ZIMMER FRAME / ZIMMER WALKING FRAME
Consider purchasing a walker with a Zimmer frame if you’re looking for an excellent modern-style walker that can provide a lot of benefits. Zimmer walking frames, otherwise known as mobility walkers, allow users to walk more easily while providing exceptional mobility and stability.

What Exactly Is a Zimmer-Frame Walker?
A Zimmer frame is another term for a standard walker. The name is derived from a company known as Zimmer Holdings, which is a major manufacturer of walkers and other disability equipment. The phrase ,“Zimmer frame” is most commonly used in the United Kingdom, however there are many consumers in the US who are familiar with it as well.
Once rollators were invented and became popular, the term 3-wheeled Zimmer frame became popular. There are numerous benefits to using a Zimmer frame, especially one with two front wheels:
Avoid Atrophy
In order to maintain or increase stamina and stability, a person needs to exercise his muscles. A Zimmer frame allows users to exercise their leg muscles by using them for what they’re intended for – walking. People’s bodies get older, and sometimes, people suffer from debilitating conditions such as trauma, surgery, or even partially crippling muscular or skeletal disorders.
The more that these individuals, and anyone, really, can use their muscles, the better. Exercising muscles by using a walker also helps to maintain one’s mental well-being and allows users to control their weight, keep their cholesterol and blood pressure in check, and manage other health concerns.
Increase Support
Walking without assistance – or even walking with the best walking canes out there – can get pretty tiring. Thus, having a mobility Zimmer frame can greatly enhance a user’s walking experience by allowing them a bit of extra support on their arms. The weight is balanced and distributed evenly throughout the entire frame, rather than just in a singular space.
This also helps users with comfort, since they don’t have to put all of their weight on their legs and joints. The older a person gets, the more susceptible they are to slips, falls, and even broken bones, often due to falls, but sometimes caused by weight bearing. By using a Zimmer-style frame, they can avoid this by reducing the weight load on their bodies.
