and are therefore rarely recommended. Wheeled walking frames are generally designed for both indoor and outdoor use and feature either bicycle-style hand brakes or push down brakes.
Walking frames help provide an additional level of balance and support for those that would usually have trouble doing so. Coming in a variety of designs (fixed, folding and adjustable) it can be confusing to know which one to choose.
