Alinkers are a great accessibility tool for someone who needs to sit often but can use their legs. Unlike a wheelchair, while riding an Alinker, you're up at normal conversation height. It folds and fits in most car trunks. Wheels are easily removed.
This is a "new small" size (actually medium), built for someone with inseam between 27"-31”. Please verify this is the size you need before proceeding. We're selling because we need a "Happy Small" (true small, or a "22 incher") size instead.
The stock frame normally comes with an 8" rear wheel, but we've replaced it with a 6" wheel, as shown. You can have either or both.
From Alinker.com:
From experiences over the years we have learned that the Alinker works for people who live with Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy, Parkinson’s, CMT, Arthritis, Spinal Cord Injuries or had a stroke or an amputation, but it is essential that you have the mindset to be active again. Using the Alinker helps to activate your brain. The brain wants to work, and when activated it can create new neural pathways to motor your body, so you can regain your balance and muscle mass, mobility and independence for as much as is possibly imaginable.
The Alinker can be hard work, especially when you have lost a lot of your mobility. It takes work and effort, commitment and determination, and sometimes, with all the best will in the world, it does not work.
It is hard to say for who it works and for who it might not, hence we offer the 15-day return policy, but please do not order it when you expect an easy ride on the first day.
In general, we think this can be a guide for minimum requirements:
Have some command over your legs.
Be able to lift one leg while standing on the other.
Be aware and cognizant of your surroundings.
Be able to make judgement calls on your own abilities.
Know your limitations in order not to overdo it or be unsafe.
