A walker adapted for every one of those who have widely different degrees of difficulty in walking. The walker includes a pair of leg members each having a front wheel pivotable about a vertical shaft, a rear wheel and a pair of legs, and a support member detachably mounted on the leg members and having a pair of armrests and a support rod provided at one end thereof and extending in a width direction. The support member can be raised and lowered relative to the leg members and can be turned 180 ° so that its front and back are reversed relative to the leg members. It is thus possible to mount the support member so that the support rod is in front or back of the user according to the degree of difficulty in walking, posture and build of the user. It is also possible to adjust the height of the armrests by raising and lowering the support member relative to the leg members, as well as the distance between the armrests.

Cette invention concerne une aide à la marche adaptée aux besoins de personnes ayant des degrés très variables de difficulté à marcher. L'aide comprend une paire de piétements ayant chacun une roue antérieure pivotant autour d'une axe vertical, une roue arrière et une paire de pattes, ainsi qu'un élément d'appui monté de façon amovible sur les pattes et comportant une paire d'appui-bras et une barre d'appui se prolongeant dans le sens de la largeur de l'aide, à l'une des extrémités de ces derniers. L'élément d'appui peut être relevé et abaissé par rapport aux pattes et tourné de 180 degrés pour inverser ses faces avant et arrière par rapport aux pattes. Ainsi, il est possible de monter l'élément support de manière que la barre d'appui se trouve devant ou derrière l'usager selon son degré de difficulté à marcher, sa posture et sa corpulence. Il est également possible de régler la hauteur des appui-bras en relevant ou abaissant l'élément support par rapport aux pattes, ainsi que leur écartement.
