ABSTRACT:
A walking aid device which allows the user to retain a full upright position while providing continuous support of a portion of the user's body weight and allow the user to easily maneuver the device. The device has wheels which support two side sections providing upper portions at approximately elbow height. A brace member joins the side sections and spaces the upper portions thereof at a transverse distance slightly greater than the person's body width. Armrests are attached to the upper portions and extend in the fore and aft direction so as to provide a rear elbow engaging portion with a forearm engaging portion extending forwardly from the elbow engaging portion and having an upright hand grip at the forward end thereof. A transverse rib-rest is provided between the arm-rest means adjacent the rear of the armrest. The brace member between the side sections may be located between rear legs of the side section and is located near the upper portion to allow free leg room when the user is positioned against the rib-rest behind the device. The area defined between the side sections and in front of the rib-rest may be entirely open to allow the user to enter the space between the side sections from what would normally be the front of the device.
