🚶♂️ Walking Frame with Castors
A Walking Frame with Castors, also known as a wheeled walker, is a mobility aid designed to assist individuals who have difficulty walking due to age, injury, surgery recovery, or disability. The castors (small wheels) at the front allow for easier forward movement, reducing the need to lift the frame with every step.

- Rear Legs with Rubber Tips: Non-slip rubber ferrules provide stability and prevent backward movement.
- Height Adjustable Legs: Accommodates users of different heights (usually adjustable from 78–96 cm).
- Ergonomic Handgrips: Made of rubber or foam, designed to provide comfort and reduce pressure on the hands.
- Foldable Design (optional): Allows for easy storage and transportation.
