Paraplegics, who number about 100,000 in the United States, depend on crutches for their mobility on level ground. But crutches are ineffective on stairways; for climbing or descending, the paraplegic needs a stable pair of rails to push against. Aluminum metal walkers are designed for use on level surfaces, hence they have little utility on stairs; and, although lightweight, they are too heavy to be carried by the paraplegic while walking on crutches. There exists a need for a walker specifically designed for stair use and made of material much lighter than aluminum.
