ABSTRACT:
A walker including a wheeled frame with laterally spaced upright side supports which extend laterally inwardly at their upper ends for detachable and articular connection to opposite sides of a body jacket mounted on and generally in enclosing relation to the thoracic cavity of a user. The jacket is of molded plastic material having a substantial degree of vertical rigidity and an entrance slot enabling the jacket ends to be spread apart to enable it to be placed around the chest or thoracic cavity with straps securing the jacket in place. Opposite side portions of the jacket are provided with headed studs which are received in upwardly facing slots and retained therein by retaining members on the inner ends of the laterally inwardly extending side members of the wheeled frame to provide a pivotal connection between the jacket and the wheeled frame with the entire weight of the user being supported by the jacket and wheeled frame thereby leaving the hands, arms, legs and feet free to move. This enables the user to move from one location to another by exerting foot thrust on a floor surface without the user being required to support their own weight.
