Walking frames, like all walking aids, are used for two purposes: as a tool for rehabilitation when the user is recovering from an injury or operation; and for long term use when the user has a permanent difficulty with walking unassisted.
Walking frames help many people retain their mobility and independence. By using walking frames, elderly people or younger people with certain health conditions can sometimes improve their mobility both around the house and outside. These frames are typically made of Aluminium - lightweight and easy to move for those with reduced strength. A folding walking frame with wheels helps movement faster as all you do is just to push and the wheels will do the rest.
