ABSTRACT:
A brace for assisting a disabled person in rising from a sitting position to a standing position has a handle extending from a vertical support such as a leg of a walker. The handle is moveable affixed to the vertical support by a coupling for positioning the handle for rising and for storage on the walker while walking. The handle is positioned above a lower horizontal member of the brace for enabling the person to rise from the sitting position. A handle grip is formed to cause optimum use of forearm muscles during the rising movement. A friction pad is affixed within an aperture of the coupling for retarding movement of the handle and hold it in a desired position along the vertical support. The brace has a U-shaped bracket for securing the apparatus in a stored position during transport. A pad is affixed within the bracket cradle for sound absorption.
