Product Description

The UPWalker Lite is a lighter and smaller model of the original UPWalker, the revolutionary new mobility product that enables users to walk upright in a safer, more secure posture as compared to traditional walkers and rollators that cause users to hunch over.

Because you are able to walk using upright posture, you are able to look straight at your friends and loved ones without being hunched over looking at the ground.
