Abstract
A foldable walking stabilizer device for a disabled person having a U-shaped base with caster assemblies on each leg of the base and upright members extending from the base, the upright members having brake assemblies normally preventing the caster assemblies to move and adapted to release the casters for movement on manipulation of the brake assemblies, wherein the brake assemblies have an adjustable tension control associated with the caster assemblies for permitting a user to slow down or speed up walking movement. The invention also discloses a fulcrum device on the base which permits the user to lift the device over curbs and similar obstructions, as well as improved folding mechanism which permits the device to be conveniently collapsed by the user for storage and transport.
