WALKING FRAME:
A walker or walking frame is a tool for disabled or elderly people who need additional support to maintain balance or stability while walking.
The person walks with the frame surrounding their front and sides and their hands provide additional support by holding on to the top of the sides of the frame.

A walker is a good tool for those who are recuperating from leg or back injuries. It is also commonly used by persons having problems with walking or with mild balance problems.

Also related is a hemi-walker, a walker about half the size of a traditional walker which is intended for use by persons whose dexterity is limited or non-existent in one hand or arm. These walkers are more stable than a quad cane (a cane with four points that touch the ground, as opposed to one), but are not recommended as highly as a traditional walker for those who can use it.
