Forearm Platforms for the Drive Medical Walking Frames

If you own a Drive Medical Walking Frame, you probably know how effective it is as a mobility aid. However, if you have limited dexterity in your hands, this can make grasping the support's hand grips impossible. The Forearm Platforms have been designed to bear your weight through your forearms, which puts less pressure on your hands.

What's Included?

• 2 x Forearm Platform

Please note that although the Forearm Platforms are pictured on a mobility aid, the aid is not included with your purchase.
