Device and Method for Improving a Person‘s Mobility

The present invention refers to a method and a device for improving a person‘s mobility. It is designed as a mobile, technical platform offering space for one person being moved with power assistance.
In contrast to the already known mobility equipment, the technical basis of the inventive mobility platform consists of “rolling legs“ known as whegs (“wheg“ = wheel-like leg / wheel a leg / wheel-legs). These whegs combine the positive features of wheels and legs. To antagonize disturbing effects of alternation, a force coupled mechanical solution is applied.
