yes, i do. it is made for people with parkinsons. several years ago my physical therapist had me try one. i like it alot. it is very sturdy, a bit heavier than my others, but mu ch safer cuz of the way the brakes work. you must squeeze handles to get it to move. if you let go of your grip it stops. there have been two ti mes where a regular walker got away from me and i fell flat on my face. mine is called the U Step Walker. cost about 550$.

I own the u step I don’t think it’s worth less on carpeting. The U Motion has bigger wheels on it. That’s why like to try it out.

Did you go to Walmart try nitro walker out,? I don’t think they have reversed braking on it. You google reversed braking walker for Parkinson’s theirs about 3. or 4 come up. And they have the laser built in them when you frease up to make you start your walking step.
