ABSTRACT:
A planar seat support of generally V-shaped configuration is pivoted at an apex end to a side of an upstanding support post and includes a narrow width handle section to the front and above a planar seat, which is pivotably mounted to the upper edge of an opposite side seat support section of the seat support. The seat is mounted for limited pivoting with respect to the seat support to facilitate strapping of the walker to the thigh and leg of an afflicted limb of the user with the user in sitting position. A second handle section is integral with the post and extends upwardly therefrom to the side of the seat support, and the first and second handle sections terminate in oppositely directed tubular handles. Grasping of the handle carried by the support post after strapping of the walker to the user's thigh and leg permits the user to easily raise himself to an upright standing position while remaining seated on the seat. The seat support locks in the position with the seat generally horizontal and overlying the upstanding post. A spring biased plunger carried by a tubular handle portion of one handle section engages the other handle section tubular handle portion to lock the two handles in axially aligned side-by-side position.
