Abstract

Patients suffering from the restriction of their locomotor function due to disease of the weight-bearing joints or ischaemic intermittent claudication, but who are otherwise relatively healthy, are enabled to achieve a remarkable improvement in the quality of their lives by the use of a new weight-relieving walker-scooter. The device is described. Simple experiments using the walker-scooter are recorded. The importance of ambulation is stressed, and the place of various walking aids is discussed.
