Abstract

[Problem] To provide a walker that is easy to use, in which a back support is configured as an open/close type to enable movement from the rear side of the walker to a walker maneuvering position, the back support being capable of being opened/closed by a person by performing an operation of rotating the back support. [Solution] A walker according to the present invention is characterized in being provided with a lower structure 2, a support 3, and an upper structure 4, the upper structure 4 being provided with a rotation-linking body 67, the rotation-linking body 67 being provided with a rotary shaft extending in the longitudinal direction of the walker 1 and a back support 7 provided on the rear end side of the rotary shaft, the rotation-linking body 67 being configured so that the rotary shaft and the back support 7 rotate in conjunction with each other about the center line of the rotary shaft, the back support being configured so as to be set, by operating the back support 7 and rotating the rotary shaft, to at least a closed position 67Y at which the back support 7 closes the rear entrance to the walker maneuvering position and an open position 67X at which the back support 7 opens the rear entrance.

Abstract

[Problem] To provide a walker having an excellent sideways fall prevention effect. [Solution] A walker according to the present invention comprises a lower component 2, a supporting body 3, and an upper component 4. The lower component 2 includes a lower base and a moving means provided on the lower base. The moving means includes a left-center-side fixed wheel 28 and a right-center-side fixed wheel 29. The upper component 4 includes a left side support 8L and a right side support 8R. The walker is characterized in that a distance ratio D defined as D2/D1 is 1.5 to 2.0, where D1 is the shortest horizontal distance between the left side support 8L and the right side support 8R, and D2 is the shortest horizontal distance between the left-center-side fixed wheel 28 and the right-center-side fixed wheel 29.
