The invention provides for the user who is unable to bend at the waist a means of retrieving their grabbing device or accessory. Typically patients who have walkers or medical appliances and are unable to bend at the waist use a grabbing device for picking items up off of the floor. When the user drops their grabbing device, they have no means for retrieving it.

The claimed invention provides a spring-loaded retractable cable/cord that can be attached to the grabbing device for easy retrieval. The spring-loaded retractable cable/cord can be integral with the accessory bag typical to that of walkers and other medical appliances or it can be retrofit into any suitable bag via adhesive and Velcro. It can also be attached to the walker or user via adhesive, Velcro, clip as well as any suitable attachment means as known by those in the art.

The present cane and grabber device can comprise a cane component and a grabber component. The grabber component can be housed within the cane component or can be unsheathed from the cane component and utilized to grab one or more objects. In an embodiment, the cane component can provide support to a user both while housing the grabber component and while the grabber component has been unsheathed. In an alternative embodiment, one or more grabber components can be housed by a walker or other similar support providing device.

A multifunction cane is an apparatus that doubles a walking aid and a headrest. If the apparatus is oriented in one direction, then the apparatus can be used as a walking aid. If the apparatus is oriented in the opposite direction, then the apparatus can be used as headrest. The apparatus includes a handle, a length-adjustable structural shaft, a rigid base, an interchangeable padding, and a grasping strap. The handle and the grasping strap allow the user to firmly grasp the apparatus. The length-adjustable structural shaft is the base structure for the apparatus and can be shortened or lengthened in order to accommodate the user's height preferences. The interchangeable padding is used to brace the ground while the apparatus is being used as a walking aid. The interchangeable padding is used to provide a cushion for the user's head while the apparatus is being used as a headrest.

Devices and systems are provided that comprise a reaching apparatus removably coupled with a mobility device such that an individual can couple, uncouple, and/or use the reaching apparatus while concurrently using the mobility device for stability and/or mobility assistance. Related devices, systems, and kits further comprise a sheath for coupling with a mobility device using one or more attachment means, the sheath configured to slidably receive at least part of the reaching apparatus therein. Furthermore, methods for using such devices and systems are provided, providing both retrofit options and otherwise.
