A sit assist device (1) comprising a base (2) adapted to be supported by a seating surface, and a sitting platform (3) hingedly connected to the base (2) and movable between a raised position and a lowered position to assist a user to sit down onto and to stand up from the sitting platform (3). A primary biasing means (4) provides a primary resilient bias to resiliently bias the sitting platform (3) from the lowered position to the raised position over an operating range, thereby moving the sitting platform (3) from the lowered position to the raised position over the operating range as the user stands up from the sitting platform (3) and slowing the movement of the sitting platform (3) from the raised position to the lowered position over the operating range as the user sits down onto the sitting platform (3). A secondary biasing means (5) provides a secondary resilient bias to supplement the primary resilient bias over a portion of the operating range adjacent the lowered position.

Proposed is a wearable chair with a truss structure, the wearable chair including: an upper rod extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and connected to a wearer's thigh; a lower rod extending in a longitudinal direction thereof and connected to a lower leg of the wearer, the lower rod being coupled to a lower end part of the upper rod at an upper end part of the lower rod and being in contact with the ground at a lower end part of the lower rod when the wearer sits; and a support rod slidably coupled to the upper rod at an upper end part of the support rod and rotatably coupled to the lower rod at a lower end part of the support rod to support a compression force between the upper rod and the lower rod in a longitudinal direction of the support rod when the wearer sits.

Many persons that find it difficult to stand from a chair use powered lift chairs that lift the chair seat in an upward direction. These seats are generally one piece seats and offer only one departure angle that is not suitable for all persons. The adjustable angel chair seat allows the person to choose the best departure angle from the seat for the safest departure from the chair.

Proposed is a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, and more particularly to a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, of which a structure is concise and simple, and in which a footrest on which a trainee can put his/her foot has the minimum height to allow the trainee to easily enter and readily use the robot without any separate entry means for entry of the trainee and is placed at an entry side for the trainee to raise a gait training effect and reduce a collision risk.

The present disclosure relates to a tilt assembly (1) for a powered wheelchair (15), comprising: an elongated base member (3) provided with an axial channel, a lifting member (5) configured to be received by the base member (3) and to move rectilinearly in the channel, between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the base member (3), a tilt frame (7) pivotally connected to the lifting member (5), the tilt frame (7) being configured for mounting a seat assembly (21) thereto, and an actuator arm (9) pivotally connected to the base member (3) and to the tilt frame (7), the actuator arm (9) being configured to be actuated between a retracted actuator position and a fully extended actuator position, wherein the tilt frame (7) is configured to obtain a perpendicular orientation relative to a central axis (11) of the lifting member (5) when the lifting member (5) is in the retracted position and the actuator arm is in the retracted actuator position and to be inclined relative to the central axis (11) when the lifting member (5) is in an extended position and actuator arm is in the retracted actuator position, to thereby provide a tilt functionality.

A multi-cell inflatable jack includes a plurality of jack elements. Each of the plurality of jack elements includes a body having a predetermined perimeter shape and defining a perimeter chamber and a central chamber. A valve is coupled to the body and configured to provide air flow to one of the perimeter chamber or the central chamber. A plurality of flow control stringers are located between the first chamber portion and the second chamber portion and are configured to control an air flow rate into each of the perimeter chamber and the central chamber. At least one fastener is formed on the body and configured to attach the jack element to at least one additional jack element in a multi-cell stack.
