The Platform U Step II Walker is a multiple wheeled mobility aid with adjustable forearm supports designed for users who need additional upper body support when walking. The U shaped base is extremely stable and provides support in every direction. Users with walking or balancing difficulty due to neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, ALS, MSA and PSP will find this specialized walking aid helpful for increasing mobility independence.

The Platform version of the U Step II Walker is designed for users who need additional upper body support, are unable to use both hands or are unable to stand up straight when walking. This walking aid is often helpful for users with Brain Injuries or Stroke who need additional support when walking. The arm platforms are highly adjustable for various arm positions. Using the Platform U Step II Walker is not like pushing a standard rolling walker. This walker surrounds the user with a unique wheelbase and frame that are extremely stable and provide support in every direction.

The U Step Walker II has an innovative braking system that prevents the walker from moving until the user is ready to walk. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the unit will not roll away. The user lightly squeezes either brake release lever to move the walker forward. When the lever is released, the walker stops immediately.

The Platform U Step II Walker Medicare code (HCPCS) is E0147.

Note: U Step 2 Cueing Module Laser Accessory sold separately.

Very stable walker

The platform version takes up more space than the other u-step walkers but the positives out weigh the negative. It provides more standing support after having a stroke.

Didn't work for me

Was very excited about getting this. Recovering from a stroke and brain surgeries and have right side weakness. Did not give enough support to stand up straight. Also legs hit the seat/bar when trying to take a step. Physical therapist said that it may be because my weakness is more flaccid than tone. She had another couple who bought one where the wife had a stroke and it didn't work for her but the husband has a spine issue and he was able to use it. Too costly to try to return. Didn't keep all the original packing material. Nice equipment, well put together.
