Wheelchair apparatuses including usage features
A powered wheelchair apparatus includes a chair component, a power base component and a wheelchair control system. The wheelchair control system includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A display is communicatively coupled to the processor. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and display a message on the display based on the user instructions. The display is on a back of the chair component.
Motorized mount for seating system
The present disclosure illustrates a motorized mount with a plurality of degrees of freedom coupled to a seating system. The motorized mount assembly can include an attachment assembly configured to attach to a seating assembly. A vertical control assembly can be connected to the attachment assembly with an arm having a first end attached to vertical control assembly by a first hinge. A mounting assembly can be attached to a second end of the arm. The mounting assembly can configured to receive a personal computing device. A linear actuator may be attached to the vertical control assembly to raise and lower the arm and mounting assembly. A first motor can be configured to attach to the arm. A second motor can be configured to attach between the arm and the mounting assembly.
Robot system and method for controlling the same
Provided is a robot including a main body having a traveling wheel and a traveling motor for rotating the traveling wheel, a seating body disposed above the main body, a left projector disposed at a left side of the main body to scan a beam toward a left lower direction, a right projector disposed at a right side of the main body to scan a beam toward a right lower direction, and a processor for controlling the traveling motor, the left projector, and the right projector.
Actuators for patient mobility devices, patient healthcare devices and human prosthetics
An orthotic device is provided which includes a first structural element; a second structural element which is rotatably attached to the first structural element across a joint; a first rotary actuator which imparts rotational motion to the first structural element relative to the second structural element about a first axis; and a second rotary actuator which imparts rotational motion to the first structural element relative to the second structural element about a second axis. Each of the first and second rotary actuators is selected from the group consisting of parallel eccentric actuators and rotary actuators.
Patient support apparatus having a telescoping assembly
A patient support apparatus comprising a base, an intermediate frame arranged for movement relative to the base, a support deck disposed on the intermediate frame to provide support for a patient, and a telescoping assembly operatively attached to the intermediate frame. The telescoping assembly comprises a support movable between a collapsed position and an extended position, a lock operable to releasably hold the support in the extended position, and an accessory manually movable by a user relative to the support between a stowed position and a use position. The accessory comprises a deactivator operable to deactivate the lock remotely from the user in response to the user manually moving the accessory relative to the support toward the stowed position thereby enabling movement of the support from the extended position to the collapsed position.
Wheelchair mounting systems and methods of using the same
A system includes an adapter and a lock. The adapter includes a flexible collar and an attachment structure. The flexible collar is configured to at least partially surround a portion of the wheelchair such that the flexible collar engages the portion of the wheelchair and aids in preventing rotation of the adapter relative to the portion of the wheelchair. The attachment structure has a first arm attached to and extending from the flexible collar and a second arm attached to and extending from the flexible collar. The lock includes a body and a mounting platform attached thereto. The body of the lock is configured to engage the attachment structure to aid in maintaining the flexible collar in a closed position. The mounting platform has one or more coupling mechanisms attached thereto for use in removably mounting one or more accessories to the system.

Mobility assistance device
A mobility assistance apparatus includes first and second frames positioned on left and right sides of a user; a hinge arm mechanism coupled to the first and second frames; and a pivotable securing unit or a walking seat coupled to the frames to transfer at least a portion of the user's body weight from the legs and to transfer weight through the user's hip or pelvis to the first and second frame enabling the user to stand or work for an extended period without requiring the user's arms to hold the frame.
Wheelchair accessory apparatus
A wheelchair accessory apparatus is disclosed. The wheelchair accessory apparatus includes an ambulatory assistive device retaining member removably attachable to the frame of a wheelchair and an ambulatory assistive device support member removably attachable to the footrest of a wheelchair. The ambulatory assistive device retaining member includes a first leg, a second leg, and an elongated stem. The first leg and the second leg join and define a portal therebetween to receive an ambulatory assistive device therethrough. The ambulatory assistive device support member includes a body comprising a cup sized to removably receive a crutch tip. When the ambulatory assistive retaining member and the ambulatory assistive device support member are both attached to the wheelchair, the portal and the cup align to receive and sustain an ambulatory assistive device therein for hands-free transportation of the ambulatory assistive device while utilizing a wheelchair.
