End User Desc: a 90 year old woman who is very frail and unable to ambulate without a walker.

Strengths: My husband and I take care of up to four elderly women in our Adult Foster Care Home in Bisbee, Arizona. Mark's mother has one of your walkers. When she was visiting this winter we noticed how easly it fit through the doorways. We bought this walker for one of our residents because it fits so easly through standard door frames without getting stuck. Because it doesn't have brake cables it doesn't get caught on everything you pass by.

Weaknesses: Because of the automatic locking wheels in back, it doesn't turn as easly as the same walker with braking cables and swival wheels front and back. The automatic pressure brakes require double wheel's in back without swivals.
