Walkers are getting better
For people with a disability or unsteady on their feet, there are new walking aids.  With traditional walkers or rollators, a problem can arise for a number of users if they bend forward and in so doing carry their weight on their arms and hands.  This can result in pain.   Such users are soon walking with a hunched back.  A solution to this issue is a taller, upright walker, which enables walking with an upright posture.  Apart from improving posture there is the potential cardiovascular improvement and it is easier to look forward and see people.
