A mobile, rehabilitative walker is configured for use outdoors on an irregular or rough support surface. The walker includes a support frame, configured for supporting a person in an upright position, having a plurality of frame members defining an open rear end and an interior space sized for receiving a wheelchair. A plurality of wheels are rotatably coupled to the support frame, and configured for multidirectional movement on the support surface. A support harness is vertically suspended from a rotatable upper rail of the support frame. A crank mechanism is coupled to the upper rail, and configured to rotate the upper rail to draw the support harness upward. The crank mechanism includes a crank handle located near the rear end of the support frame to facilitate rotation of the upper rail.

Mobile rehabilitative walker

A mobile rehabilitative walker is configured for use outdoors on an irregular and rough support surface. A support frame is configured for supporting a person in an upright position and includes a plurality of frame members defining an open rear end, and an interior space accessible through the open rear end, being sized for receiving a wheelchair through the open rear end and into the interior space. A plurality of wheels are rotatably coupled to the support frame and are configured for multidirectional movement on the irregular and rough support surface. The wheels have a diameter sized to reduce friction between the wheels and the support surface and sized to easily roll over the irregular and rough surface. A pair of adjustable hand grips extend towards the interior space, such that the user is stabilized within the interior space of the frame by grasping the hand grips. A support harness is vertically suspended from the support frame to support the user, and is configured for securing about the user's body. At least one mechanism is attached to the upper rail directly over the interior space. At least one suspension strap is coupled to the ratchet mechanisms and releasably coupled to the support harness.
