Stepping out - a guide to wheeled walking frames

This 2010 guide looks at walking sticks and crutches, walking frames, scooters and wheelchairs. It will help you decide what kind of walking aid is right for you. If a wheeled walking frame would be a good choice, this guide will help you choose a suitable model. We asked a group of ten professionals and two walking frame users to assess eighteen walking frames. They checked out the various features they had and assessed them for ease of use.
