Vive Mobility Upright Walker with Seat - Stand Up Rollator | Heavy Duty, Folding Medical Aid Scooter for Elderly, Seniors - Walking Assist, Foldable Transport Chair - 300 lb Capacity

I have been a hospital Registered Nurse for 42 years. Recently I crushed my pelvis and had fractures of the spine. Using a typical walker was excruciating to use as bending over increased pain. The upright stance while using this walker and being able to bear the weight on my forearms made being mobile possible. Wide wheelbase made it stable and safe. Hand brakes worked smoothly and slowed/stopped me going downhill. The built-in seat felt strong and doubled as a shelf to carry a shopping basket. Bag provided attaches to walker for additional items on the go. No matter the brand this vertical walker style should be recommended for all folks needing assistance while ambulating during the healing phase. I cannot encourage the public enough to acquire a vertical walker style to promote comfort, to be mobile while healing, and being independent-which is the primary goal for older (and even younger) people. Medicare-age folks can apply to have some reimbursement on the purchase. I am of age but did not seek reimbursement. It was soooooooo worth the money for me to have this equipment to promote my comfort and in turn it brightened my mental health while I healed.

I love my new upright walker. My back pain has decreased and my posture has improved!!!

Just as advertised. Easy assembly, but time consuming. Although it folds in half to assist with storage and transport the device is still rather large and bulky and will take a up significant space in the home and vehicle. Overall is has been a helpful device for my elder adult who is extremely tall and wants to maintain mobility.

This walker is worth every penny. What Medicare issues is a hazard to anyone's health you become hunchback you're a great risk for falling. However not with this walker it keeps you upright gives you stability very safe and easy to use I recommend it highly to anyone. Don't skimp on your health get the proper equipment and this is one to get

Just returned from a 3 hour maiden voyage with this product. Very comfortable to use with my back problems. Found it to be sturdy, well engineered, and easy to assemble. Need to flatten the rear seat on my CRV to get it in to the cargo area. Was disappointed to find that after a couple of hours the brakes no longer adequately secured the wheels - apparently the cables stretch with use. There are no instructions provided to adjust and/or tighten the brakes, but it is possible to do it. This could become a problem as the wheel surfaces wear because the adjustment space is limited. Found it to be best and easilly used on flat, smooth surfaces - difficult to steer on slanted surfaces. Would not try to use it on trails or uneven or warped.boardwalks. Overall I will keep it but restrict its use as noted above.

After using it, I found that it allowed me to stand upright completely and reduced the strain on my arms. However, due to a critical design flaw, it has caused some physical injuries. Design Flaw The front wheels are too short in length. From a mechanical perspective, since this walker is relatively tall, its center of gravity is also higher. If the front wheels do not extend far enough, the center of gravity shifts forward, leading to potential safety hazards: Crossing Crosswalks: When crossing the street, there is often an incline where the crosswalk meets the road, along with bumps or uneven seams (see attached images). This frequently causes the center of gravity to shift forward. Since the front wheels are too short, I have fallen forward three times within just over a month, resulting in scraped skin, bleeding, difficulty walking, and being unable to go out for days. Entering and Exiting Buildings or Platforms: There are ramps at building entrances and exits (see attached images). Due to the short front wheels, the walker easily tips forward, posing a significant safety risk. As a result, I always need assistance when going downhill. Sidewalk Slopes: Many sidewalks in New York have a slight outward slope (see attached images). When walking or turning, the short front wheels make the walker prone to tipping sideways. I have fallen sideways twice, suffering abrasions. Uneven Sidewalk Seams: The seams between sidewalk concrete slabs are often uneven (see attached images). Because of the short front wheels, even a small misstep can cause the walker to tip forward. I have fallen forward once because of this. All of these safety issues stem from the design flaw of the short front wheels. If you observe standard walkers, shopping carts provided in stores, or personal shopping carts, you’ll notice that their front sections are longer, and the rear wheels are positioned further forward, ensuring a stable center of gravity. So that they don't have the same tipping hazards, even on uneven surfaces. During my use, I met two other individuals using the same VIVE MOBILITY WALKER. They have experienced the same issues and share similar concerns about safety risks. They use it with extreme caution, always feeling anxious, and one of them is already considering stop using it. Manufacture response is "The Vive Mobility Walker is designed for stability on standard indoor and outdoor surfaces. However, it may not be suitable for very uneven terrain, inclines, or surfaces with significant bumps or gaps. We strongly recommend exercising caution in such environments and using additional support when necessary." This not listed on their website!!!!!!

This walker is really great if you need to take pressure off of your back or legs. This style of walker keeps you standing upright instead of leaning over to walk. That way you can see where you’re going and make eye contact with other people. I highly recommend this style of walk to anyone in need of mobility assistance.

The adjustableness in the height is awesome. The bottom wheels that kick out and allow you to walk through the middle of it can become cumbersome and you can trip on it. The base itself does not lock in or have anything solid in the middle to keep it from being top wobbly. The concept is a good idea. I like being able to cradle my arms and take some of the pressure off my knees that’s why I purchased it, but I think that this is probably going to be returned because I don’t feel stable using it and the front wheels don’t turn as effortlessly as one would want so beware

Best thing I got for my disabled wife she loves it

Brilliant helps me get about easy

Great item, putting together was simple and once seat base clicked into place its a sturdy thing.

Not great but Stuck with it now as I had to use it to find it wasn’t good. I’m only in my 30s but struggle walking due to certain health issues and this hurt not great up hills even worse downhill and when going over uneven ground it just tips and you have to put extra weight on other side which is not ideal when unstable to begin with. Also when going over outdoor floors it just shakes entire body so very uncomfortable.

Ok
