LifeWalker Mobility Products debuts UpWalker Lite

The UPWalker Lite features a patented safe design for lower tip-over risk. The comapny said that the UPWalker Lite is the only upright walker to receive ISO 11199-3:2005 Certification for safe and stable outdoor and indoor use, the company said. 

LifeWalker's Original UpWalker, introduced in 2019, is the first upright walker designed specifically to improve the mobility and lifestyle of seniors and others requiring an assistive mobility device. The UpWalker’s upright design enables users to walk with better posture, looking forward with greater dignity and improved mobility.

The UpWalker Lite is 34% lighter than the Original UpWalker and especially well-suited for indoor use, the company said.

"The UPWalker Lite enables seniors and other mobility challenged users to safely improve their mobility and regain their freedom and independence," said Craig Shugert, LifeWalker CEO. "At a time when sitting is considered the new smoking, it is essential that seniors remain active in order to live longer and healthier lives. A recent study published in JAMA showed that increased steps taken correlates to lower morbidity and mortality. In the spirit of “mobility is medicine” we look forward to working with retail pharmacies to bring the many benefits of the UpWalker Lite to their customers. We believe that retailers will be able to recommend our product with confidence as the safest and highest-value product on the market today.”
