Walker

 A Walker is a rigid, non-wheeled frame walking aid designed to provide maximum stability and support. It is used by lifting and placing the frame forward with each step, making it ideal for individuals with significant balance issues, weakness, or those in early post-operative recovery who require a secure, stationary base. Its key features include a lightweight aluminum frame, height-adjustable legs, and rubber tips. Proper fitting and gait training are essential for safe use, as incorrect technique can increase fall risk. It is the most stable ambulatory aid before progressing to wheeled walkers or canes.
