An exercise apparatus that includes a handle frame and a base frame.

A mattress can be adapted to an integrated bed that includes a main bed unit, and a wheelchair unit that is separable from the main bed unit and has a wheelchair back bottom, a wheelchair hip bottom and a wheelchair foot bottom. The mattress includes a first protrusion configured to be fastened to a back-section hole in the wheelchair back bottom, a fastener configured to be fastened to the wheelchair hip bottom, and a second protrusion configured to be fastened to a foot-section hole in the wheelchair foot bottom.

An apparatus for transporting a patient. The apparatus includes a supporting portion to grasp part of the body of a patient. A footboard unit is provided upon which the patient is able to stand when supported by the supporting portion, the footboard unit movable along a floor by movable means. A frame is connected between the footboard unit and the supporting portion. The apparatus is configured so that the footboard unit is able to move in proximity to a bed upon which the patient is lying, whereat the supporting portion can grasp the part of the body of the patient, wherein the frame and the supporting portion are able to support the patient in transitioning from a lying position on the bed to a standing position adjacent the bed as the footboard unit is moved relative to the bed.

According to a patient bed system including a defecation device having an improved piping structure, presented in the present invention, a defecation device is integrally provided in a patient bed, an excrement discharge pipe communicating with a discharge hole at the lower part of a bedpan body is formed by a roundedly inclined piping structure in which excrement flows down by its own weight, an opened end of the excrement discharge pipe can be opened and closed in order to discharge excrement by means of the simple operation of a handle part including an opening and closing member, and an excrement collection polybag in which excrement collection plastic is embedded so as to be discharged in order to facilitate the collection of excrement discharged by a patient is formed so as to be fastened to the excrement discharge pipe, such that, compared with a conventional excrement device, the present invention facilitates cleaning and can increase the convenience of simple operation with one hand.

A bed assist bar includes an undercarriage and a mid-frame attached to the undercarriage. A handle bar is selectively pivotable, using a twist-lock mechanism sub-assembly, between a first position locking the handle bar in a substantially parallel orientation relative to the mid-frame and a second position locking the handle bar being in a substantially orthogonal orientation relative to the mid-frame.

A movable body control system includes: a movable body on which a user is capable of riding; a support device that supports a body of the user in a lying posture; a body detection device that detects a state of the user supported by the support device; a periphery monitor device that monitors a periphery of the support device; and a determination part that determines whether or not the movable body is capable of approaching the support device based on a detection result of the periphery monitor device. In the movable body control system, in a case where the body detection device detects that the user is in a predetermined state and the determination part determines that the movable body is capable of approaching the support device, the movable body approaches the support device.

A bed platform assembly, which may be used, for example, within hospitals, nursing homes, senior care or specialized care facilities, or the like, comprises a plurality of different, individually controlled pivotally or otherwise movable sections so as to automatically assist a person to be moved from a supine position to sitting and standing positions such that the person can be assisted by hospital, nursing home, or other facility staff or personnel to participate in, for example, ambulatory or physical therapy sessions as may be needed or required such that the person can heal or recover from an accident, surgery, or the like. Conversely, the bed platform assembly can be operated in a reverse mode so as to automatically assist the person to be moved from standing and sitting positions back to the supine position.
