MIT Undergrad Develops New Walker Design

The StandUp Walker incorporates a stand-assist device into the walker design.

By StandUp Walker02.16.16

The StandUp Walker combines the ease of a walker with an innovative stand-assist device that helps the user to easily and safely stand up. It fills the void of three primary products that nearly all mobility-challenged patients use—a standard walker, toilet safety rails, and seat lift mechanism. Ultimately, the StandUp Walker helps people who have mobility issues to get up and go from just about any seated position.

The device is currently in a funding campaign through the Indiegogo website.
