ABSTRACT:
A walking aid is provided for persons suffering partial paralysis from disabilities, such as strokes, accidents, or any other deterrents to walking without aid. The walking aid comprises in one embodiment, a generally horizontal bracket having two arms extending outwardly from a center point at an angle to one another, and having wheels mounted at its distal ends of the arms for rotation about a common horizontal axis, and having an upright elongated cane-like member mounted at the center. The bracket in the aforesaid embodiment includes a third arm extending outwardly from the center on the opposite side of the axis of the cane-like member, and a projection extends downwardly from the distal end of the third arm below the plane of the bracket. A generally horizontal rigid handle is mounted on the cane-like member, and the handle extends rigidly outwardly from the axis of the cane-like member generally parallel to the third arm of the bracket in the aforesaid embodiment. A tray is mounted on the upper end of the cane-like member on the same side thereof as the first two arms of the bracket, to extend over the first two arms in generally spaced and parallel relationship therewith. In a second embodiment, the third arm of the bracket is omitted and the cane-like member is mounted at the apex of the first two arms and projects downwardly below the bracket to constitute the aforesaid projection.
