  • Patent number: 5800318
    Abstract: A combination athletic trainer/walker for exercising a user's lower body, while giving the user independence of an assistant while walking. The wheeled legs, and attached frame is comprised of heavily padded sides. The frame work is vertically adjustable such that a front bar is positioned at the height of the user's rib cage. The front bar detaches, and is lowered to allow a user to enter and is then attached with a crotch strap between user's legs and reattached. The padded seat is positioned, initially at a standing height and progressively lowered to slightly below a 90 degree angle of a user's knee flexion, when finishing use of the machine. The telescopic horizontal legs are adjusted to an appropriate length to provide muscle strengthening resistance. Adjustment of the vertical legs controls the height of the frame work. Wheels are provided for movement of the frame over a floor, and the two front wheels are of swivel type allowing the user to turn in any direction.
