The new Atlas Whoopy rollators are the next generation dorsal rollators. These rollators provide
improved functional features, are available in multiple sizes (for children as well as adults) and
provide stability. With the reverse dorsal rollators, the user pulls the rollator from behind as it were
and uses the handles for support. The user will consequently raise him/herself into a more upright
position and will therefore walk more erect. The user is positioned between the supports and
consequently has greater stability, support and safety.
The Whoopy is collapsible and is therefore easy to take along or store. Much effort also went into
designing its shape. The Whoopy is an entirely new design and is characterised by its continuous
frame, the thicker tubes, the curved lines and the refreshing colour scheme. The Whoopy is the
most stable dorsal walking aid available in the marketplace.
Three sizes
The Whoopy walking aid is available in three standard sizes and can be used for children and adults
alike:
- Size 1 (yellow): suitable for users with a height of around 65 cm to 115 cm;
- Size 2 (red): suitable for users with a height of around 95 cm to 130 cm;
- Size 3 (blue): suitable for users with a height of around 110 cm to 180 cm.
Standard features
The standard Whoopy walking aid comes with handgrips that are adjustable in height and width.
The front of the frame is equipped with swivel wheels with directional locks. The wheels at the back
are equipped with a new unique anti-reverse wheel stop that is indestructible.
Because of the fact that the Atlas Whoopy rollator is made with a continuous steel frame, it provides
excellent stability, quality and durability. Furthermore, the Whoopy rollators consequently also
provides much greater carrying strength. This is in contrast to lightweight rollators (usually made of
aluminium), that indeed are easy to lift, but that in Atlas' experience offer less stability and carrying
strength.
The Atlas Whoopy can be expanded to include the following options:
Removable seat;
•
Back support bar at the back of the rollator for additional support during walking;
•
Flexible pelvic support with band in conjunction with the back support bar;
•
Set of side pads for the pelvic support;
•
Band for the pelvic support;
•
Basket.
