Combination walker and wheelchair with improved ergonomic design

摘要

The present invention is a combination walker and wheelchair which enables a person with back problems and other physical disabilities to walk from one location to another without assistance from a third person with correct walking posture and arm movement, thereby allowing long walks versus crutches of current design and also enables the person to comfortably sit in the chair in spite of the person's back pains. The ergonomically friendly design includes a high level transverse bar which enables the invention to be pushed by a person's hands, arms and chest or enables the person to lean against the invention; a foldable main structural frame; a detachable back support and seat; and rotatable wide armrests made with compressive materials thereby allowing the chair structure the maximum width to get through standard doors and still have even wider comfortable armrests. Therefore, the present invention can be used as a walker, a wheelchair, a transportation chair, a golf trolley, and a spectator chair.
