Up-right walker for supporting a patient with up-right posture

A method for providing an up-right walker, comprising:

• providing a first side frame having a back leg frame and a front leg frame;
• providing a second side frame having a back leg frame and a front leg frame, the second side frame being parallel to the first side frame;
• coupling the first and second side frames at the front legs of the first and second side frames using at least one cross member to form a leading edge and to provide structural support while providing an opening extending to the leading edge between the first and second side frames at the back legs of the first and second side frames;
• coupling wheels for contacting a floor surface for enabling motion to the back leg frame and front leg frame of the first and second side frames;
• providing a first support frame at the top of the first side frame and a second support frame at the top of the second side frame,
• coupling a first forearm support structure to the first support frame and a second forearm support structure to the second forearm support frame, wherein the coupling of the first and second support structure comprising configuring the first and second support structure to have an angled slope not parallel to the floor surface engaged by the wheels;
• providing a first hand grip at a first distal end of the first forearm support structure and a second hand grip at a first distal end of the second forearm support structure;
• and
• arranging the coupling the first and second forearm support structure to hold a user upright by supporting, at a second distal end opposite from the first distal end, elbows of the user when upper arms of the user are in a vertical position to allow the user to walk in an upright position while being supported at the elbows.
