My wife uses a walker. Can this be easily set up for the different length of pace?

There are instructions included as to how to set up the distance for each step by measuring the inches of your step.

yes, you have her walk 10 steps, measure the distance, divide by ten and enter the result as the length of her stride.

No. The unit will compute your stride length and it is pretty accurate. If you think that there is a problem with the stride length there is a feature where you can manually set it.

Yes! My mother has used this same walker for 2-3 years now and ways over 250 lbs.

I don't believe it would work for that. A free standing walker would be a better choice maybe.

We did not try it. We think it might make the walker off balance. Our first walker had wheels on the front. It would not fit through the bathroom door. The woman from Home Health showed us how to swap the front legs so that the wheels were inside instead of outside. We had already ordered this walker by that time.

I think one can set it up. It might be a little difficult but my husband and I set it up one at a time while the other chased around our toddler

I had no problem setting it up. Although it has small wheels, it wouldn't be particularly easy to move, especially for one person. My advice: set it up yourself or by one of their technicians, but find a place to use it and leave it there.

A little if you can use your legs. It is not really made for that use. My wife walks with it until she is tired then I can push her around, serves two purposes. We like it.

yes, much like most canes and walkers, have several adjustments. We are both tall people and works well

The walker, as previously reviewed, is well made, stable and adjustable. Without actually going back to the product I believe adjustment heights are listed somewhere. I think this comes in a petite version but would think this one is fine for 5 feet and, of course, is returnable if not.

Yes---It is very easy to "pick-up" the basic movements. There is a slightly shorter (less expensive) 4' version than the 5' one I purchased that might be worth looking at. Good luck!

It is an excellent narrow walker that will allow you to get through small spaces. But sturdy and steady. Got it for mother and mother in law in 80s. I'd recommend

The walker is a well made aluminum device which worked well for my wife who weighs close to 300 lbs. Of course she used it as a walking aid and it seldom, if ever, bore her full weight for prolonged periods.

this takes two settings one for running and one for walking. both can be adjusted manually.

It is very adjustable, but I cannot say whether it will work for a taller person. I purchased it for my mother who is 60 inches tall. She has it set on the lowest settings. If you have the walker it would be worth putting it on the tallest settings and giving it a go.

I get a lot of similar questions. The fact is that it's really made to fit the manufacturer's product. I had to modify this one by drilling out rivets, and then making new holes, and then using pop-rivets to customize it to my MIL's walker. Works like a charm, and we get lots of inquiries from other people who also use walkers for themselves. Why they don't make these adjustable is beyond me. Good luck.

This is a small walker that is used like a cane. It is adjustible but I'm not sure if it would be tall enough. Wish I could be more help. If he needs a big, strong rollator walker let me know. I have a brand new Drive walker that is too big for me - it's a beauty and is made for a big person.
