ABSTRACT:
Mobility assist devices for moving an individual with limited mobility, or allowing such an individual to move himself or herself, include: a substantially-rigid frame or body assembly having sufficient strength to support the weight of the individual; a plurality of lockable/brakeable rolling members attached to the substantially-rigid frame or body assembly; and a seat member attached to the substantially-rigid frame or body assembly, wherein the seat member includes a seat bottom member and a deployable seat back member that is selectively adjustable from at least a first upright position to a second reclined position, wherein in the second reclined position the seat bottom member and the deployable seat back member are substantially collinear, thereby functioning as a ramp that facilitates loading/unloading of the individual into/out of the seat member and the mobility assist device.
