Instead of a wheel chair and muscle atrophy, a trike sans pedals would be stable but would exercise the legs. One might use it part of a day for years.

Hi Rick,
The old fashion walking bikes first gave me the idea of a walking support. Here's a link to a modern walking bike. Go to: http://glidecycle.com/

And here's a great website for all kinds of walking devices for the disabled.

Cheers, Max
