driveGecko Walking Frame, rigid

The drive Gehgestell Gecko starr is a classic aluminium walking frame for people who need bilateral support when walking and standing. The rigid frame is lifted and moved as a whole, providing maximum stability with every step. Weighing just 2.4 kg, the walking frame is so light that it can be handled safely even with little strength, and at the touch of a button it folds down to a depth of just 12 cm.

Typical areas of use include standing and walking training after operations, fall prevention in old age and support around the home, for example on the way to the bathroom. The frame also provides reliable support when getting up from a chair or toilet.

• Rigid frame for high stability and a steady walking feel
• Folds flat at the touch of a button, folded depth of just 12 cm
• Height-adjustable from 81 to 98.5 cm
• Non-slip rubber caps on all four legs
• Lightweight aluminium tubing, own weight 2.4 kg
• Walking aid loadable up to 120 kg body weight

Rigid walking frames such as the Gecko are the right choice when safety takes priority over walking speed: once set down, the frame always stands on all four legs. Reciprocal models with movable side sections allow a smoother gait pattern, but require more coordination. The height is correct when the handles are at wrist level with the arm hanging loosely.

You can obtain the Gehgestell Gecko starr from saneq, the Swiss specialist supplier for mobility aids and medical supplies.
