A walker for aiding the movement of an invalid or other infirm person, comprising a plurality of rigid sections. Each of the sections has two laterally spaced-apart ends. Junction means are provided for removably securing the ends of the rigid sections to each other. Some of the rigid sections are removable from some of the junction means and the walker to form a cane. In addition, the rigid sections are recombinable with the junction means to form a cane. The rigid sections are preferably tubular to provide lightweight strength. These rigid, tubular sections may also include a telescoping portion having a plurality of holes or apertures for adjusting the height of the walker to suit each individual user, and for adjusting the width of the walker.
