Abstract
The present invention relates to a walking support having a wheeled frame with upright supports and handles for the user of the walking support mounted thereon, whereby the rear wheels of the frame are mounted on lateral members which are pivotally connected to at least one front member of the frame through links. To ensure an especially flexible operation of the walking support, the upright supports and handles are arranged on the lateral members to permit the user of the walking support to move one lateral member at a time. The handles are vertically adjustable. The rear wheels are spring loaded to the lateral members so that downward pressure on the lateral members applies the brakes.
