driveGehgestell Gecko reziprok

The Gecko reciprocal walking frame by drive is a lightweight aluminium walking aid with movable reciprocal joints. The two sides move forward alternately, so two legs support the user at all times and a smooth walking rhythm develops. At just 2.7 kg, the walking frame stays easy to handle even for users with little strength.

Reciprocal walking frames are used in rehabilitation, in care settings and at home when a rollator would still be too unstable. They suit people with significantly reduced walking ability who want to rebuild confidence step by step.

• Reciprocal joints allow alternating gait with two supporting legs at all times
• Folds flat at the push of a button, only 12 cm deep
• Height-adjustable from 79.5 to 97 cm for the right grip position
• Non-slip rubber tips on all four legs
• Aluminium frame weighing 2.7 kg, load capacity up to 100 kg
• Can also be used over the toilet bowl as a standing and support aid

Adjust the walking frame so the handgrips sit at wrist height when you stand upright; setting it too low forces a stooped posture. On uneven ground outdoors, a zimmer frame reaches its limits and a rollator serves better. Indoors, however, the narrow, light build plays to its strengths.

You can order the Gecko reciprocal walking frame online from saneq, the Swiss specialist retailer for walking aids and medical supplies.
