Handicapped walker is a tool for disabled people who need additional support to maintain 

balance or stability while walking.According to Muiza, handicapped walker is available in sizes


such as Pediatric (for children) or Bariatric (for overweight or obese persons). 

Handicapped walker is a good tool for those who are recuperating from leg or back injuries. 

It is also commonly used by persons who are having problems with walking or mild balancing 

problems. Basically, the handicapped walker has two main types; lift walkers or push walkers. 

Lift handicapped walkers are usually four points of ground contact with two of the points being

rubber tips and the other two small rolling wheels. Beside that, push handicapped walkers have 

bigger tires and it has better the traction and easy to use.Nowadays, a modern walker is


popular because it is can be made adjustable in term of its height or wide which  can be set 

according to what is comfortable for the user. Modern walker is commonly safe, more convenience

and as a wheeled walking aid it has more durable parts. Beside that, modern walkers also use 

tubular seats, back seats and baskets with spacers and cushions, and are equipped with latches
