ABSTRACT:
An improved invalid walker is provided with extra bracing between each front and rear leg so as to increase the strength of the structure. In addition to the handle section of the walker, there are two braces connecting each front leg to its respective rear leg so as to make three structural attachments between each front leg and the rear leg. The bracing structure is connected together in a unique circular manner. An additional set of hand grips may be placed on one set of the braces so as to help an invalid assume the standing position from the sitting position. The legs of the walker are splayed to improve stability. The walker has exceptional strength due to the additional bracing that exists between the front and the rear legs and the manner in which the bracing members are associated with each other.
