For individuals with arthritis, hand injuries, or weakened grip strength, the Drive Medical Platform Walker Attachment offers a revolutionary solution to traditional walker discomfort. Unlike standard walkers that strain hands and wrists, this patented forearm platform transfers weight to your arm, reducing joint pressure by up to 40% (based on ergonomic studies).
Why Choose This Platform Attachment?
- Universal Compatibility: Fits 95% of walkers (including rollators and bariatric models) with its large top bracket and tool-free installation.
- Medical-Grade Comfort: The 2-inch thick vinyl-padded armrest prevents skin irritation, while the adjustable strap accommodates arm sizes from 8″ to 18″ in circumference.
- Lightweight Durability: Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, it supports up to 300 lbs without adding bulk (weighs just 1.2 lbs).
Clinical Advantages Over Competitors
While generic platforms use hard plastic, Drive Medical’s contoured design mimics natural arm alignment, preventing shoulder fatigue. The non-slip surface ensures stability even outdoors, and the 360° adjustable pole adapts to users between 4’11″ and 6’4″.
