Ih helps my 97 year old father stand a little straighter when walking

Like I said previously, it is difficult for someone without great arm strength to push themselves up from a chair and stand up to the height of the arms of a raised Gemino 30. Additionally, the walker is not sturdy enough to hold him as he is trying to reach the hand bars.

My father, who is 97 years old uses this to straighten his back instead of a traditional walker which has him walking hunched over.

Well built, easy to operate, collapsible.

It's very heavy for someone disabled.

Male age 67, with Parkinson's affecting gait and mitochondrial myopathy affecting posture. This walker helps with both conditions.

It is sturdy and solid. Keeps me from fallling as much.

A weakness is the seat width, not being able to sit down because of the strap between the arm supports. There is no drink holder and the creaking noise is bothersome.

I use this walker and I have ataxia (coordination and balance issues). I had purchased this walker in May/June for my home use and am purchasing a se

Being able to walk with your arms at a high height

The locking wheels do not lock the pushing pedal, so the pedals rotate as you walk--dangerous

Height of arm rests

Locking wheels do not work so cannot adjust hand and arm location

I love that it is lightweight and I can get it in any car. I have the dolomite that is to heavy and awkward. I love how easy it is to adjust the height, the dolomite does not click into place and slides easily. Even with oxygen I get out of breath, the Gemino 30 allows me to dance which I haven't been able to do for years, it glides and turns very smoothly and I don't get out of breath. I can stand longer and walk further distances as it helps to take weight off my knees and hips which is helping me to build muscle in my upper body as well as my legs.

The seat is too narrow. I weigh 280, but I would rather have it narrow as it fits better in tight spaces. I need it more as a walker than a seat. As with all walkers you need to be very careful on uneven, surfaces. I flipped the dolomite on a small rise in the sidewalk so I am a little more cautious with the Gemino 30, but have still got hung up on some small rises without flipping it.

I am a 60 year old, female, weighing 280 pounds. I have interstitial lung disease, needing oxygen with exertion and arthritis in my knees and hips.

The Gemino 30 walker with forearm support is heavy enough not to turn over easy causing less falls and helps me walk and stand straighter.

The forearm supports make a creaking noise and the walker has no cup holder. The seat is not very big and it has a handicare handle in the center so you can't carry things on it. The accessories cannot be purchased in the U.S. because the walker is being discontinued in the U.S. - no one sells them here.

I use the Gemino 30 walker with forearm support because I have ataxia (loss of balance and coordination) and scoliosis.

It makes me stand up and is lightweight, but still not that sturdy.

Not being as sturdy as I am use to and the seat needs to be maybe 2 inches wider.

The person using it has CP and has had back sugury. I am trying to stand up straighter and get more mobilty to get off of it.
