Hello! How can we help you?

Why will not one lower leg of my stool collapse (fold) into the upper leg and what can be done ?

The reason a lower leg may no longer collapse smoothly into the upper leg is that it has become slightly bent. This usually happens when the stool is used on uneven ground or when too much pressure is placed on one or two legs—for example, when leaning forward or backward to pick something up. A bent lower leg can be difficult both to collapse and to remove.

If this occurs, you can order a replacement lower leg of the same model from www.walkstool.com under Spare Parts. Before ordering, however, you should check whether the upper leg is also bent. The easiest way to do this is to remove one of the other lower legs and try to slide it into the upper leg. If it does not slide in, the upper leg is bent as well, and in that case the only solution is to purchase a new Walkstool.

To avoid this problem in the future, be careful not to put excessive pressure on just one or two legs. This precaution is also mentioned in the blue leaflet included with each folding stool.

  • Gave me my independence back!…

    The Trionic 14” wheel walker has given me back the independence I had lost for years. For years I had to hold on to others if there was uneven ground, gravel or sand to walk on and just avoided those surfaces as I need to stop and sit regularly and i…

  • Walking and working outdoors…

    My 14er is perfect, at 79 overweight with bone on bone knees, torn ACL my Veloped is a blessing. I have been out in the field repairing my fences and doing other tasks that I could not do without much difficulty when using other walkers. I do not hav…

  • Trionic means freedom for me.…

    As an enthusiastic walker who also likes to travel with my dog through woods and meadows, I had to give up this pleasure at some point because of my progressive muscle disease. A rollator I bought from another Scandinavian brand was able to maintain …

  • Great experience all the way around!…

    I've taken my trek miles on the desert and it'll go anywhere. The training is bringing me to the point where I can walk without it. Even when I had flats from goathead thorns--the bane of all OTR cyclists--they were easily fixed at a bike store. Trio…

  • Veloped Sport…

    I am very satisfied with the Veloped Sport and can now go on longer rounds through the woods and on more challenging terrain without any problems.

    I can only recommend this product!…

  • My brake pads came very quickly…

    I had asked my handyman, Derek, to deal with the pads for me.

    He did a good job, and I was thankful for it. I’m not able to walk for miles while taking my dog for a walk (maybe one mile) but, because I have my Veloped, it makes life a great deal e…

  • Great product, great service.…

    As always with Trionic, I had great response to an inquiry about a replacement part for my Trionic rollator. I got a prompt response to my inquiry, quick identification of the part needed and immediate delivery. Great company, great products.…

  • A great product.…

    I am 93 and was always a lively walker until a problem with my legs occurred a few years ago. That resulted in my walking with a stick - not very satisfactory. Rollators are not so common in the UK, and when my Swedish relative suggested one, I r…

  • Great service, fast delivery and a tremendous life changing product.…

    I bought this after being introduced to it by a friend who had bought one. We both have MS and I have found the Veloped to be life-changing for me. I am more confident when walking both on and off road and I feel that I am getting a small amount of m…
