  • Patent number: 4188966
    Abstract: An adjustable walking support device adapted to restrain an infant or an invalid in an upright position and including a wheeled carriage through which the feet of the supported person descend to contact the ground. The support device itself includes a T-shaped seat bar cantilevered from one edge of a hinged parallelogram, the parallelogram including an internally directed spring for biasing the alignment thereof. Included further in the parallelogram and extending diagonally across the pivots thereof is a hydraulic strut for controlling the rate of descent or ascent of the seat support. Deployed above the seat support, once more in cantilever, is a U-shaped bracket for restraining the torso of the user. This same device may include, in alignment above the bracket and the seat support, a head support fixture, thus providing for control over the body alignment of incapacitated patients.
