Abstract
Walkers to assist movement of a person through spaces of varying dimensions are provided. Users may easily adjust the width of the devices to enable them to travel through narrow passageways such as aisles in airplanes. Users may also easily store these devices in small spaces through mechanisms that allow for collapsing of the walkers.
