NRS Walk Safe® Walking Frame

Walk Safe® Walking Frame: The Next Generation of Indoor Mobility

The Walk Safe® Walking Frame is a breakthrough in mobility technology, recently showcased on national shopping channels and demonstrated by our team of expert Occupational Therapists.

After 70 years of stagnant design in mobility aids, the Walk Safe®—developed in partnership with the University of Salford—is finally breaking the mould. Backed by four years of academic research, this frame is proven to be twice as stable when turning compared to traditional walking frames.

Why Choose the Walk Safe®?

• Scientifically Tested: Proven twice as stable during manoeuvres ($2 \times$ more stability than standard models).
• Dual-Handle System: Built-in lower handles specifically designed for safe sit-to-stand transitions.
• Smart Navigation: Features patented Magnetic Directional Bias for effortless control.
• Built to Last: A fully welded, lightweight alloy frame with a 2-year guarantee.
• Heavy Duty: Supports a user weight of up to 230kg (36 stone).

Innovative Engineering for Natural Movement

1. Effortless Turning with Magnetic Directional Bias

Traditional zimmer frames often require a "lift-and-drop" motion that can be exhausting and unstable. The Walk Safe® features 125mm wheels and swivel castors that allow you to turn smoothly without lifting the frame.

The Magnetic Advantage: Our unique Magnetic Directional Bias automatically realigns the wheels to a forward-facing position after a turn, preventing "shopping trolley wiggle" and ensuring you stay in a straight, controlled line.

2. Combined Rear Brake and Glide System

Moving between carpet, tile, and door thresholds can be a tripping hazard with standard rubber ferrules. The Walk Safe® utilizes a combined glide and pressure brake.

• The Glide: Skims smoothly over surfaces for a fluid walking gait.
• The Brake: Provides instant stability; simply apply downward pressure to the frame to bring it to a safe, complete stop.

Safety Features That Restore Independence

Advanced Sit-to-Stand Support

The most common fall risks occur when transitioning from a bed, sofa, or chair. This frame features integrated lower handles positioned at the ideal height to act as a stable base. This is a game-changer for users whose furniture lacks armrests, providing a secure "push-off" point without the risk of the frame tipping.

Fully Welded, Durable Construction

While most frames are bolted together, the Walk Safe® is fully welded. This not only increases the lifespan and durability of the device but also makes it 100% recyclable. The high-strength alloy tubing is designed for long-term use, supporting a wide range of body types.

Fully Adjustable for a Custom Fit

The Walk Safe® is unique because it is both height and width adjustable.

• Medium or Large Size: Specifically engineered to provide a wider footprint as the height increases, maintaining a perfect centre of gravity.

• Ergonomic Grips: Cushioned upper handles include a non-slip section to ensure a firm, comfortable hold even during extended use.

Convenience for Modern Living

• Travel-Ready: The frame easily disassembles into two flat pieces, making it simple to store in a cupboard or transport in a car boot.

• Caddy Compatible: Fully compatible with the Buckingham Caddy, allowing you to safely transport tea, a phone, or magazines from room to room.

• Peace of Mind: Every frame comes with a 2-year warranty and is officially OT Recommended.
