Walker (Walking Frame) in Ghana
Leading Walker (Walking Frame) Supplier

A walker, also known as a walking frame, is a mobility aid designed to provide enhanced stability and support for individuals experiencing difficulties with balance, strength, or endurance while ambulating. It typically consists of a lightweight, rigid frame with three or four legs, often equipped with non-slip rubber tips. The user grasps the handgrips and walks within the frame, which distributes their body weight and reduces the load on their lower extremities. This design offers a wider base of support compared to a cane or crutches, significantly improving confidence and safety during movement. Walkers are crucial in rehabilitation settings across Ghana, aiding patients in regaining independence and improving their quality of life.

In Ghana, the need for a walker (walking frame) spans a diverse range of healthcare settings and patient demographics. These mobility aids are crucial for individuals experiencing temporary or permanent difficulties with balance, strength, or coordination. Their utility is not confined to a single type of facility but extends across the healthcare spectrum, from large-scale tertiary care centers to community-level health posts.

Specifically, walkers are essential in various departments within hospitals and clinics. Geriatric wards and rehabilitation centers are primary users, assisting elderly patients with age-related mobility issues or recovering from strokes and orthopedic surgeries. The physiotherapy departments in both teaching hospitals (such as Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital or Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital) and regional hospitals rely heavily on walkers for gait training and restoring independent movement in patients post-injury or illness.

Furthermore, accident and emergency departments within district hospitals and polyclinics often see patients requiring temporary walker support after injuries, fractures, or surgical interventions. Even in primary healthcare settings like community health centers and clinics, walkers can be provided to individuals with chronic conditions that affect mobility, such as arthritis or neurological disorders, enabling them to maintain a degree of independence and prevent further deterioration.

Our commitment to providing reliable mobility solutions extends to a seamless installation process. We understand the importance of a properly set-up walking frame for the safety and comfort of your clients. Our team is dedicated to ensuring every walker is installed with precision and care, tailored to the specific needs encountered in Ghana's diverse environments.

The cost of a walker or walking frame in Ghana can vary significantly depending on several factors, including the type of walker, the materials used, the brand, and where you purchase it. Generally, you can expect to find basic, non-wheeled walkers to be the most affordable. More advanced models with wheels, adjustable heights, and specialized features will naturally command a higher price.

Prices are typically quoted in Ghanaian Cedi (GHS). For a basic, standard walker (often a two-wheeled model), you might anticipate a price range of approximately GHS 300 to GHS 700. These are usually made from sturdy aluminum or steel and offer fundamental support.

If you are looking for a more feature-rich walker, such as a rollator (a walker with wheels, brakes, and often a seat), the price point will increase. These can range from around GHS 800 to GHS 2,500 or more. The higher end of this spectrum would include models with advanced braking systems, larger wheels for better maneuverability, comfortable seating, and durable construction.

It's also important to consider that prices can fluctuate based on the retailer. Larger medical supply stores, specialized pharmacies, or importers might have slightly higher prices but often offer a wider selection and better quality assurance. Smaller local shops or informal markets might present more budget-friendly options, but it's advisable to inspect the quality carefully.

When budgeting, also factor in potential delivery costs if you are purchasing online or from a distant supplier.
