walking frame
Elderly stability support
A walking frame is a lightweight metal structure that provides stability for people who have difficulty walking.
The user grips the frame and moves it forward in short increments, stepping between its legs.
Common among elderly people recovering from surgery or managing mobility issues.
Also called a walker, especially in American English.
