Walking with a forearm support frame requires two people to maintain balance and guide the movement of their legs. A consistent schedule for walking may be learned in 2 or 3 weeks and reduces the yelling and efforts to stand. After that occurs, sitting and moving with hand-over-hand assistance may be more effective.
Walking with a forearm support frame should be scheduled for the morning and afternoon to meet the need to stand up and walk. They can help determine the length of the session by telling carers when they are tired, which is usually about 30 minutes.
