The invention relates to a postural support bracket for attaching to at least one postural support. The bracket is adapted to allow the postural support to adopt a variety of different positions, including positions in which the postural support is tilted. In one embodiment, the postural support bracket comprises a hinged region that when attached to one or more postural supports, allows the postural support to adopt a variety of different angles.

An assisting device provide with: a movable base on which a care receiver rides; a raising and lowering member supported on the base to be movable in an up-down direction; a raising and lowering drive section configured to drive the raising and lowering member up and down; an oscillating member supported on the raising and lowering member to be capable of oscillating; an oscillating drive section configured to drive the oscillating of the oscillating member; a holding member supported on the oscillating member to be freely tiltable, and configured to hold an upper body of the care receiver; a first handle provided on the oscillating member; and a second handle provided on the holding member, and configured to tilt together with the holding member. Accordingly, practicality is improved with regard to safe moving operation of the assisting device and safe free tilting of the holding member.

A transport apparatus for weak person has a mobile chassis for transporting the weak person, a powered lifting mechanism and a seating assembly assembled on the mobile chassis. The lifting mechanism has a lifting arm connected to be driven to pivot upward or downward by an actuator, and an armpit supporting device assembled on an upper end of the lifting arm. The seating assembly has a seat supporting mechanism, and two seat plates mounted on the left and right seating arms of the seat supporting mechanism and are connected to and driven by two driving assemblies respectively to form a seat for the weak person to sit thereon.

Disclosed is a low profile rolling support assembly useful for supporting loads above a supporting surface where at least one end of the rolling support assembly is positionable beneath a structure having minimal clearance above the supporting surface. The rolling support assembly includes a load bearing member and a caster assembly containing a wheel where the load bearing member extends laterally away from the caster assembly at substantially the same height or less as the caster assembly.

A robot includes a motion mechanism capable of operating in accordance with each of a first motion pattern for supporting a user with a first motion representing a standing-up motion and a second motion pattern for supporting a user with a second motion representing a sitting-down motion, a battery that supplies electric energy to the motion mechanism, a control unit that determines a multiple-motion availability index indicating the availability of an operation in accordance with a multiple-motion pattern including the first and second motion patterns on the basis of the battery level and the amounts of energy charge in the battery required for the operations performed by the motion mechanism in accordance with the first and second motion patterns if the control unit detects that the battery level is a first threshold value or lower, and a presentation unit that presents the multiple-motion availability index determined by the control unit.

The decompression chair will allow a user to help straighten and support their back for pain relief while they sit. The decompression chair carefully stretches and aligns the body by pulling back the shoulders, supporting the lumbar region, holding the neck and lower legs and raising the upper back. The decompression chair of the present invention has an adjustable back rest for optimal angles and collapses for easy storage at home. Adjustable straps, back supports and foot pads ensure an optimal fit.

A walker device for lifting and supporting a body of a person is provided. The walker device includes a structure having a first side member and a second side member, the first side member and the second side member are configured to be disposed on a vertical surface and extend upwards, and a top member coupling the first and second side member to one another at a top portion thereof, such that at least a bottom portion of the first side member is disposed at distance from a bottom portion of the second side member. The walker device further includes a lift coupled to the top portion and having a gripping member disposed between the first and second side members and configured to be displaced up and down by the lift.

An assistance apparatus (1) includes: a base (2); a support arm section (3) that can support a part of the body of the care receiver and that is provided to the base and can perform motion with respect to the standing direction for causing the care receiver to stand or the seating direction for causing the care receiver to be seated; an actuator (5) that is connected to the base and the support arm section; and a buffer mechanism (7) that is disposed at one of members from the base to the support arm section coupled via the actuator or is disposed between members connected to each other and that absorbs at least a part of a drive force of the actuator when an external force in the standing direction is applied by drive of the actuator to the support arm section performing motion toward the seating direction.

An assisting device provide with: a movable base on which a care receiver rides; a raising and lowering member supported on the base to be movable in an up-down direction; a raising and lowering drive section configured to drive the raising and lowering member up and down; an oscillating member supported on the raising and lowering member to be capable of oscillating; an oscillating drive section configured to drive the oscillating of the oscillating member; a holding member supported on the oscillating member to be freely tiltable, and configured to hold an upper body of the care receiver; a first handle provided on the oscillating member; and a second handle provided on the holding member, and configured to tilt together with the holding member. Accordingly, practicality is improved with regard to safe moving operation of the assisting device and safe free tilting of the holding member.
