PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To effectively help the standing and walking motions of a user by providing a supporting member supported by the supporting part of a traveling member slidably in a vertical direction for supporting the user and a driving member for selectively moving the supporting member in the vertical direction. SOLUTION: At the time of using this walk helping device, the user holds the respective extended parts 19a of the supporting member 19 moved to a lower limit position by a movable member 11 under arms and grasps and operates one of operation handles 21a in a sitting state. Then, an electric motor 17 is driven in a prescribed direction, the movable member 11 is moved upwards to the supporting part 7 by a feed screw 15 to be rotated by that and the user is raised by the supporting member 19 and made to stand up. 'The, after the user is made to stand up to the position capable of grasping the respective extended parts 19a, the grasping operation of the operation handle 21a is interrupted, the upward movement of the movable member 11 is stopped and walking is performed by moving the traveling member 3 while grasping the respective extended parts 19a in the state. |
