Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a walker-climber for people with disabilities on one of its legs, which allows the additional functionality of climbing obstacles of the type of curbs or stairs.
  • walkers are known for people with disabilities, who basically comprise a structure where the person rests with their arms or hands, and which is equipped with rolling means which allows to wander around with the security provided by the be able to hold on to the structure to stand up.
  • These walkers have the disadvantage that they are not usable by people with disabilities on one of their legs nor are they suitable for climbing curbs, much less stairs. For this reason the usual thing in people with this type of disability is to use crutches or wheelchairs. In the case of crutches a certain physical form is required, which limits its use especially in people of a certain age. Furthermore, when it comes to going up and down the stairs, the two support points of both crutches when the support leg is in the air do not provide sufficient stability and security.
  • the walker-climber for people with disabilities on one of its legs of the invention has a constitution that remedies the described inconveniences, since on the one hand it allows its use by any person, and on the other hand it allows to overcome obstacles such as stairs or curbs, and it does not have the apparatus or the cost of a wheelchair. It also provides greater benefits than some crutches or a conventional walker, greatly increasing user autonomy.
  • the walker-climber in its essential configuration comprises a structure provided with an upper tray with means for securing the thigh and / or leg, rolling means of said structure, and means for canceling the means of rolling
  • the thigh and / or leg is supported or attached to the upper tray, to which it is attached by means of support.
  • This support allows keeping the thigh and leg in the most propitious position that the disability, comfort or medical indications require, while the rolling means allow the user to roam with the help of the other leg.
  • the healthy leg is supported first on the top of the step or curb thanks to the stable and immobilized support that, through the other leg, provides the walker-climber of the invention when they are canceled The rolling means.
  • the disabled leg is raised and with it also the walker-climber since it is fixed to it, and so on.
  • the user's hands are free, which allows them to use them to help with the handrail of the ladder, if available.
  • Figure 1 shows a general view of the walker-climber of the invention.
  • Figure 2 shows a succession of views where the structure of the walker-climber of the invention appears in a configuration where it comprises both rolling and locking positions or rolling cancellation, and in the passage from one position to the other.
