What is a tubular frame used as a support for walking called?

  1. A. Water intake

  2. B. Water pitcher

  3. C. Weak side

  4. D. Walker

The correct answer is: D. Walker

A tubular frame used as a support for walking is called a walker. Walkers are designed to provide stability and aid individuals who may have difficulty walking unassisted. They typically have four points of contact with the ground, which helps distribute weight and provides a secure support system. This makes them especially beneficial for seniors or those recovering from surgery or injury who need additional help with balance and mobility. The design of walkers allows users to lean on them as they move forward, significantly enhancing their ability to navigate their environment safely.
