An assistive walking rear entry device (10) including a main frame (12), elongated upright body weight support members (14a/14b) connected to each side portion of the main frame (12) and two elongated leg members 16a/16b) connected to each body support member (14a/14b) one extending forwardly, the other extending rearwardly, each leg member (16a/16b) including a Tollable member (36) attached to a distal end portion thereof. An elongated seat (19) is attached to and supported on a lower portion of a centerpost (18), the centerpost (18) being supported on the main frame (12). Rearwardly opening lateral torso supports (52/54) are attached to the upper portion of the centerpost (18) and make supporting contact with the thoracic area and for propelling the device during a walking gait. The seat (19) is positioned against the perennial region to support the pelvis and to help propel the device on a "hands free" basis. The body weight support members (14a/14b) are preferably multi-function for body weight support during a walking gait and preferably are tied together by a cross member ( ) to insure identical side-to-side displacement.
