    Abstract: A rolling walker comprises a frame, a seat supported by that frame, and a backrest supported by the frame. By one approach the backrest is configured to selectively move between a first position that provides back support for a person sitting in the seat facing in a forward direction and a second position that provides back support for a person sitting in the seat facing in a rearward direction. If desired, this backrest can be comprised of a material (such as a memory foam material) that biases the backrest towards that first position when the backrest is in the first position and that biases the backrest towards the second position when the backrest is in the second position.

    Abstract: A wrap around walking aid is configured to assist a human user in walking. The wrap around walking aid comprising has a first rear lower frame and a first front lower frame mechanically coupled to a first upper frame. A back rest is connected to the first rear lower frame. A second rear lower frame and a second front lower frame are mechanically coupled to a second upper frame. The second rear lower frame is further mechanically coupled to the back rest. At least one first fixed front wheel is mechanically coupled to both front lower frames. At least one first castor rear wheel is mechanically coupled to both rear lower frames. The wheels enable a turn radius while the human user is walking forward.

    Abstract: A folding walker is provided, including methods of using the folding walker. The folding walker includes two side members. Each of the side members includes a leg assembly; a handle assembly; and two first hinges coupled between the leg assembly and the handle assembly. The folding walker also includes a front member. The front member includes a horizontal member having a first portion and a second portion; and a second hinge coupled between a first end of the first portion and a first end the second portion, wherein a second end of the first portion is rotatably coupled to one side member and a second end of the second portion is rotatably coupled to the other side member.

    Abstract: An attachment to a walker that automatically positions a slip resistant surface under the foot of the user. Side-by-side slip resistant surfaces are attached to a walker. A retraction mechanism biases each of the slip resistant surfaces towards the walker. Upon stepping on one of the slip resistant surfaces and advancing the walker the retraction mechanism is extended. When taking a step removing pressure from the slip resistant surface, the slip resistant surface moves towards the walker positioned for receiving the user's foot during another step. Secure footing is obtained on wet or slippery surfaces preventing falls. The attachment is easily folded and closed to be positioned out of the way or removed for storage.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for rehabilitating a joint of a user is provided. The apparatus includes a modular frame configured to support the joint in a predefined position. A plurality of pulleys are adjustably coupled to one or more locations on the modular frame. A plurality of cords pass through the plurality of pulleys and couple to opposing ends of a boot. The boot surrounds a portion of the user distal to the joint. The plurality of cords permit a user to actuate the joint through a full range of motion. The user may selectively apply either a resistive force or an assistive force through the one or more cables to affect the joint through its range of motion.
