Abstract A mobility assisting device (110) which includes a vertical support structure (116) pivotally coupled to a substantially planar base structure (114). The vertical support structure (116) can have an underarm support (134) so that the base (114) remains parallel to the ground as the base (114) moves relative to the ground. The underarm support (134) is mounted to the vertical support structure (116) so as to be pivotal relative thereto to avoid the translation of pressure points under the patient's arms and rubbing between the upper end of the support (116) and the underarm. The underarm support (134) is angled relative to the plane of the device (110) to increase the comfort of the user. The base (120) is biased perpendicular to the support structure (116) by a resilient shock dampening pad (130) between the support structure (116) and the base (114). Image

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'aide à la mobilité (110) qui comporte une structure support verticale (116) couplée pivotante à une structure de base (114) sensiblement plane. Cette structure support verticale (116) peut être pourvue d'un appui-bras de façon que la base (114) reste parallèle au sol pendant les mouvements de la base (114) par rapport au sol. Le support de l'appui-bras (134) est monté sur la structure support verticale (116) de façon à rester pivotant par rapport à ce support et éviter, d'une part toute translation des points de pression sous les bras du patient, et d'autre part les frottements entre l'extrémité supérieure du support (116) et l'appui-bras. Le support de l'appui-bras (134) est incliné par rapport au plan du dispositif (110) de façon à augmenter le confort de l'utilisateur. La base (120) est maintenue perpendiculaire à la structure support (116) par l'effet de ressort d'un tampon élastique antichoc (130) situé entre la structure support (116) et la base (114).
