UPWalker LITE Walking Aid by LifeWalker

What is the UPWalker LITE Walking Aid?

The UPWalker LITE by LifeWalker is a lightweight version of the original UPWalker. This mobility device allows users to walk in an upright position without bending or slouching into uncomfortable, non-ergonomic positions. This upright, straight-backed positioning is accomplished by means of comfortable, heightened forearms supports. The UPWalker LITE is built to provide easy and seamless navigation while improving patient posture, reducing back and joint pain, and increasing user comfort, stability, and safety. Users who have tested the UPWalker LITE have stated that they felt more confident, active, and independent due to this upright walker's uncompromising support.

In addition to its unique upright mobility functionality, the UPWalker LITE walking aid is designed with several other features that make user lives easier. For example, this walking aid comes with a seat and backrest so that if the user tires, they will always have a comfortable place to sit and rest. Integrated wheels make pushing the walker smooth and effortless. In addition, the walker's handles include breaking capabilities for safe and seamless navigation. Push buttons make height adjustment an uncomplicated and snappy process. The UPWalker LITE's slim, lightweight, and compact design along with its folding ability makes transportation and storage easy. Lastly, a sturdy aluminum alloy frame means this upright walker will last users a lifetime.

The UPWalker LITE also comes with several handy accessories. These accessories include an attachable bag for transporting personal items, a convenient cupholder, and a supportive backrest for when users need to take a break. The upright walker offers several other handy accessories for both models as listed below.

The UPWalker LITE can be used both indoors and outdoors, giving users the freedom to go almost anywhere they desire knowing that they have mobility and posture support. In some cases, this has increased user independence and led to a more active life. When these users get to their destination, they can also now stand tall and look at their loved ones and passersby in the eye with this upright walker. Try UPWalker LITE for the gift of added confidence and dignity to your loved ones.

Why Choose the UPWalker LITE?

The UPWalker LITE walking aid is a compact and lightweight version of the original UPWalker. Weighing in at only 15.5 pounds, the UPWalker LITE is an incredible 34% lighter than the original model. This means this walker is easier to transport and fit into most vehicles. The rear casters are smaller so users find navigating indoors, around tight corners, and in small spaces to be a much smoother and effortless experience. The UPWalker LITE price is also lower than that of the standard model, so this product's affordability is another big draw.

An independent clinical study by the Research Institute of Chicago has shown that the UPWalker LITE allows users to walk more upright and improve user posture. The LifeWalker series' unique upright design and forearm supports were shown in this study to foster more balanced weight distribution, which took the pressure off of users' lower-body joints and wrists. This shows that the UPWalker line of products may be beneficial to users with wrist and back pain. In addition, users consumed less oxygen, which decreased physical exertion and facilitated user endurance. Many participating subjects reported that they feel more stable and safe when using the UPWalker LITE as opposed to standard walkers and rollators.
