Walkers designed with four- or five-leg, rigid, wheeled frameworks. Wheeled walkers are typically a metal (some also include hard plastics) structure that frames the front and sides of users at waist level; they usually include a set of casters (i.e., wheels) and supports (i.e., grips) for the hands. Wheeled walkers are intended to facilitate users\' ambulation; they are intended for permanent assistance of disabled (e.g., infirm) patients and/or for use during rehabilitation.
