SOMETIMES
THE SIMPLE ACT OF WALKING CAN BE A CHALLENGE. This
is especially true for your patients rehabilitating an injury,
coping with dizziness or poor vision or looking to maintain
an independent senior lifestyle. Inactivity can lead to:
- Loss of bone density
- Decrease in muscle strength and flexibility
- Increased risk of cardiovascular events
and weight gain
Hugo® rolling walkers help improve
freedom and mobility making it easier to remain active and healthy.
CONSIDER RECOMMENDING A
HUGO® ROLLING WALKER:
- Rather than lifting a walker up & down, up & down,
to move, you just push the HUGO. Similar to the way a grocery
cart helps you move along with balance and stability, the Hugo
rolls along on four oversize wheels that are larger than most
other rolling walkers, to make it easier to go anywhere with
confidence, indoors or out.
- The Hugo® rolling walker is far more versatile than regular
walkers as it combines an adjustable-height walking frame with
hand brakes and a built-in padded seat that flips up to open
a storage compartment. Plus, the Hugo can be folded up for storage
in a car or on a plane.
- A HUGO then, is ideal for those who want to get up and go
using their own legs, and could use a little assist with balance
or endurance. It is well suited to those rehabilitating an injury,
dealing with severe arthritis or those who have conditions that
have hurt balance such as stroke, Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis.
- Hugo® rolling walkers are available in two models, the
original Hugo® rolling walker and the new Hugo® X5
rolling walker, a heavy duty walker with expanded capability
for adults up to 400 lbs.
- Hugo® rolling walkers can be purchased directly from
www.hugoanywhere.com or from select
stores in these retailers:
- Wal-Mart
- SAM's Club
|
- Costco

To help keep America walking, we made sure that HUGO is one
of the best values you can find in a high quality-rolling
walker. For about $155, you'll have a hard time finding a
better built, more-value-for-the-money walker than the Hugo®
rolling walker. Plus, Hugo may
be partially reimbursable through Medicare.
