Patent ID: 10583065

Abstract:
A posture-correcting walker for assisting a user in performing safe ambulation, comprising a frame having a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs joined together by a pair of horizontal supports, a pair of handgrips positioned on the horizontal supports, and a pair of forearm guiding supports which project upwardly at a rearward angle which are adapted to maintain the user's elbows and forearms at a guided posture angle during ambulation to ensure correct walking posture with the user's legs maintained within the frame. The forearm guiding supports each have a retaining cradle which supports the forearms and restricts rearward and sideways motion. The walker further has a descending segment ahead of each handgrip to ensure correct placement of the hands, as well as a pair of stabilizing segments which cause the rear legs to project rearwardly which stabilize the walker.
