Your manager should complete the PIN request form which can be found on IRIS and return it to the PIN request mailbox here There are a number of actions that you can take to minimise your risk of a fall whilst using a walking aid.

This frame is held stationary while the user steps forwards. Tripods and quadrupods are available in narrow and wide based versions, the wide base offering greater stability. All can be used right or left-handed; the handgrip can be rotated through 180 degrees so that the spread of the base is away from the user.

You may find this an easy mechanism to operate, but these frames are not as compact when folded as those with other folding mechanisms. Triangular frames are sometimes called 'Delta' or 'tri-wheeler frames'. They have a single front swivel castor and two uni-directional rear wheels. The larger wheels make them suitable for use outdoors. You may find them more manoeuvrable than four wheeled walkers, although not as stable. As they are so manoeuvrable, the use of the brakes when the person stops walking is important for safety. Like two wheeled rollators they may allow you to adopt a more flowing walking pattern than a non-wheeled walking frame. The height of the pushing handles can be adjusted.
