ABSTRACT:
A walkabout with fall control for assisting people with varying degrees of difficulty walking includes a base frame attached to a adjustable height top frame with a adjustable height seat and a fall control assembly which directs a person toward the seat in the event of a fall. The base and top completely encircle the person. A portion of the top pivots outward to open and allow ingress and egress of the walkabout. The seat is positioned below and at the rear of the top. An open space is provided in front of the seat for a occupant to stand and walk. Multiple upright supports taper in from the larger base to the smaller top joining the two pieces. A number of rolling devices attached to the base allow the walkabout to be moved along a walking surface. The rolling devices includes units suitable for outdoor use of the walkabout. The fall control assembly includes a strap to secure about the occupant and multiple cords fastened to the strap and the top rearward of the front of the seat. Should a fall occur the fall control assembly guides and pivots the person toward the seat, preventing him or her from hitting the floor.
