About The Walkster
After Janae’s surgery, she was too weak to use her standard walker, but Ollie wanted to make sure she could have lots of time on her feet to get stronger and regain her walking skills. He designed the Walkster for two purposes: Firstly, in combination with the treadmill, for strength, exercise and relearning to walk. Secondly, to allow her the freedom and independence to move around the house on her own ….hence The Walkster.
