Claims18
A therapeutic walk assist device comprising:
- a horizontal frame shaped to form a planar surface;
- a plurality of front legs, wherein said front legs have a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is affixed to said horizontal frame;
- a plurality of back legs, wherein said back legs have a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is affixed to said horizontal frame;
- a pair of wheels each being affixed to the second end of said front legs, wherein a wheel-to-wheel distance exists between the two wheels, wherein a front leg, frame-to-ground distance exists between the top of the frame at attachment point of the front leg on the frame and the ground;
- a pair of glides, each being affixed to the second end of said back legs, wherein a glide-to-glide distance exists between the two glides;
- wherein a back leg, frame-to-ground distance exists between the top of the frame at the attachment point of the front leg on the frame and the ground;
- a handle shaped to define a first end and a second end, wherein first end is affixed to said frame, and second end terminates in a grip, wherein said handle has a long axis, wherein an a handle angle exists between the long axis of the handle and the long axis of the horizontal frame;
- a compartment at least partially disposed in contact with the frame;
- wherein the wheels and glides make up four points that form an overall substantially trapezoidal shape, the wheel-to-wheel distance, the glide-to-glide distance, and the wheel-to-glide distance bilaterally forming the perimeter of said trapezoid;
- wherein when said wheels and said glides are placed on a horizontal surface, the device is angled backwardly.
