In a walking assist chair, a lifting seat is movable between a first position in which the lifting seat is arranged to form a part of a seat of a wheelchair and a second position that is away from the ground compared to the first position. A receding seat is movable between a third position in which the receding seat is arranged adjacent to the lifting seat arranged in the first position so as to form a part of the seat of the wheelchair and a fourth position in which the receding seat is separated from the lifting seat in the second position. The walking assist chair functions as a wheelchair with a seat on which a user can sit. The walking assist chair functions in a second form as a walking assist apparatus that can support the user in a standing posture.

Disclosed herein is a footplate assembly for monitoring foot position in real time, as a wheelchair is driven. Optionally, the footplate assembly can use an array of force-sensing resistors and infrared distance sensors to detect the pressure and location of the foot within the immediate confines of the footplate. The footplate assembly can be provided as an overlay to an existing wheelchair footplate structure, or the footplate assembly can be integrated into or replace an existing wheelchair footplate structure.

A plurality of controls is coupled to the control housing and is configured to control the motorized personal transport. A charging means is coupled to the control housing. The charging means is configured to be in operational communication with a battery of the motorized personal and to charge a plurality of personal electronic devices.

The invention generally relates to a power operated lift chair. The power operated lift chair includes a chair assembly, a support assembly and a lifting assembly. The chair assembly includes a vertical back support, a back cushion attached to the vertical back support, a horizontal seat support and a seat cushion attached to the horizontal seat support. The support assembly includes a horizontal beam, a vertical guide post extending upward from the horizontal beam, a guide bracket connected to the chair assembly, at least one horizontal support member extending outward perpendicularly from the horizontal beam and a support platform. The lifting assembly includes a lifting rod positioned on the support platform and a locking collar connected to the lifting rod and the guide bracket. The lifting rod is configured to rotate to lift and lower the chair assembly.

The invention is a control apparatus for a personal vehicle, in particular for wheelchair (10), the control apparatus comprising: a first motion sensing unit (11) adapted for being mounted on a body part and for determining orientation with respect to an external frame of reference, a second motion sensing unit (12) adapted for being mounted on the personal vehicle and for determining orientation with respect to the same external frame of reference, and a processing unit (13) adapted for outputting an inertial control signal corresponding to a relative orientation of the first motion sensing unit (11) and of the second motion sensing unit (12) determined on the basis of a first orientation supplied by the first motion sensing unit (11) and of a second orientation supplied by the second motion sensing unit (12). The invention is furthermore a personal vehicle provided with the control apparatus, and a control method therefore.

A robotic operating table according to one or more embodiments may include: a table on which to place a patient; a robotic arm including a plurality of joints, and including a first end supported on a base fixed to a floor, and a second end supporting the table; an operation device including: a move operation receiving unit that receives, from a user, a move operation to move the table, and a register operation receiving unit that receives, from a user, a register operation to register a position of a movement destination of the table and a movement-destination set operation; a memory; and a controller that causes the robotic arm to move the table based on the move operation received by the move operation receiving unit.

A robotic operating table according to one or more embodiments may include: a patient placement table; a robotic arm comprising a plurality of joints, and having a first end supported on a base and a second end supporting the table; and an operation device comprising a preset position registration setting unit that registers an anesthetization position, a surgical operation position, and an imaging position and sets one of the registered anesthetization, surgical operation, and imaging positions as a movement destination of the table, and a move-operation receiving unit that receives, from a user, a move operation to move the table. When the move-operation receiving unit is operated while one of the registered anesthetization, surgical operation, and imaging positions is set as the movement destination of the table, the robotic arm may move the table to the set one of the registered anesthetization, surgical operation, and imaging positions.

An adjustable seat comfort wheelchair for maximizing comfort and convenience includes a chair base, a chair seat with a chair back, a headrest, a pair of armrests, a seat bottom, and a footrest. An electric drive train is coupled to the chair base and comprises: a battery compartment housing a rechargeable battery, a motor that is in operational communication with the rechargeable battery, a drive chain coupled to the motor, a pair of rear wheels that are driven by the motor coupled to the drive chain, a steering linkage, a pair of front wheels, a steering actuator, a control module, a lift piston, and a control stick that is in operational communication with the control module to operate the motor, the steering actuator, and the lift piston. The lift piston lifts the seat bottom to a lifted position to assist the user in standing.

A wheelchair can comprise a frame and a plurality of wheels rotatably attached to the frame, and a motor coupled to the frame. A power source can be configured to power the motor. A drive shaft can be coupled to the motor. A first sprocket can be coupled to the drive shaft. A second sprocket can be configured to be rotationally fixed to a wheel of the plurality of wheels. A drive belt or chain can extend between the first sprocket and the second sprocket. An input device can be configured to receive an input from an operator and, in response to receiving the input, cause the motor to rotate.
