Abstract

Traditional walkers have numerous drawbacks: non-wheeled models are difficult to maneuver, four-wheeled models lack stability, and smart models are prohibitively expensive. This paper presents a walker designed for seamless switching between two-wheel and four-wheel modes. Its rear support features two interchangeable spring modules, enabling two-wheel leaning support and four-wheel propulsion to meet diverse needs. The following sections detail its structure, operating modes, innovations, and cost-effective technical advantages, aiming to create a practical and economical rehabilitation device.
