↓01 / THE LIFEGLIDER DIFFERENCEIt Starts With
It Starts With
Where You're Supported.
LifeGlider surrounds your body with support, rather than asking your hands and arms to do all the work.
Fall prevention
Upright posture
Support near your centre of balance
Two handgrips for support
Brake to control movement
Perching stool to rest
Upright Posture
Support around your body encourages an upright position, helping you look ahead rather than lean over a walking frame.
Support Near Your Centre Of Balance
The adjustable harness sits low around your hips, beneath your stomach, helping keep your body positioned within the frame.
Two Handgrips For Support
Two handgrips give you support when you need it. If your ability allows, you can free a hand for everyday activities.
Brake To Control Movement
The brake is within reach so you can control the movement of your LifeGlider. Follow the manual for safe operation.
Perching Stool To Rest
The shaped perching stool is already beneath you, ready to take weight when you need to pause or your legs begin to tire.
Designed to reduce fall risk. No mobility aid removes every risk. Use the correct size and follow the product instructions for your ability and surroundings.
THE CASE FOR BETTER-MATCHED SUPPORT
Repeated Falls Deserve A Fresh Look.
Independent research documents repeated falls in older people and people with Parkinson’s or MS. It also shows why selection, fit, training and actual use of equipment matter.
Why Explore LifeGlider?
If you can stand and bear weight but your current walking aid is not meeting your needs, LifeGlider’s wrap-around support offers a different design to consider. Explore how the core support, frame and shaped seat could fit your everyday life.
The research library explains the problem and the case for individual selection. These studies did not directly test LifeGlider or establish it as the best aid for most people.
Explore The Evidence And Our SummaryA Better Conversation About Prevention.
We want services to consider alternatives when existing support is insufficient, with practical demonstrations and evaluation of what works for the individual. Our Studies page also explains documented barriers to adopting new medical technology.

GOOD QUESTIONSLet's Make
Let's Make
Things Clearer.
Do I need an assessment before buying?
No. You can order directly online. A free video demonstration and help with sizing are available if you want them. Follow any existing advice from your care team.
Can I walk without holding the handles?
Yes, where your ability and surroundings allow. The wrap-around support is central to the design. Keep the brake accessible and follow the instructions for use.
Does it prevent every fall?
No device can prevent every fall. LifeGlider is designed to reduce fall risk by supporting the body within the frame. Correct use, size and suitable surfaces matter.
Can I use it indoors and outdoors?
Yes, on suitable stable, reasonably smooth and level surfaces. Check doorways and turning space at home. It is not intended for rough or unstable terrain.
What about delivery and warranty?
LifeGliders supplied by Mobility UK include a 12-month UK warranty and return-to-base repair support. See warranty, repairs and spare parts. Current delivery arrangements and purchase terms are shown before you order.

We can provide product information and a quotation for funding enquiries, including Access to Work, charitable support, NHS and local authority routes. Eligibility and decisions sit with each funding provider.
