A foot for a medical mobility device includes an upper portion, a traction surface, and a cushion ring. The upper portion has an opening at a first end for receiving an end of a medical mobility device and an upper portion post extending from a second end away from the opening. The traction surface has a core element comprising a cylindrical post extending upwardly from the traction surface. The upper portion is secured atop the core element. The cylindrical post is adhered to the upper portion post thereby defining a space between the upper portion and the traction surface, and the cushion ring is positioned in the space.

Various features for improving the performance of crutches are provided. A crutch can flex at one or more locations or include composite material to provide energy storage and return to the user during ambulation. In some aspects, a crutch is provided that can propel the user forward during ambulation. The crutch can be hollow at one or more locations to allow for increased flexibility and narrower at one or more locations to enhance springiness of the crutch.

A shock-absorbing cane tip apparatus for user comfort and improved cane tip longevity includes a tip base having a base top side, a base bottom side, and a base perimeter. A tip sidewall is coupled to the tip base. The tip sidewall has a sidewall outer face, a sidewall inner face, and a sidewall top rim. The sidewall inner face defines a cane cavity to slidingly receive a tip end of a cane. A bottom plate is coupled to the tip base within the cane cavity. A compression spring is coupled to the bottom plate and is oriented perpendicular to the base top side. A top plate is coupled to the compression spring and engages a distal end of the tip end of the cane to compress the compression spring when weight is pushed onto the cane.

The new Shock Absorber Under Arm Adjustable Height Walking Crutches are standard aluminum adjustable height walking crutches modified with 4 coil springs added under the arm rest, one spring in each crutch pipe below the arm rest. Two per crutch 4 per pair of crutches, the springs are accommodated by a Pipe Spring Adapter which holds the springs in place and also allows the springs to move freely. The crutches are used exactly the same as standard aluminum adjustable height crutches but with the addition of the springs and pipe spring adapters the crutches now have a shock absorber effect under the arm rest. The springs actuate each time the user applies weight to the arm rest therefore alleviating the pain caused to the under arms by standard crutches.

An assistant apparatus for degenerative joint includes an apparatus main body, a first leg-lifting mechanism, and a second leg-lifting mechanism. The apparatus main body has an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section. The middle section is connected between the upper section and the lower section. The upper end of the upper section is provided with a supporting member. The lower end of the lower section is provided with a carrying member. The upper section is bendable relative to the middle section, and the middle section is bendable relative to the lower section. The upper section, the middle section, the lower section, the first leg-lifting mechanism, and the second leg-lifting mechanism each include an elastic buffering mechanism for providing elastic buffering effects.

A crutch includes an arm rest having an elbow end and a front end, the front end defining a front face having a first opening formed therein, and a bottom edge forming a second opening. The crutch has a handle extending outwardly from the front end of the arm rest, but not from the first or second openings. A leg is received into one of the first and second openings in a first configuration, and into the other of the first and second openings in a second configuration. The leg is selectively convertible between the first and second configuration.

A shock absorbing handle for a white cane for blind people or visually impaired, incorporates resilient members within its handle, primarily in the form of a spring located in the handle region of the cane, in order to cushion the impact when the lower tip of the cane encounters an obstruction. A length of resilient cord, such as a bungee cord, extends from the top of the handle of the cane, to the lower tip of its bottom most segment, so that when the cord is stretched, the various segments can be separated from their connecting ferrules, and contracted into a smaller size for packaging. The various segments can be stretched, through their resilient cord, and secured together, to form the lengthy white cane, having cushioning impact provided within its handle, to relieve stress upon the user, when obstructions are encountered during usage of the cane during its application.

A mobility aid tip including a resilient toe flexure having a first toe end and a second toe end. A resilient heel flexure having a front heel end and a bottom heel end wherein the vertical plane of the mobility aid tip is offset with the axis of the mobility aid and the first toe end is positioned forwardly from the axis of the mobility aid. The bottom heel end is positioned rearward from the axis of the mobility aid. A toe pad secures the front toe end of the toe flexure and a heel pad secures the bottom heel end of the heel flexure.
