Its patented U-shaped base rides on seven wheels and surrounds the user on all sides, with most of the weight low in the base for a low center of gravity. The main turning wheels sit toward the middle of the base for a tight turning circle. It is designed to help reduce the risk of falls and support more confident walking indoors and out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-Step 2 uses a reversed braking system: it stays stopped until you lightly squeeze a hand brake to roll, and stops the moment you release — helpful when rising from a chair, so the walker does not roll away. This is particularly useful for users who may not have the strength or awareness to stop a walker with a conventional brake. Rolling resistance is adjustable for those who find other walkers roll too fast, and a spring-loaded front caster glides over thresholds and sidewalk cracks without jolting. It folds without bending down and includes a padded seat and backrest for resting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eDesigned For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe U-Step 2 is often used by people with neurological conditions, including Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, balance disorders, brain injuries, ALS, PSP\/MSA, ataxia, and stroke.

The brakes are engaged whenever the handles are not held, so releasing the handles brings the walker to a stop rather than leaving it free to roll. Holding the handles releases the brakes to walk. The resistance knob sets how much drag remains while rolling, which lets a user who tends to move faster than they can safely control walk at a steadier pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSafety Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not\u003c\/strong\u003e exceed the 350 lb (159 kg) weight capacity. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not\u003c\/strong\u003e sit on the seat while the walker is on a slope or on an uneven surface, and make sure the brakes are engaged before sitting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDo not\u003c\/strong\u003e use the walker to pull yourself up from a chair or toilet.
