Our Story
An Innovation 85 Years Overdue
“When I looked at the standard walker, I realized the basic design hadn't changed since the 1940s. Millions of seniors rely on walkers every day, yet the wheels only move forward and back. I knew there had to be a better way to help people move safely and naturally.”
Founded by Annika Chadha, A Step Forward identified a critical gap in assistive mobility technology. The OmniWheel Walker System was born from a simple question: why can't walkers move the way people do? Our patent-pending Bell and Cup design is the answer—bringing omnidirectional movement to an essential device that millions depend on.
