A wheelchair accessory apparatus is disclosed. The wheelchair accessory apparatus includes an ambulatory assistive device retaining member removably attachable to the frame of a wheelchair and an ambulatory assistive device support member removably attachable to the footrest of a wheelchair. The ambulatory assistive device retaining member includes a first leg, a second leg, and an elongated stem. The first leg and the second leg join and define a portal therebetween to receive an ambulatory assistive device therethrough. The ambulatory assistive device support member includes a body comprising a cup sized to removably receive a crutch tip. When the ambulatory assistive retaining member and the ambulatory assistive device support member are both attached to the wheelchair, the portal and the cup align to receive and sustain an ambulatory assistive device therein for hands-free transportation of the ambulatory assistive device while utilizing a wheelchair.

Disclosed is a collapsible walker that is movable between an upright and a collapsed position. The walker includes a visible indication that the walker is in the upright position. The indicator device includes a visual indicator affixed to the collapsible walker, wherein the visual indicator includes a first section and a second section, and a window disposed on the body. The walker is configured such that when the walker is in the upright position the first section of the visual indicator is visible via the window, and when the walker is not in the upright position at least a portion of the second section of the visual indicator is visible via the window, the visibility of at least a portion of the second section signifying that the walker is not ready for use.

A walker adapted for attachment to a wheelchair may be used to assist a user with walking while retaining the wheelchair in close proximity behind the user for use when the user needs to sit. The walker may be removably attached to the frame of the wheelchair for easy exchange of use from one wheelchair to another. A pivotable, removably attachable gate between two lateral frame members may allow for the walker to be manipulated from a walking position to a stored position. The gate may include an extendable width to allow for use with wheelchairs of different widths. A frame of the walker may be extendably attached to the wheelchair, thereby allowing the user to extend and retract the walker between the walking position and the stored position.

A non-slip self-supporting orthopedic device includes: an upper disk slidably engaged with the rod and externally provided with a hinge; a lower disk, connected with the orthopedic device allowing the elastomeric foot to project downward, and externally provided with a hinge; and arms with upper element, lower element and spring adapted to hold the arm in folded configuration. The movable mechanism can take an enlarged configuration, in which the upper disk contacts the lower disk and the arms are folded. In an elongated configuration, the arms are in axial configuration following the pressing of a button connected to a kinematic mechanism causing the arms to take the axial configuration. The reversible connection system allows the reversible disconnection of the lower elements of the arms preselected by the hinge, determining the lifting of the entire arm in a vertical position by rotation around the hinge.

A free-standing balancing apparatus is disclosed, which is useful for providing increased balance, proper support, and variable levels of stability to a user engaged in various types of physical activities. The apparatus comprises an elongated body that is adjustable in height, a handle near the top of the apparatus, and a stabilizing section that can be positioned and configured to contact the exercise surface as needed with varying levels of stabilization. Also disclosed are methods of using the free-standing balancing apparatus.

The indicator device includes a visual indicator affixed to the collapsible walker, wherein the visual indicator includes a first section and a second section, and a window disposed on the body. The walker is configured such that when the walker is in the upright position the first section of the visual indicator is visible via the window, and when the walker is not in the upright position at least a portion of the second section of the visual indicator is visible via the window, the visibility of at least a portion of the second section signifying that the walker is not ready for use.

A scooter comprising a collapsible frame pivotally connected to a head stock assembly. A leg support is mounted on the frame. The head stock assembly comprises a handle bar stem having a wheel assembly attached at its lower end. There is a second wheel assembly attached to the frame assembly. The frame is collapsible to allow the scooter to move from an expanded, use position to a folded or collapsed position for storage.

A crutch (102) for supporting a leg of a user is described. The crutch comprises a handle (112), a base portion (116) having plurality of legs (114) that define a footprint when contacting the ground, and a main rod (123) connecting the handle and the base portion. The base portion (116) is moveable to alter the length of the crutch (102) from a first configuration to a second configuration, and wherein in the first configuration the handle (112) is positioned at a first distance from the base portion (116) for gripping by an ambulatory user and in the second configuration the handle (112) is positioned at a second, shorter, distance from the base portion (116) for resting a foot of a sitting user; and wherein the base portion (116) provides a smaller footprint in the first configuration than in the second configuration.

A single-tube crutch (100) includes an upper leg (101) and a lower leg (301). The lower leg (301) can be fully insertable into a first end of the upper leg such that only a slip-resistant tip (102) is exposed. The single-tube crutch can include an underarm support (104) coupled to a second end of the upper leg opposite the first end. A grip assembly (105) translates along the upper leg between a usage position and a stowed position.
