Creform Applications--Rolling Platform Walker with Seat

Wayne-Westland POHI Outreach, Wayne, MI

The goal of the Rolling Platform Walker with Seat is to improve erect posture with a platform at the top of the walker and to improve mobility and the speed of transitions.  A padded seat was added to this device and is used to decrease the amount of time needed to transfer the student to or from other chairs to the floor. Aided by the Platform Walker, this student for whom this walker was designed is able to participate more effectively in physical education classes as the student can use both hands and sit comfortably with feet on the floor.  The student is also able to sit in the walker at a computer and reach effectively while maintaining good posture.
