ABSTRACT:
A prosthetic-type device which that restores independent ambulatory ability to individuals who have experienced diminished mobility includes a "U"-shaped member that supports a flexible harness, similar to that employed by mountain climbers. This harness encloses the waist, with additional support for the occupant provided by a crotch strap, and maintains body position of the occupant at an appropriate height, adjustable via a button-operated pin locking system incorporated into a rear vertical support member, allowing the occupant's legs to reach the floor. The U-shaped support member is curved, and attaches to a height adjustment housing via the pin locking system, and subsequently into a base, on which are fixed a plurality of swivel mounted casters, each with a weight-activated braking mechanism.
