K.F., I don't think the U-STep would help Jamie at all. He falls backwards so the thing would probably land on top of him, making his fall much worse. I would like to see a walker that somehow locks the patient in so that it prevents falls either to the side or back. I don't think there is such an animal, but I could be wrong. Of course, there is an expensive power version but that wouldn't be much help to us. ------------ God bless Mary Ann (CG Jamie 65/25) ----------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
