kõndimisraam

A kõndimisraam, also known as a walking frame or Zimmer frame, is a mobility aid. It typically consists of a rigid frame with three or four legs that the user holds onto to support their weight while walking. The primary purpose of a kõndimisraam is to provide stability and balance for individuals who have difficulty walking independently. This can be due to age, injury, illness, or disability.

Kõndimisraamid are usually made from lightweight materials like aluminum or steel. They come in various designs, including fixed-frame walkers, which offer maximum stability, and wheeled walkers, which allow for easier movement. Some wheeled walkers have brakes for added safety. The height of a kõndimisraam is adjustable to ensure it is ergonomically suited to the user.

Using a kõndimisraam can help prevent falls, reduce pain, and increase confidence for those who need assistance with ambulation. It allows individuals to maintain a degree of independence and participate more fully in daily activities. Proper fitting and instruction on how to use a kõndimisraam are important for its effectiveness and safety. A healthcare professional, such as a physical therapist, can assess an individual's needs and recommend the most appropriate type of kõndimisraam.
