If You Hold the Wall When You Walk, Read This

It starts small

A hand on the wall on the way to the kitchen. A grip on the railing before the first stair. Legs that tire sooner than they used to.

If you grip the railing going down the stairs, this is for you.

A cane helps balance. It doesn't lift your leg.

"The best way to fix poor balance is a cane, right?" A cane takes one of your hands, and it doesn't help lift your leg. Walk Assist works with your leg, so both hands stay free.

It's not a knee brace either. It works from hip to knee.

How it works, with no battery

A waist belt connects to a knee holder with the Momentum Strap. As your hip and knee move, it's designed to support the upward motion of your leg.

• 100% mechanical: no motor, battery or charging
• Works on one leg or both
• You still walk under your own power

During the day: it's lightweight and low profile, so you can wear it under everyday clothing. You can sit and drive while wearing it.

What it doesn't do: it isn't motorized and it doesn't walk for you. If you rely on a cane or walker for balance, keep using it and ask your doctor what's right for you.
