Device to be used by a disabled or weak individual

摘要

A device for use by disabled or weak individuals comprises a support frame in the form of a frame (31) and a releasable anchorage device with a foot plate (32). The frame comprises front and rear support legs (33 and 34, respectively). The front legs (33) can be engaged with the foot plate (32) in order to anchor the frame (31) at the floor when the feet of a user rest on the foot plate (32). This prevents the frame (31) from tilting backwards when the device is used as a standing aid and it permits a sitting user holding the handles (42) on the frame (31) to pull himself up into a standing position. When it is separated from the foot plate (32) the frame (31) can be used as a walking frame. <IMAGE>
