Abstract

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.
