ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to wheelchairs, walkers, scooters, etc. used by disabled or recuperating persons in cases of injury or disablement of the lower leg, ankle or foot. In particular the invention relates to an asymmetrical side support four wheel side support kneeling walker to be used when a person's lower leg, ankle or foot is non-functional. Balance is provided by a side extension, similar to a training wheel, which extends outward from the same side of the walker as the immobilized leg. This side extension serves as an outrigger to give the wheels of the walker an asymmetrical arrangement relative to the center axis of the vehicle. The foot and leg support rectangular platform and tubular frame are adjustable. It is preferred that the device be easily folded for storage and constructed of steel tubing for durability and strength and have a hand brake for stability and safety.
