My wife was worried that her 88-year-old mother was leaning too far forward when using her walker and wondered if we should raise the bars to promote a more upright position.

This was my suggestion:

We're still married...but barely.

My wife broke her pelvis in three places and a collar bone in a bike wreck. The trauma doctors set her up with a walker with an arm rest on one side resembling an aero bar. Add one to the other side and her mother will be all set.
