I looked up a reference to a walker frame in a story called "Winter
Market" by W Gibson. It was published in an anthology called Burning
Chrome (Voyager/HarperCollins 1995)

Several short quotations from the story follow.

"weaving through the bodies and junk wuth that terrible grace
programmed into the exoskeleton"
"Lise stood there in front of me, propped up in her pencil thin
polycarbon prosthetic"
"not without that extra skeleton, and it was jacked straight into her
brain, myoelectric interface. The fragile looking polycarbon braces
moved her arms and legs, but a more subtle system handled her thin
hands, galvanic inlays."

Hope it helps.

<quotations snipped>

No, I can assure you that what I've got is nothing at all like that.
