A patient assisting system includes a frame having a sling assembly attachment point and a lifting arm which is movable relative to the frame and which includes a receptacle. When the sling assembly is attached to the attachment point and extends through the receptacle, a portion of the sling travels through the receptacle as the lifting arm moves relative to the frame. Another embodiment includes exactly one four bar linkage comprised of a frame having an attachment point for a sling assembly, a lifting arm having a receptacle, a lower cross arm and an upper cross arm. The lifting arm is adapted to be movable between a person-seated position and a person-standing position. The receptacle is located along the lifting arm so that motion of the lifting arm causes the receptacle to move along a curved path having a concave side which is person-facing.

It is possible to quickly and efficiently support a user with a limited lower limb motor function in a posture transition with a simplified configuration. A support mechanism that supports a posture transition includes a first link that does not change a posture, a second link that is rotatably coupled to the first link, and an actuator configured to rotate the second link with respect to the first link, in which, when a load on a connection part of the second link and the first link changes due to a change in an upper body posture of a user, based on a relative positional relationship between an ankle joint and a knee joint of the user in a direction orthogonal to a vertical direction in a sagittal plane of the user, the actuator drives the second link while changing a support moment on the user according to a relative positional relationship between the knee joint and an upper body centroid of the user, or a knee joint angle.

An assistive apparatus includes a base, a first arm provided on the base and configured to revolve around a horizontal first center axis, a second arm provided on the first arm and configured to revolve around a horizontal second center axis, a support member provided on the second arm and configured to support an upper half body of an assisted person, and a driving device configured to perform a cooperative operation of the first arm and the second arm. The first arm is configured to be located ahead of a knee bending position at which an upper thigh portion and a lower thigh portion of the assisted person bend in an initial state before execution of assistance of a standing operation.

The invention relates to the technical field of electric vehicles, and discloses a transformable electric vehicle. The transformable electric vehicle comprises a chassis, a rear wheel group, a front wheel group located in front of the rear wheel group, transverse retraction rods which can contract or stretch and are arranged transversely, and longitudinal retraction rods which can contract or stretch and are arranged longitudinally; rails are arranged on the lower end face of the chassis, and extend in the length direction of the chassis; one end of the transverse retraction rods is movably connected with the rails, and the other end of the transverse retraction rods is attached to the rear wheel group, the lower ends of the longitudinal retraction rods are fixed to the rear wheel group, and the upper ends of the longitudinal retraction rods are movably connected with the rails; a cushion unit and sliding rails are arranged on the upper end face of the chassis, and the lower end of the cushion unit is attached; the upper end of the cushion unit is movably connected with the sliding rails, and the cushion unit comprises a seat plate for drivers to sit; and when the upper end of the cushion unit is located at the lower parts of the sliding rails, the seat plate is arranged horizontally. The form of the electric vehicle can be switched among different modes according to the requirements of a driver, so that different requirements are met, and the driving experience and safety of the driver are improved.

A system for physical rehabilitation is disclosed. The system may comprise a plurality of motors configured to be coupled to a ceiling; a plurality of cable portions, wherein each cable portion is connected at a first end to a motor and connected at a second end to a connector element; and a controller in operative communication with the plurality of motors to move the connector element in relation to a staircase.

Personal transportation aid that can be converted easily between a wheelchair and a walker. The device has handles that can be pushed forward to switch from wheelchair mode to walker mode. Pushing the handles forward causes the seat bottom of the wheelchair to flip up, opening a space where the user can stand to use the walker; the front wheels of the wheelchair are also pushed forward. Pulling the handles backwards returns the device to its wheelchair configuration, with the seat bottom flipped down and the front wheels moved backwards. Simple mechanical linkages may be used to flip the seat bottom up and down, and to push the front wheels forward and backwards; therefore the device does not require a power source or actuators.

A transport apparatus has a mobile chassis, a lifting mechanism, two armpit supports structured and operated mirror-symmetrical to one another, and two seat assemblies. The lifting mechanism includes a lifting arm for assembling a chest rest and two lifting racks, and a linear actuator driving the lifting arm to pivot upward or downward. The armpit supports are assembled on the lifting racks and transversely extend toward a rear of the mobile chassis. The seat assemblies are assembled on the mobile chassis. Each of the seat assembly has a seat plate driven to rotate by a drive motor to form a seat. The weak person can be moved directly by the transport apparatus with voice command or with a remote control. Since the weak person is not moved by the care workers, the weak person can be moved in an easier and safer way.

Decompression table embodiments are described that provide body weight support distributed along the body by providing a lumbar support harness as well as separate foot and leg attachment elements, Other embodiments may either alone or in combination with body weight support elements may provide elements for placing the body in a pre-stretched configuration during decompression by curving the body support portion of the table and strategically adding controlled spacing from the cervical and lumbar areas to the table surface.

A patient mobility garment includes a flexible, laterally extending pelvic belt body having upper, lower, and opposite side borders, along with a plurality of spaced apart ribs placed in generally vertical directions substantially approaching or spanning the upper and lower borders; a plurality of loops vertically positioned with respect to one another about the ribs; a plurality of flexible, adjustable length girding straps horizontally oriented with respect to the pelvic belt body and configured to gird the pelvic belt body about a patient's pelvis area and bring the opposite side borders into conjunction or registry, each girding strap having a girding strap attaching member for fixation of the girding straps; a plurality of flexible, typically adjustable length shoulder straps; and a plurality of flexible, depending leg straps, each terminating in a fastener for engaging at least one of the vertically positioned loops. Busy nurses find it advantageous.
