International Classification:

A61H 3/04

Abstract:

A three- or four-wheeled mobility walker/rollator including a foldable or collapsible frame assembly including a main or anterior frame assembly and a posterior frame assembly, three or four wheels coupled to the bottom or base of the frame assembly, and at least two crossbar handles coupled to the top of the frame assembly. The crossbar handles are placed one in front of the other with the first posterior crossbar handle being aligned with or slightly behind the middle of the back wheel posterior to the bottom of the walker frame. The crossbars can be of a sufficient width and curvature to provide a continuous support for the forearms when the user is standing, and can provide more frontal plane stability and balance during locomotion compared to the handles of a traditional walker.

Abstract:

An ambulatory aid, such as a walking cane, including an elongate shaft, a handle at a first, upper end of the shaft, and a foot piece at a second, lower end of the shaft opposite the first end. The cane shaft can be adjustable at a top end, middle, a bottom end, or any combination thereof. The top of the cane shaft is aligned at a more posterior angle then the bottom of the shaft. The handle of the cane is elongated and extends posterior and anterior to the shaft. In a particular embodiment, a posterior portion of the handle is longer, and optionally larger in surface area than an anterior portion of the handle such that the handle is configured so that when the person's hand is gripping the handle, the handle will be offset over the shaft.
