Abstract
A portable parallel walking bar assembly is provided which is intended for use in a variety of settings due to the uniquely designed ability to rapidly assemble, disassemble, transport and store the apparatus when not in use. This particular design is made of five lightweight individual parts which may be assembled to form a stable support structure. Two of the segments are each of the parallel bars which in this design are collapsible in length and allow for variation in length. The bars extend to a length of 8.5 feet and collapse to a length of only 4 feet. The remaining three parts of the system are the support stanchions which the horizontal bars attach to for stabilization and their useful intended height of 24 to 40 inches. Each support stanchion consists of a flat cross-member, with beveled edge, which spans the width of the assembled system and provides the base of support. On both ends of each cross-member, a vertical support extends up and is adjustable in height. The vertical supports each connect to the horizontal rails in such a way that the assembled system is stable and secure for rehabilitation purposes, specifically for persons with physical disability to apply force through the rails to support their body weight as needed while walking.
