U-Step Neuro Walker

The U-Step Walking Stabilizer is designed to increase independence and eliminate falling for those with neurological conditions (i.e. Parkinson Disease).

The U-Step provides more stability, maneuverability and control compared to other walking aids. Jonathan Miller’s mother was losing her independence due to a neurological condition that was affecting her walking ability. After she sought out help from physiatrists and physical therapists, who set her up with leg braces, a walker, and ten weeks of therapy, she was no better off. Jonathan envisioned a walker that surrounded the person, which led to the "U" shaped base. After making a few prototypes, he developed the first U-Step walker. Encouraged by a family physician that saw how well his mother walked with the U-Step, he was inspired to start In-Step Mobility to help people walk safely and stay as independent as possible. Thousands of people have benefited from Pauline Miller's walker, including a former U.S. President and one of the most famous boxers of all time.

The U-Step Neuro Walker is designed to make turning and moving through tight spaces easier. At just 23 inches wide, it can fit through narrow doorways, while its unique wheel design allows you to turn around in as little as 29 inches. This makes it easier to navigate narrow hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, and other confined spaces around the home.

The idea for the U-Step Neuro Walker’s optional Laser & Sound Cueing Module came directly from our customers. After a survey revealed that some customers with Parkinson’s were still experiencing freezing, our founder Jonathan Miller began looking for a way to help. That led to the development of the Laser & Sound Cueing Module for the U-Step, which uses visual and auditory cues to help with freezing.

Jane shares how the U-Step has helped her husband Thurlin, who has PSP, stay active and continue doing the things they love together:

“My husband Thurlin and I have been married over 50 years and love to stay active in the community, whether it be a restaurant on Fridays, outdoor concerts or walks.

Thurlin, though, had been diagnosed with PSP, which affected his balance and mobility. He had been using a regular walker outside the house, but as he was prone to fall backwards, the walker didn’t help – in fact, several times he just held on to me and we just dragged the walker home.

We met with Thurlin’s neurologist at the Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Siddiqui, and he prescribed the U-Step walker for Thurlin. Insurance covered some of the cost and we paid the remainder out of pocket.

Simply put, the U-Step has been life changing! It is an amazing walker and very stable. Thurlin was quickly able to learn using the U-Step’s reverse braking so that he could start and stop when he pleased. We go to Ohio University for exercise classes twice per week and to the hospital once a week for their exercise class.

We also purchased the Laser and Metronome module. As Thurlin had tended to take small steps, the laser shows a red line on the ground like a target to encourage him to take longer strides. The metronome’s clicking also helps provide a rhythm for Thurlin to take consistent steps.

Thurlin uses the U-Step throughout our house as well as outdoors. I am able to fold and load the U-Step into our Honda CRV so that Thurlin can walk safely wherever we go. In fact, we’re planning on taking the U-Step on a 3-month vacation.

We are grateful for the U-Step as it enables us to continue the active lifestyle we want.”

We’re proud to support our veterans. We’ve worked with over 150 VA Medical Centers that have purchased U-Step Neuro Walkers for veterans living with neurological conditions like Parkinson’s, MS, Stroke, and Ataxia. If you’re a veteran who could benefit from a U-Step, talk to your VA healthcare provider about getting one through the VA.

The U-Step Neuro Walker incorporates two control features to ensure that you walk safely.

The first is reverse braking. The U-Step will not roll until you lightly squeeze either hand brake. Once you release the hand brake, the U-Step will stop immediately. This feature is particularly helpful when standing up from a chair because the U-Step will not roll away from you.

The second is rolling resistance control. Unlike other walkers, you can adjust the rolling speed of the U-Step. Many people find that wheeled walkers roll too fast for them. That’s why we engineered a control for setting the rolling resistance. You loosen the set screw and rotate the adjustment lever to the desired amount of resistance, then re-tighten the set screw.

Together, these two features give you more control and stability while walking.

Affording a U-Step can be a concern, but there are different ways to help with the cost. Our founder Jonathan shares some options, including Medicare, the VA for veterans, and foundations that provide financial assistance.

Better posture (especially for those with Parkinson’s) and greater stability are two benefits of the Platform U-Step Neuro Walker. Dr. Chuck talks about how the U-Step’s arm platforms and low center of gravity help with both.

Sharon shares how the U-Step has helped her feel confident walking again and make the move from assisted living to independent living:

“The U-Step is worth every penny!

I was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease and since it was getting worse, I needed to move into an assisted living facility. I had one of those aluminum walkers, but it was so unstable I just didn’t want to use it. My OT at the facility noticed my tiny steps and instability when I walked and strongly recommended the U-Step walker.

Wow. The U-Step, along with my physical/occupational therapy and new medication, has improved my life beyond repair. I now walk with confidence and since the U-Step surrounds me on three sides, I have no fear of falling. I also now have the freedom to walk outside. The U-Step’s laser module helps me walk straight and with a normal stride length.

I originally purchased the Standard U-Step walker, but since my hand strength is rather weak due to arthritis, I had a hard time squeezing the hand brake lever beneath the handlebar to release the brakes and start walking.

The OT and I spoke to the company and were able to get the Press Down handlebars. The company’s support was great as they helped my OT swap the Standard handlebars with the Press Down handlebars.

Instead of having to squeeze the hand brake lever, I now only have to push down on the lever that is on top of the handlebar to release the brakes and walk– this is so much easier for me.

When you lose your ability to walk safely, you’ll do everything to fix it. The U-Step has been that fix. In fact, I now give demos to other residents in the facility.

And the best news.....I was able to move from assisted living to independent living!!!”
