ABSTRACT:
A method for treating ambulatory disease in a human patient having a torso, buttocks, legs, feet and hands, which legs and feet execute a normal stride pattern. A walker has a chassis having interconnected tubes all contained within a single plane, which chassis fits within the normal stride pattern without substantial obstruction thereof. A telescopically adjustable straddle seat is affixed to the chassis which allows the patient's legs to be disposed moveably forward and backward on opposite sides of the seat. A rotatable handlebar rotated at least one wheel of the walker. Wheels are affixed on the underside of the chassis. The patient is seated on the walker so as to support a portion of the patient's weight, but not the entirety thereof, when the patient is standing in a normal upright positure with the buttocks resting on the seat. The patient walks in the normal stride pattern while steering the walker with the hands on the handlebar.
