Kaye Walkers

Choosing an Adaptive Walker involves choices of wheel configuration,
width, style, size, and optional accesories.


Two-Wheeled Walker

The Kaye 2-Wheeled Walkers provides extra drag for users who cannot manage a walker
that rolls forward as they shift their weight forward.

This walker features two wheels in the front of the walker and two crutch tips in rear
of walker to limit forward motion.

Four-Wheeled Walker

The Kaye 4-Wheeled Walkers allows users to roll the walkers forward as they shift their own weight forward.

This helps improve cadence, velocity, energy use, and step and stride length.

It is equipped with one-way ratchet rear wheels, to help prevent the walker from
rolling backwards and away from the user.

Swivel-Wheeled Walker

The Kaye Swivel-Wheeled Walkers have four wheels with front wheels swiveling.

The Swivel wheels can be locked in the forward-only direction.

The swivel wheels allows the user to turn without having to lift and reposition the walker.

The amount of swivel can be limited by adding Kaye Swivel Limiters (see option).

Optional Swivel Limiter

The optional Kaye Swivel Limiters, model WSL-1 can be added to limit swivel travel on any
Kaye Posture Control or PostureRest Walker with swivel wheels or any Kaye Anterior Chest
Support Walker.
Without the swivel limiter, the swivel wheels can swivel 360 degrees.
Adding the WSL-1 limits the amount of swivel for users who cannot manage free swiveling.

Kaye PostureRest Walkers with Seats

These walkers include seats that fold up or down, for walking or sitting.

They are designed as temporary seats for users who may lack the stamina to stand or walk for long periods.

Note that the seats should only be used when the walker is stationary.

These should not be used as a replacement for wheelchairs, strollers, or similar devices.
