A powered walker apparatus includes a frame assembly defining a central space for containing an operator in a standing position. A mechanism is included for selectively moving the apparatus over a ground surface. A gate is provided for closing an entryway into the central space and is adapted to define the front surface of the apparatus when in a closed position. Finally, a seat assembly arrangement is provided having a seat member movable between a substantially horizontal position within the central space wherein the operator is maintained in a sitting position and a substantially vertical position wherein the operator is maintained in a standing position within such central space.
