Walking Aids
ETS Mobility stocks one of the biggest ranges of specialised supportive walking aids in Australia. These are primarily walkers designed for children, but we have several models in adult sizes. Walkers vary from those providing little support to those designed to provide maximum support (gait trainers). Some are designed with the frame in front of the user, while some have a frame that is at the rear.
Walking aids provide a dazzling range of choices, so ETS staff are on hand if you need to talk about what walker may best suit your needs. To compare features and prices of many of our walkers, see our comparison chart ETS Walkers - November 2003 downloadable from the button at the bottom of this page.
ETS understands that you need to try a walker to see if it works for you, so we make available a number of walkers that may be trialled for short periods under the supervision of a Health Professional.
