FEATURES
FRONT SKIDS
Front skids stabilize YouWalk™ during walking. When weight is transferred onto the bar, skids come in contact with the floor and prevent the chair from any movement, making the walker very stable and providing the patient with support. Skids are padded with rubber to provide strong traction on any surface for even higher stability and prevent scratches on the floor.
SAFETY STRAP
Safety strap catches patient in the event of a fall or collapse. It can be unlocked and removed easily. The strap is padded and designed in such a way that in the event of a fall the person slides back onto the edge of the chair.
WALKING BAR
Padded walking bar opens for easy in and out.
HAND BRAKES
Hand brakes are easily accessible and require very little effort to activate.
FOOTRESTS
Footrests fold up and down so that they are completely out of the way during walking. Footrests height can also be adjusted for the most comfortable sitting position.

Kimberly Allen
Licensed Massage Therapist, Promotion & Sales
Kimberly has an extensive background in rehabilitation and will be key as we move into sales. In 1984 she went to work at Douglas Community Hospital for ten years, splitting that time between Outpatient Physical Therapy and the Inpatient Rehab Care Unit. She expanded her ability to provide additional care for patients through massage school and received her License in 1996. She returned to the Outpatient Clinic where she continued caring for patients in their rehabilitation for another five years before pursuing an independent career in Massage therapy opening her Day Spa in 2000. To date, she continues this venue of care and takes great joy and comfort as she assists clients to overcome various conditions on a path to a strong recovery through therapeutic offerings. While working in Physical therapy, she witnessed many diagnoses; from extensive injury from motor vehicle accidents, hip fracture from a fall, head injuries and stroke. Many of the patients she worked with were unable to walk without a walker or crutches or were confined to a wheelchair. They could not transfer or stand without significant help or stand-by assist. When a patient loses the ability to stand or walk it affects the mental, physical, psyche and neurology in their body. This leads to depression, muscle weakness, and atrophy. She saw first hand how these debilitating conditions affected the patient and their family. If the patient was unsafe standing or transferring, they simply could not go home. This caused huge financial and emotional stress on the family. So…What if there was a way to make a patient safe at home, be able to walk without help, and do all of these things without the threat of falling. This would be a great step towards recovered independence! Hope is restored, muscle tone and strength is increased, confidence and independence are regained! Seeing Youwalk Today fill this very niche with innovation, style and cutting edge technology is why she joined the Youwalk Team. “Youwalk Today imbues confidence, safety, and independence. This is truly a win-win for everyone!”
Todd Worley
IT Specialist
Todd Worley is an internet technician specialist and an online marketer. He also has a unique connection with Youwalk™ Today as he is also disabled. Todd has lived with his disability for more than 15 years during which time he struggled, relying on social security. He was introduced to internet marketing in 2013 and found a job he could do with his physical limitations and one that became a passion. That passion grew even more with website development as he took online training to enhance his understanding of programming languages such as PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, jQuery, Ajax, HTML5, CSS3. Todd fell in love with the Youwalk™ chair when he saw the first prototype. This was very personal since Todd experienced limited mobility. Todd now works with Youwalk™ Today to spread the word that limited mobility no longer… means a limited life.
