Abstract
The invention is an Enhanced Patient Mobility System for use by ambulatory or recovering patients. The Enhanced Mobility System is fabricated from sturdy tubular material and has a lower U-shaped base frame member mounted on casters with an upwardly extending mid frame member and two identical side frame members lying in parallel planes and each attached at it's lower extremity to the lower U-shaped base frame member. The U-shaped base frame member, the mid frame member and the two identical side frame members define a walking space for the patient with provision for the possibility of the patient also being able to move about with oxygen tanks, a patient intravenous drip apparatus and other medical devices and apparatus which must be transported by an ambulatory patient.
