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.

When Kris’s mom began struggling with her balance, she switched from a three-wheeled walker to the U-Step Neuro Walker for greater stability:

“My mom did not want to lose the ability to walk – for her, to fall would be devastating. With the U-Step she can now walk and sit safely.

My mom has had a series of health issues that made her legs weak, resulting in her being less stable and off-balance when she walked. She used a three-wheeled walker for years with no issues, but her recent health concerns changed that as we were worried that the walker would run away from her.

She lives in an assisted living community. During one of my visits, I noticed a resident using a U-Step – it had a unique design, so I was intrigued and spent a lot of time on the U-Step website learning about the U-Step. Fall prevention was a major factor in purchasing the U-Step as several of the U-Step’s features addressed our concerns.

My mom uses the U-Step every day. Reverse braking is very important to both her and me – she is able to control when she wants to stop or walk without fear of the U-Step running away. She also likes the ability to rotate the U-Step and turn around in an elevator without any help. We have used the tension control on the wheels a little bit to slow her down.

The U-Step provides a stable seat when she needs to rest, and we don’t worry about the walker moving out from under her as she sits down. She also uses the basket under the seat to store her glasses.

The U-Step was worth the investment as it brings us peace of mind knowing that she can walk safely and confidently.”

One of the key features of the U-Step Neuro Walker is its reverse braking system. Unlike traditional walkers, the U-Step won't move unless you want it to. The brakes are automatically on, so you have to actively disengage them to move the walker. This helps prevent a runaway walker situation.

Both the Standard and Press Down U-Step models use reverse braking, but they work a little differently. With the Standard U-Step, you squeeze either hand brake to move, while with the Press Down U-Step, you press down on the lever or rollover bar to move. This can be especially helpful for people with weaker hand strength.

Watch to see how reverse braking works on both models.

The U-Step Neuro Walker comes in three different models, each designed to meet different needs:

Standard Model: Features a reverse braking system that keeps the walker from rolling until you lightly squeeze either hand brake.

Platform Model: Using the same reverse braking as the Standard U-Step, the Platform U-Step features padded arm platforms that provide forearm support, helping with posture and stability. It can also be beneficial for people with ataxia or those who have experienced a stroke or brain injury.

Press Down Model: Uses a modified reverse braking system that allows you to release the brakes by pressing down on a brake bar. This can be helpful for people with limited hand strength or cognitive challenges.

Swipe through to take a closer look at each model, and talk to your healthcare provider about which U-Step may be the best fit for your needs.

What does a mallet have to do with the U-Step Neuro Walker? Not much, except they both have a low center of gravity 😂😂

Unlike traditional rollators which have a high center of gravity, 70% of the U-Step’s weight is at its base, giving it a low center of gravity. The lower the center of gravity, the more stable you will be. This is a critical part of how the U-Step is designed to prevent falls and keep you safer when walking.

Walking again can feel out of reach for someone who uses a wheelchair. Some may be afraid to fall or lack confidence based on previous experiences. But we’ve had customers who hadn’t walked in years, sometimes a decade or more, begin walking again with the U-Step Neuro Walker.

The main reason is the U-Step’s stability. It helps prevent falls and gives people more confidence to get back on their feet.

If you or someone you love is wondering if the U-Step could help, talk to your care team to see if it may be a good fit.

Tim shares how the U-Step has helped his 89-year-old dad Bob, a former ice hockey player living with Parkinson’s, stay mobile:

“My dad loves his U-Step and calls it a Cadillac as he “drives” his U-Step around the house every day.

My dad (Bob) has always been active and played ice hockey till he was 70 years old – his nickname was the Silver Jet. He is now 89 years old, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and had fallen a few times recently, so we visited his doctor, who then recommended physical therapy. The very first day the physical therapist worked with my dad he strongly recommended the U-Step walker and pointed us to the website.

After reviewing the website, we called the office and spoke to Shira. She was awesome and very honest. When I mentioned immediately driving down from Michigan to pick up a U-Step at the main office, she explained that about 100 orders were in front of ours and that they needed to ship those orders first. She promised she would process and ship the U-Step to me early the following week....and she met her promise.

My dad was a carpenter starting at the age of 12, so he and I both have a keen eye for a product’s workmanship. Simply put, the U-Step is extremely well-designed and of very high quality. Attention has been paid to the details. For example, the gray latch ensures the U-Step stays compact when we fold up the U-Step. He also uses the basket under the seat to store the TV controller and his book.

He loves the 5th wheel (front middle wheel) as it helps easily transition from room to room in the house (some rooms have carpet, some do not). The extra weight at the base of the U-Step helps him feel safe and more stable.

The reverse braking feature of the U-Step is much safer than other walkers. My dad can more easily stand up and sit down grabbing onto the U-Step without any worry about the U-Step moving. When he is walking around the house, he knows the U-Step won’t run away from him. My dad’s U-Step also has the red laser line attachment – he uses the laser when he needs a little assistance guiding his steps.

Thank you for designing a high-quality walker.”

After a stroke or brain injury, one arm can sometimes be severely affected and very weak, making it difficult to control a standard walker. With the Platform U-Step Neuro Walker, your forearms rest on the arm platforms, allowing you to use more of your body to drive and control the walker instead of relying primarily on your arms. Dr. Chuck explains how this can help those with one-sided weakness.

Many people ask us how they can try out a U-Step Neuro Walker. We work with thousands of neurologists across the country, many of whom have a sample U-Step in their office for patients to try. If your neurologist doesn’t have a sample U-Step and they’re interested in having one, you can share our sample request form with them: https://www.ustep.com/sample-request-form/

The U-Step is at no cost to your neurologist, and we’ll ship it directly to their office.

The U-Step Neuro Walker uses reverse braking, meaning it only rolls when you squeeze the hand brake. One benefit of this is that if you need to sit down, the walker stays securely in place as you take a seat. The same goes for standing back up—it won’t roll away. The Standard and Press-Down models have a weight capacity of 375 pounds, while the Platform model has a weight capacity of 300 pounds.

Debbie shares her mom’s experience purchasing a U-Step Neuro Walker using Medicare and how features like reverse braking and the Laser & Sound Cueing Module have helped her feel safer and more confident while walking:

“My mom wanted to maintain her mobility and safety – the U-Step walker fit the bill and the process to purchase it was easy.

Both my mom and my husband live with Parkinson’s and have participated in different studies and tests with the Michael J Fox Foundation (https://www.ppmi-info.org). We heard about the U-Step through their activities and did our own research.

We thought the U-Step purchasing process involving Medicare would be complicated, but Tina at the office provided great service. She worked with my mom’s provider to get the prescription and clearly explained to us the entire process, including the paperwork submission to Medicare, our out-of-pocket costs and the timeframe by which Medicare would reimburse us. Everything went according to plan.

The reverse braking feature is what we found to be most important for my mom as that helps her to be safe and confident. We know that the U-Step will stop immediately if she releases the brake handle. She has experienced some freezing and she tends to take short steps – the laser light aimed at the ground helps her aim her foot so that she takes longer strides.

The U-Step is very high quality. We have noticed some of the little details that went into the U-Step. For example, the plastic tubing around the base lessens any marks on doorways if my mom accidentally hits one side of the doorway.

We appreciate the U-Step and have shown it to others in our community.”
