Helping tamariki move confidently and independently is at the heart of what we do. The Ottobock Nurmi Neo Posterior Walker is one of our most popular solutions for children who are able to walk but need some extra support with balance or stability. Lightweight, sturdy and thoughtfully designed, it’s a mobility aid that truly grows with your child.
What is a Posterior Walker?
Unlike traditional walkers that are used in front of the body, posterior walkers like the Nurmi Neo are placed behind the user. This positioning encourages a more upright posture and natural walking movements, helping children better engage with their environment while also developing coordination and strength.
Designed for Everyday Life
Whether it’s navigating the classroom, enjoying the playground or heading off to therapy appointments, the Nurmi Neo is ready for daily adventures. It’s available in three sizes, each with adjustable components to suit a wide range of ages and body types.
Here are a few of the standout features:
- Posterior frame for improved posture and gait
- Lightweight aluminium design (from 5.5 kg) that folds easily for transport or storage
- Height and depth adjustable grip bars to support growing children
- Swivelling front wheels for tight turns, with optional locks for extra control
- Reverse-roll lock and optional anti-tippers for added safety
- Optional friction brake to help regulate speed and build confidence
- Fold-up seat for resting on the go
- Basket and custom accessories available to meet individual needs
Customisable Comfort
Children come in all shapes, sizes and abilities, so the Nurmi Neo offers a wide range of handle options to suit different needs:
- Universal grips to reduce grip width
- Mini grip bar for small hands (size 1 only)
- Forearm supports with vertical, angle-adjustable hand grips
You can also add gluteal and pelvic supports for improved positioning, especially for children who tend to lean back while walking.
Practical for Families and Professionals
The Nurmi Neo folds compactly to fit into car boots and storage spaces, making it a practical choice for families on the move. It’s built to handle both indoor and outdoor use, and its intuitive folding system and durable design make it a favourite among therapists and carers alike.
Choose with Confidence
With its blend of thoughtful design, reliable safety features and customisable support, the Nurmi Neo helps kids go further with confidence. It’s one of many options in our Paediatric Standing and Walking Solutions Chart, which you can explore to compare similar products side by side.
