Can the pelvic support be used with this walker?

Hi Kim, The Drive Medical Wenzelite Pelvic Stabilizer for Wenzelite Nimbo Posterior Walker can be used on this walker (KA 2200N).

Yes it can but the walker will not fold up with it attached. Honestly, I didn't check if it was due to the height we had it adjusted to or if it completely will not fold up at any height. I had to take it off to fold up, which meant unscrewing 2 knobs then attaching the knobs back on to the hip guard (so they won't get lost) and then storing guard. It was not an easy slip on slip off process. And sorry I can't check now we have all ready returned it to company we bought it from. We are exchanging it for the Kaye walker that has a hip guard and fold up seat attachment as well. And talking to a friend of mine who's son has it as well, she says she has no problem with it folding up with both attachments. Hope this helps. I truly believe it is not designed well, due to this issue and as well as the design in the front legs. They are not adjusted at much of an angle and the wheels do not protrude out in front of the legs hardly at all making it easy to tip forward. It is built very sturdy and nice wheels but that does not say much for the safety of the walker as well as it is not very "user friendly".

The walker is for my in-law and is not here. But you can find it here:http://www.hugoanywhere.ca/en/products/hugo-fit-8-rollator/

I have an oblong walker. It works ok but I did have to buy sightly longer screws and modify the assembly.

Hi Brenda, I don't think it will help with walking gait, but I'm really not sure.However, the hip rotation can be improved. :)

Absolutely not, this is an adult walker that is like the walkers in the hospitals. The only difference is that this walker has brakes on it, which makes it much safer to use. I hope this helps.

My mother finds the walker to be very stable. However, she is a slim, short woman, so it might depend on who is using it.

There is no attachment for the feet. It would be a great idea. I can't tell you how many times I have pushed my mom around in it like a wheelchair when she gets tired. She has always been able to hold her feet up or gently slide them. This has been the most versatile and rugged walker. I highly recommend it.

I'm sure it could be used as long as there is a rubber mat in the shower, the legs would grip better to the rubber. If you try it, make sure someone is there to assist at first, and you are totally comfortable. If it was me, I would buy one of those plastic shower stools that they sell, they're inexpensive and better suited. Since I progressed relatively quickly from my hip replacement I only used the walker for one week after I returned home, then started using a cane and stood up in the shower with no difficulty. Good luck if you try it, but I would recommend the stool.

I don't believe it would work for that. A free standing walker would be a better choice maybe.

While I am in California and my Mom, (I ordered this chair for her) is in Missouri, she has mentioned that she has used it to transport things around her house and even out to the mailbox. So, my answer would be that (according to my mother) it would be okay to use as a walker.

Yes, but if your walker has the levers on that crosspiece, it will scrunch in the middle and become harder to use. :-(

I wouldn't tryit. The foot splint doesn't allow a decent stride. It prevents you from bending forward because of its placement.

Can't help you..My mother did not want the basket, so it was never attached to a walker . It was returned to Amazon for a refund. Sorry!

the walker will support his weight if he is using it for balancing while walking, but the handles may not rise high enough to be comfortable. I am 5'6' and have the handles raised up to the 4th highest. Might be advisable to check with the manufacturer about the height of the handles.

Yes! My mother has used this same walker for 2-3 years now and ways over 250 lbs.

Personally I would not wear this walker on both feet at the same time. This boot is heavy and would make it difficult to walk.

I would thinkit should be o.k. Most walkers are the same height. Plus the handles are adjustable. Also the walker is well built.
