An apparatus for assisting a user in rising from a seated position onto a walker is presented. The invention is a stabilizer assembly with a hinge coupled to the wheelbase of each front leg of a walker. A stabilizer bar configured to be in a stowed or deployed position is coupled to the hinge. The stabilizer bar is configured to lay substantially flat on the ground and angled away from front wheel centerline when in the deployed position such that the walker is restrained from movement when a caregiver steps on the stabilizer bar.
