The best walker for those with PSP

Most walker require the user to grip on the levers in order to apply the brakes. Those with PSP and other neurological disorders require a walker that works the opposite way. There is a walker by the name "U Step 2 Walker" that is always in brake mode until either lever is squeezed. Most insurance company's will fight you to have them pay for it. I have put up a website that covers a number of things relating to PSP. On my site supportpsp.com there is a page detailing how to get insurance companies to pay for this better walker. This U Step 2 Walker also is bottom heavy and helps in reventing falls. My website never asks for money, and I don't accept advertising. I'm just a caregiver for my wife, and I'm trying to get good information out there.
