What is a hemi walker?

A hemi walker is a type of walking aid that is designed for individuals who have compromised balance or mobility on one side of their body. It is similar to a traditional walker, but has a smaller frame and a wider base for added stability.

Hemi walkers are typically used by individuals who have had a stroke, have hemiplegia, or have a neurological condition that affects one side of their body. The walker is used on the side of the body that needs support, allowing the individual to walk with a more natural gait and improved stability.

Hemi walkers are adjustable in height to accommodate the user's needs, and often have non-slip rubber tips on the legs for added traction. Some hemi walkers also come with a built-in seat for resting and a storage pouch for carrying personal items.

Overall, a hemi walker can help individuals regain independence and improve their mobility by providing the necessary support and stability needed to walk safely.
