I found this walker to fit my needs perfectly. It was easy to assemble, transport and use. It is sturdy and it makes it easy to walk without putting pressure on the wrists, or hurting your back. It is a definite departure of the traditional walker, as it allows for better posture while walking. You can adjust the height of the arm rests to suit your height needs, as well as the length of the handle bars. Also, it has a small, but sturdy seat for the times when you need a little break. Overall, this is a great product!

Wife has a sprained knee and is recovering from a broken wrist operation. Standard walkers were not usable because of the healing wrist. She was wheelchair dependent with helper (me). An upright walker with support from the forearms was the best solution to provide independent freedom of movement. After much research, we selected this Elenker model because of features, good design, and value. Galenus Medical delivered it half way across the country in 2 days… much appreciated! It assembled fairly easily. It is very well thought out and built. Comfortable to use. At this early stage of use, I rate it 5 stars.Suggested improvements: I left off the cane/umbrella holder because it added width of about an inch which makes doorway clearance tighter for narrow doorways… the holder needs relocating where it does not add width. The brake cables hang out in mid-air and could be better routed to avoid catching on things. I would love sit-to-stand grab/push bars built into the frame to help handicapped users get up from the seat easier. These are suggestions that would improve an already good product.

Assembling is a bit challenging for me to do alone as I have severe arthritis in my right hand and my husband has too much shaking in this hands to be of help. Although all in all, I did have it assembled in less than 1 hour. I am still unable to figure out where to attach the cane holder. The cup holder that was recommended as an add on was not able to fit without modification, I had to purchase a longer screw in order to make it work. Instructions were not really clear on assembly. The unit is sturdy, the wheels move well, and navigates around corners really well. The little footstep area to help assist in getting over some obstacles is a bit difficult for someone with Parkinson’s to navigate without losing their balance, and in my husbands’ situation, he is unable to see it due to the color being black along with black wheels, I have added reflective paint to provide offset color for visually impaired. I have also added a light to help with being seen as well as his being able to see. While the product itself is great and very nice size bag. It is a heavy-duty unit. Very pleased, the things that I did were things that are suggested things you may want to consider, based on what your needs are.
