Drive Medical10105-1 Platform Walker/Crutch Attachment, Silver

It was very easy to assemble. And for those who really need that with a walker, it is easy to fit whether you are short or tall. And it’s very lightweight because it doesn’t cause the thing to tilt or to fall. I am so glad that I got that investment for my son.

My husband was in a motorcycle accident and broke his hand, ribs, and foot. He needed this forearm attachment on his walker to get himself up and ambulatory. This was identical to the one in the hospital his PT was using. This was way less than buying or renting from the hospital, and we were able to donate it to the local veterans charity when he thankfully healed. I hopefully will not need one again but if I did I would buy this one.

Worked. Wife can now do standing exercises. Needs instructions.

I had bone joint disease in my thumb. I have a walker from when I tore my knee yrs ago and PT put a platform like this on the left side. Well now I've had knee surgery on the other knee and of course developed the same thumb joint problem in the other hand so needed to order another one. It's been yrs between the two, but works just as well. Slightly narrower, but not a big deal... recommended

Great product

These are extremely bulky and did not come with a crutch attachment like shown in the picture. I was hoping to add these to my crutches after a recent surgery to make the crutches easier to use but they are very bulky and heavy. I will be returning.

I recently had surgery and needed to be only partial weight bearing on one leg after for several weeks. Due to unstable shoulders, I was recommended to try a walker, with platform supports to take of the stress off my shoulders. I didn’t choose the nicer upright rolling walkers, as it would have been an even tighter fit through doorways in my home, but I wish I had.I did not find these attachments to be easy to install. That may have been due to my specific walker and where I could attach the brackets. The brackets would not fit over the handgrips on my walker. I suppose if I wanted to gouge and ruin the handgrips, I could have made them fit. The only other place I could have attached these was in front of the grips and that would have made the walker easily tip forward. I was able to attach them on the lower support bars, but lining the brackets up was not easy. I had to add duct table around the bar on one side to tighten the bracket so it wouldn’t move.Once I finally got these platforms secured on the walker, I found the walker to weigh more than my lifting restrictions would allow. When doing anything at a counter or where I need to back up, the walker can be cumbersome to move. Prior to my surgery I was very active and I still found maneuvering a walker with these attachments (all while not being able to put full weight on one of my legs) to be a challenge at times. I would not recommend this set up for anyone who is very unsteady on their feet or with any lifting restrictions.Positive for these platforms are the quality and price. These platforms were half the price of the ones at the durable medical equipment store and just as good quality.

The product instructions don’t explain how to get this to work with a rollator. I found the picture someone else posted of their setup to be helpful, so I’m posting mine. I did not have to use a wood block for mine. The post itself can be angled a little bit to follow the frame of the rollator, while keeping the forearm platform level using the elongated slots. I turned the bottom bracket around backward, as shown in the photo. Everything is nice and tight now! No slipping. Good luck!
