PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a walker for urging walk training to embody leg motions to meet an original walk action by regulating the leg motions of a user to the walk action to rotate wheels and, simultaneously, for assisting the movement of the walk action by the movement of the wheels.SOLUTION: The walker having main wheels 51 connecting right and left frames 11 includes: a crank rod 31 for transmitting rotation to the main wheels 51 swing legs 21 having lower slide grooves 23, which give rotation to the crank rod 31 while permitting the slide within a regulation limit, and holding engagement for permitting turning and a slide within a regulation limit between the frames on the upper sides of the lower slide grooves 23 and step plates 22 arranged at the lower ends of the swing legs 21 for a user to place feet. The actions of the right and left step plates 22 approximate the leg motions of the walk action, and the periodic motions of the step plates 22 are linked with the rotation of the main wheels 51.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】使用者の足の動きを歩行動作に規定して車輪を回転させることで、本来の歩行動作に則した足の動きが体現できる歩行訓練を促すと同時に、車輪移動により歩行動作移動の助勢をする歩行器の提供。【解決手段】左右のフレーム11を連結した主車輪51を備える歩行器であり、前記主車輪51に回転を伝えるクランク棒31と、該クランク棒31にその摺動を規定限度内に許しながら回転を与える下部摺動溝23と倶に該下部摺動溝23の上側に前記フレームとの間に回動と規定限度内の摺動を許す係合を保持する振り脚21と、該振り脚21の下端に設けられる足を載せる踏板22とからなり、左右の前記踏板22の動作が歩行動作の足の動きに近似され、該踏板22の周期運動と前記主車輪51の回転とを連動させる。【選択図】図1
