Walkers designed with two-leg frameworks to support one side of the user only. These walkers are typically a metal structure consisting of two frame pieces about a foot apart at the base that meet, forming the shape of an \'A\' or that run in parallel to form a single handle at the top. Single-side-support walkers are intended to help users who need more support for standing and ambulating than that provided by canes and/or crutches but less support than that provided by standard walkers; they are intended for permanent assistance of disabled (e.g., infirm) patients and/or for use during rehabilitation.
