Abstract:
Provided are mobility assistance devices, particularly useful in medical settings where a patient ambulation is desired but the patient remains connected to one or many medical components. The system comprises a mast connected to a base, wherein the mast is angled with respect to the base and from which any number of medical components is supported. The device geometry and connections ensure the device is extremely stable and tip-resistant. Also provided are oxygen tank holders to reliably and conveniently hold oxygen tanks and power management systems that reliably provide electrical power without impacting device performance or mobility. The device is deployable to permit conversion between a compact storage configuration and a stable deployed configuration.
Abstract:
A system method and device, the system including a gait device for facilitating a gait of a person over a surface and one or a plurality of crutches to provide support over the surface the gait device, each of said one or a plurality of crutches including a locomotion facilitator to enhance locomotion of that crutch over the surface and a mechanism to modify the locomotion of that crutch over the surface.
Abstract:
The present invention is a body-shape correction apparatus comprising: a left foot-associated rotation unit on which the left foot of a user is loaded and supported, and which rotates in the counter-clockwise direction and returns in the clockwise direction; a right foot-associated rotation unit on which the right foot of the user is loaded and supported, and which rotates in the clockwise direction and returns in the counter-clockwise direction; and a pair of spring units and a pair of deformation distribution units arranged to correspond to the pair of left and right foot-associated rotation units. Furthermore, the present invention provides a body-shape correction apparatus, comprising: a left hand-associated rotation unit which rotates in the counter-clockwise direction according to the external rotation of the left hand of the user, and which returns in the clockwise direction; a right hand-associated rotation unit which rotates in the clockwise direction according to the external rotation of the right hand of the user, and which returns in a counter-clockwise direction; a left elastic unit for applying a clockwise restoring force that is resistant to the counter-clockwise displacement of the left hand-associated rotation unit; and a right elastic unit for applying a counter-clockwise restoring force that is resistant to the clockwise displacement of the right hand-associated rotation unit.
Abstract:
A manually propelled vehicle (1) having an assist function that assists walking of a user includes a vehicle body (10), a wheel system (30) for moving the vehicle body, a sensor that detects an operating force, a power driver that supplies power to the wheel system (30) based on the operating force, a motion sensor that detects a movement of the vehicle body according to the operating force detected by the sensor; and a controller that controls the power driver, wherein, when the user operates the manually propelled vehicle (1) while the assist function is deactivated, the controller activates the assist function based on the movement of the vehicle body (10) detected by the motion sensor.
Abstract:
A crutch includes: a handgrip (2) extending along a first axis (AA1); a forearm support (3), provided with a stem (3b) which extends along a second axis (AA2) and is connected to a rear end (2a) of the handgrip (2); a support pole (4), extending along a third axis (AA3) and connected to a front end (2a) of the handgrip (2); and adjusting members (5), configured to adjust an angular position of at least one of the support pole (4) and the forearm support (3) with respect to the handgrip (2).
