ABSTRACT:
A wheel chair, collapsible or otherwise, that includes provisions for a patient walker telescopically extendable from frame members of the wheel chair for operation in a first position as a conventional wheel chair and a second position where certain frame members extend forward with handholds to allow the patient to utilize the device quickly and easily as a walker. The handholds are adjustable vertically to accommodate users of different heights and the frame members are disposed telescopically in such a way so that the device may be easily converted from the wheel chair mode to the walker mode by the user. A hinged seat allows the device to be collapsed for storage purposes or for the seat to be lifted for additional room for the walker.
