Abstract
A walker system comprising a frame, a handle, a plurality of wheel assemblies, a pad assembly, and a post locking member. The frame comprises a pad support. The handle is supported.by the frame. The wheel assemblies support the frame. The pad assembly comprises a pad member and a pad post. The pad support slidably supports the pad post such that a position of the pad member relative to the frame can be changed. The post locking member secures the pad post relative to the pad support to substantially fix the position of the pad member relative to the frame. Optionally, the handle member can be slidably mounted to the frame for movement between lower and upper positions.
Claims20
A walker system comprising:
- a frame comprising a pad support;
- a handle supported by the frame;
- a plurality of wheel assemblies for supporting the frame;
- a pad assembly comprising a pad member and a pad post, where the pad support slidably supports the pad post such that a position of the pad member relative to the frame can be changed;
- and
- a post locking member for securing the pad post relative to the pad support to substantially fix the position of the pad member relative to the frame.
A method of supporting an elevated leg comprising the steps of:
- providing a frame comprising a pad support;
- supporting a handle on the frame;
- providing a plurality of wheel assemblies for supporting the frame;
- providing a pad assembly comprising a pad member and a pad post;
- slidably supporting the pad post on the pad support such that a position of the pad member relative to the frame can be changed;
- and
- securing the pad post relative to the pad support to substantially fix the position of the pad member relative to the frame at a desired location.
A walker system comprising:
- a frame comprising a pad support and at least one handle support;
- a handle comprising at least one handle post and a handle member, where the at least one handle support slidably supports the handle post such that a position of the handle member relative to the frame can be changed;
- a plurality of wheel assemblies for supporting the frame;
- a pad assembly comprising a pad member and a pad post, where the pad support slidably supports the pad post such that a position of the pad member relative to the frame can be changed;
- and
- a handle locking member for securing the handle post relative to the handle support to substantially fix the position of the handle member relative to the frame.
