walker or rollator
A rolling walker or rollator can help improve the quality of life for a disabled, elderly, handicapped, or infirm person with limited mobility. The light weight, sturdy construction, and safety features of these rollators and walkers can make a big difference in the ability of a mobility impaired person to go shopping, walk to dinner, or any other activity that might be too much of a challenge otherwise.
The three wheel "Winnie Walker by WINMED®" provides maximum maneuverability and comfort for the person who does not require the added stability of a four wheel rolling walker. It does not have a seat but comes with a foldable tote bag for storage.

walking frame
I have used the search engine Google and have discovered that the term "walking frame" appears in 8,380 English sites. Here are two examples of its usage:
1. "A walking frame is one of the many walking aids that is used to overcome one's difficulty in walking."
2. "Use one hand to push off the bed and the other hand to push on the walking frame as you stand up. Hold the walking frame in both hands."

In the UK (and Australia), "zimmer frame" is probably the most commonly used term even though it's actually a trademark.
