A lower limb co-ordination walking aid, one example of which is illustrated in figure 1, wherein the user's pelvis being held secure within bracing and the position, movement and angle of the foot to knee portion of the user's lower limbs, relative to each other and to that of the pelvis being controlled by interconnecting the lower limbs via the wheeled frame by straps, helps the user achieve a good upright posture, and co-ordinate a natural and efficient walking pattern, increasing and maintaining their capability of supporting their own body weight. The front frame wheels having adjustable swivels, together with the lower limb bracing accommodating side-stepping, allows the user to control direction of travel while eliminating any problems of unintentional direction changes brought about by irregular floor surface.
