ABSTRACT:
An assistive mobility device is provided that includes an automatic positive locking system, which permits an operator to move the assistive mobility device when an actuator is engaged and automatically lock the assistive mobility device when the actuator is disengaged. The assistive mobility device includes a braking system, stowable footrest and armrests, and an adjustable back, which all require the single-handed operation of the operator to function. The collapsible footrest is stowed under the seat permitting an occupant optimal entry into or exit from the assistive mobility device. The assistive mobility device can be formed from non-corrosive materials, including stainless steel, composite fibers, nylon, and plastics, for use in aquatic environments.
