ABSTRACT:
An orthopedic mobility scooter for persons with a compromised leg or foot comprising a frame for supporting the weight of an occupant in a sitting position and a leg rest for supporting the compromised leg. The healthy leg is used to propel the scooter with an unobstructed stride. Wheels are located at the front and rear of the frame. Handles attached to a steering column and connected to a front wheel control the direction of travel. A padded seat is positioned near the center of the frame. A horizontal rod extending perpendicular to the frame is used to connect a leg rest and a stabilizing front wheel. The front horizontal rod and rear axle can both be positioned to either side of the frame to accommodate either a left or right compromised leg or foot. The scooter has enough clearance and stability to surmount obstacles such as street curbs.
