A removable toilet seat system for a walker, including a seat portion removably connected to at least a portion of the walker to facilitate a user being disposed thereupon, and at least one seat-holding tab rotatably disposed on at least a portion of the walker to move from retracted in a first position to at least partially extracted in a second position, such that the seat portion is prevented from falling in response to a bottom surface of the seat portion contacting the at least one seat-holding tab.

Two-in-one walking supports and methods of using the walking support. The walking supports include first and second shaft portions and a handle assembly that has first and second handles. A latching mechanism is incorporated into the first and second handles and is configured to releasably couple the first and second handles to form the handle assembly and a single walking support configuration with the first and second shaft potions abutting one another and being configured to decouple the first and second handles and separate the first and second shaft portions to form a two-piece walking support configuration.

A collapsible travel crutch is defined by an elongated crutch frame. The elongated crutch frame includes an upper portion, a medial portion, and a lower portion. The upper portion has a support member. The lower portion has a ground member. The upper portion is attached to the medial portion, while the medial portion is attached to the lower portion. The collapsible travel crutch is movable between an active configuration and a storage configuration.

A soft terrain walking assist device and foot for the same is disclosed. The walking assist device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A handle is defined at the proximal end. A foot is attached to the distal end. The foot formed as a rounded plate having a coupling on a top surface of the rounded plate. A plurality of downwardly protruding tabs disposed in a spaced apart relation about a peripheral edge of the rounded plate. The tabs are configured to penetrate a soft terrain in a ground surface and contain a portion of the soft terrain within a containment area defined between the bottom surface and an inner face of each of the plurality of downwardly protruding tabs. The present invention allows users with a stability or strength impediment to enjoy peaceful walks on the beach while providing added stability.

An ambulatory aid, such as a crutch, including a pair of support members connected by a load bearing handle member, and terminating at a first end with a top axilla-conforming member, and a second end with a foot piece. The crutch is used as a straight arm crutch, in which a user's weight is distributed in the hand to keep the arm straight, while preventing any load on the shoulder girdles. The crutches are configured to fit close to the body, to centralize the base of support, and keep the center of gravity lower, thereby keeping the body aligned as designed, and keeping the pectoral and pelvic girdles aligned. Proper body alignment during use results in greater stability and equilibrium of the user compared to traditional “tri-pod” creating crutches.

An adjustable length crutch including at least one support portion to support at least a portion of the weight of a user, a leg portion associated with the at least one support portion and having a foot adapted to abut the ground in use to balance the user and a length adjustment mechanism to adjust the separation between the at least one support portion and the foot to adjust the effective length of the crutch.

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 device for providing a storage mechanism to an assistive device is presented. The assistive device has a handle, a shaft and a ferrule. The assistive device provides the means for transferring of weight from a person to the ferrule. The storage mechanism, has a frame, a plurality of sides, a bottom and a top. The storage mechanism provides an area storing items while using the assistive device. The device has a coupling means that has a first clip and a second clip. The first clip is coupled to the second clip. Further, the first clip is securely coupled to the assistive device and the second clip is securely coupled to the storage mechanism. The storage mechanism may have a strap, preferably Velcro, that can be used to securely couple the bottom of the storage mechanism to the shaft of the assistive device.

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.
