Entry Description

POISEP is a contemporary walker for people who value their independence but need assistance with mobility. Some existing walkers and people with mobility issues still face tremors and significant fear of falling. To deal with these issues, POISEP enhances stability and safety features which mitigate poor posture by equipping the arm support and incorporates a unique braking and shock-absorbing system. Apart from the many functional improvements, POISEP also addresses users' aesthetic and dignity needs by giving them a mobility aid they would be proud to own.
