What is a walker platform attachment?
A walker platform attachment (also called a forearm platform or forearm trough) replaces the standard hand grip on one side of a walker with a padded forearm rest. Instead of gripping the walker handle, the user rests their forearm on the platform and bears weight through the forearm.
The attachment looks taller than 12 inches in photos — why?
The 12-inch height dimension refers to the platform attachment body itself — the padded forearm trough and its housing. The mounting bracket pole extends further upward to connect to the walker frame at the correct height. Total installed height will vary depending on your walker frame height and bracket adjustment.
Will this fit my walker?
The Carex platform attachment is designed to fit most standard walkers via a large adjustable top bracket. If you have a non-standard or specialty walker, confirm the tube diameter and frame style before purchasing.
Does this replace both sides of the walker or just one?
This listing is for one (1) platform attachment, sold individually. If you need forearm support on both sides of the walker, purchase two units.
How do I clean the armrest?
The vinyl-covered armrest wipes clean with a damp cloth or mild disinfectant wipe. Allow to air dry before next use.
