ABSTRACT:
An ambulatory device comprising a frame having support rails, two large rear wheels containing hand grips, two small front wheels for steering, a foldable seat allowing the user to sit when desirable, and a height-adjustable support frame having a vertical and horizontal section rising from the frame. A body halter holding the user is rotatably supported by a swivel support which is connected by connector ropes or cables to a support bar. The support bar is connected by connector ropes or cables to a winch which lifts and lowers the user. An optional scale may be present so that the amount of weight of the user supported by the device may be measured and controlled.
