The invention provides a brake assembly for a module. The module is mountable to a pole having a track. The brake assembly is connectable to the module and has two brake members configured to fit at least partly adjacent each other on the track. The brake assembly also has a biasing member for urging the brake members apart such that at least one brake member engages the track to resist falling of the module. A pole is also provided, having an elongate shaft with the track, the module and the brake assembly of the invention. A flexible rope is connectable to the brake assembly for moving the brake assembly along the track.

Described herein is a system, method of use and Self Retracting Lifeline (SRL) apparatus using a system that governs a dynamic response between members causing a halt in relative motion between the members. Magnetic interactions, eddy current drag forces and centrifugal and/or inertial forces may provide various mechanisms of governing movement.

A differential assembly provided with a power distribution unit includes a first housing, an output shaft, a shaft, and a torque limiter. The first housing defines a biasing member bore and a brake bore. The output shaft extends at least partially through the first housing. The shaft is disposed about the output shaft and extends between a first shaft end that is connected to a differential unit and a second shaft end. The torque limiter is disposed within the first housing and is arranged to selectively inhibit rotation of at least one of the output shaft and the shaft.

The present invention provides a safety training device capable of being attached to an existing front-wheeled walker. The safety training device a modified ski unit, a braking mechanism, a brake cable and hose. When improper transfer techniques are utilized by a patient, the modified ski unit engages the brake and cable hose to exert a force to the braking mechanism. The braking mechanism activates a braking member on the wheel of the walker, halting further movement of the patient and walker. Simultaneously, a striking member of the braking mechanism makes contact with the frame of the walker, producing an audible cue, alerting the patient and any healthcare professionals present that improper technique is being used in a transfer.
