Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CardioAccelerator?
The CardioAccelerator is a revolutionary new product which features armrests that can pivot in a reciprocating motion up and down with resistance in both directions generating physical exercise for various muscle groups. This dual motion resistance provides a muscular workout for one's arms and back (including but not limited to biceps, triceps, pectoral and lateral muscles as wellas one's neck muscles). Like the Original UPWalker, the CardioAccelerator enables users to walk upright in a safer, more secure posture as compared to traditional walkers and rollators that cause users to hunch over.
What are the benefits of the CardioAccelerator?
The CardioAccelerator offers all of the features and benefits of the UPWalker, and more!

The CardioAccelerator was designed with user convenience in mind and arrives with an easy-to-follow User Guide.

All tabs used for making adjustments are clearly defined in gray color. The Unit comes standard with armrest locking pins which allow the CardioAccelerator to be used just as our existing UPWalker mobility assistance operates, but 3.75 pounds heavier.
