A bicycle seat supported generally by a tubular V-shaped configuration with an offset seat post to allow for padded leg cradle supports, padded handles and adjusting handle grip bars. The bottom of the ergonomically designed offset walker frame has an adjustable rubber tip for height adjustment. The seat is on a fixed top post. The position can be adjusted up and down in height, forward and back and front to back. Using the handle grips the user can straddle the bicycle seat and rest the injured limb on the leg cradle supports without having to strap the injured limb to the walker frame. The walker frame has been ergonomically designed for balance. The tubular construction is comprised of a number of offsetting bends and spacers, which offset the leg cradle to the proper distance for comfort and balance. The padded handles are forward of the seat with rotating handle grip bars on the ends of the padded handles which gives the user more comfort and better control when using the walker frame making it possible to maintain better balance. The hands and wrists keep the frame in a vertical position and maintain control over the stabilization foot for better balance. The offset bends in the frame move the stabilization foot out of the way of the good leg and foot making for a less cumbersome and more comfortable natural stance. The stabilization foot is under the injured limb giving the injured user better balance, which improves comfort and makes for a simple easy to use walking device.

Embodiments of a walker are shown, the walker including two patient-load bearing support tubes each having a padded underarm support for seating in the armpit of a patient, an adjustable-height load bearing tube and a rubber tip. Connected to each of the patient-load bearing tubes are two L-shaped legs with a wheel disposed at the end of the leg and a grip disposed on the leg for a patient to gripwhen the walker is in use. A main tube is connected between the two legs and defines the width of the walker. The height of the patient-load bearing tubes may be adjusted from an extended position inwhich the padded underarm support is seated in the armpit of the patient to a retracted position in which the padded underarm support does not interfere with the patient's use of the walker.

Wheeled walker with an integrated safety system includes a frame, wheels on the frame to enable the frame to be manually moved along a surface, and a belt/tether apparatus including a belt adapted to be attached to a person using the walker and at least one tether connected at a first end region to the frame and at a second end region to the belt. The tether may include an elastic portion that provides a proportional tension as distance beyond a slack distance of the elastic portion increases. This limits separation of the walker from the person attached to the belt.

The invention discloses a massage walking aid capable of assisting swinging of the shank. The walking aid comprises a walking seat. The upper surface of the walking seat is provided with a seat cushion, a back cushion and an armrest, and the armrest is provided with a button for adjusting a motor.
