A gait assist apparatus having assemblies for a chassis, shock absorption, swivel wheel (casters), pivot, crutch and spring tension. The crutch is fitted onto an upper shaft of a pivot housing to pivot relative to the chassis. A pair of topside tension springs extend from a shock absorption plate to the middle of the crutch. A pair of underside tension springs extends from the bottom end of the crutch to the underside of the chassis. Suspension springs space the shock absorption plate above the chassis. One of the underside tension springs possesses a tension/compression force greater than that of the other tension springs. One of the topside tension springs possesses a tension/compression force greater than that of the other topside tension springs.
