ABSTRACT
Two commonly used designs of swivel walker are the Consort 800 and the ORLAU 1000. This paper examines how the footplate rocking edge spacing varies between these two designs and then considers how lateral stability might be influenced if reduced separation is introduced to facilitate ambulation for less able users. In general it is shown that there should be no obstacles to such variation on the part of an orthotist thereby improving access to these devices and function for disabled individuals.
