Abstract

A walker apparatus (10, 210, 310) having a frame (12) configured to support a user above a floor thereunder and an upper body support (14) pivotably coupled to the frame (12) to move between a use position and a storage position is shown. The upper body support (14) is adapted to support the forearms of a user and includes a first pair of grip handles (30). A second pair of grip handles (32) is coupled to the frame (12) spaced apart from the first pair of grip handles (30). The walker apparatus (10, 210, 310) has a patient measurement device (58, 60) coupled to the frame (12) to measure a vital sign of the user and indicate the measurement on a display (64). An IV support (20) is coupled to the frame (12). A base module (18) is configured to hold belongings. The frame (12) includes upright segments (80) extending from the base module (18). A seat (16) has a frame member (92) and a seat member (94). The frame member (92) includes a back segment (110) which cooperates with the upright segments (80) to limit pivotal movement of the seat (16) when the seat (16) is in the use position.
