Disclosed is a fall-resistant control method for an intelligent rollator, an intelligent rollator and a controller. The intelligent rollator has a vehicle body, front wheels and/or rear wheels configured at the bottom of the vehicle body and driven by a motor. The fall-resistant control method includes: recording the current position of the motor as the initial position when the moving speed of the intelligent rollator exceeds a first threshold and the acceleration of the intelligent rollator exceeds a second threshold; determining a first braking torque according to the position change of the motor relative to the initial position, wherein the greater the position change, the greater the first braking torque; determining a second braking torque according to the moving speed and/or acceleration of the intelligent rollator, wherein the greater the moving speed and/or the acceleration, the greater the second braking torque; determining the fall-resistant braking torque according to the first braking torque and the second braking torque.

A lift transfer device for disabled people includes a wheeled chassis having a column with a bottom end attached to the chassis and a top end including an arm rest. A winch is provided that is supported by the chassis and/or the column. The winch includes a tow rope having a distal end and a hook disposed at the distal end of the tow rope. The tow rope runs through one or more guide rings disposed on the column and the arm rest. A harness is provided that is worn by a user of the lift transfer device. The hook on the tow rope may be connected to a pulling loop on the harness, the winch facilitates a lifting of the user as the tow rope is retracted by the winch and a lowering of the user as the tow rope is paidout by the winch.

Systems and methods for exerting forces on a body, including a support structure defining a space and a plurality of surface contacting units that are configured to exert force upon the body, such that the weight is distributed away from the primary weight bearing regions to non-weight bearing regions of the body, or vice versa, without exerting significant shear or frictional forces on surfaces of the body. The systems and methods may be used to exert forces to cause fluid shift in different compartments of the body. Applications include treatment of various disease conditions including pressure ulcers, heart failure, high blood pressure, preeclampsia, osteoporosis, injuries of spine and to slow microgravity-induced bone and muscle loss. The systems and methods may be used to simulate gravity, weightlessness or buoyancy, in rehabilitation medicine. The system may include a chair, bed, a wearable suit or an exoskeleton.

What is shown and described is a mobile walking and transport aid device (1) for supporting particularly persons with impaired walking ability, with a chassis (2) with wheels (3, 4) and with two outer lateral supports (5, 6), which are fixed to the chassis (2) as supporting elements for a user of the device (1). According to the invention, a provision is made that the lateral supports (5, 6) are attached to the chassis (2) such that they can be swiveled about a horizontal axis from a first, backwardly tilted position for pushing the walking and transport aid device (1) from behind and/or for supporting the user while walking inside and/or behind the walking and transport aid device (1) and/or for the user to sit on the walking and transport aid device (1) into at least one forwardly tilted position for pulling the walking and transport aid device (1) from the front.

A method may include obtaining current sensor information that corresponds to one or more sensors of a wheelchair and that indicates a current state of the wheelchair and its surrounding environment. The method may further include obtaining current situation information that indicates a current situation of a wheelchair and its corresponding user. In addition, the method may include determining current solution information that corresponds to a current solution to help navigate the current situation. The current solution information may be determined based on one or more of the following: the current situation information and the current sensor information. The method may additionally include implementing the current solution based on the current solution information.

A rollator having a first side frame and a second side frame; the first side frame comprising a first side frame intervening structural portion; the second rolling side frame comprising a second side frame intervening structural portion; a central platform having a first platform side and a second platform side; and first and second track mechanisms respectively coupling the first and second side portions to the first and second platform sides of the central platform; the first and second track mechanisms permitting independent movement of said first and second side frames relative to said central platform.

An electronic walking assistance device, has a cane portion, having surfaces for holding against arms and/or hands of a user; and an electromotive device, which automatically creates motion to follow a movement of the user, enabling walking assistance without lifting the handle portion or the electromotive device off the ground.

A body lightening system for at least partially supporting the weight of a user, the system including a structure having a frame and a motion system, the motion system driving the structure to follow the movements of the user, a holding system, the holding system including a holding mechanism, a hanger and a plurality of hanging cables, the plurality of hanging cables connecting the hanger to a harness to be worn by the user, a power system including a power source for powering the body lightening system, and a human machine interface, the human machine interface providing control over the motion of the motion system and the percentage of the user's weight supported by the holding system.

A device (1) that supports the mobility of a person with restricted mobility comprises a trolley (3) and a mast (4) attached to the trolley (3). The mast (4) comprises a backrest (6) and armrests (5) for receiving the person.

An improved walker has a detachable propulsion unit, which is attached to the walker by a platform member which extends forwardly from the propulsion unit, with an upwardly extending walker structure partially attached to the platform member. The user steps onto the propulsion unit while support on either side by the handles of the walker. The platform member is so attached to the propulsion unit as to allow a left section and a right section of the propulsion unit to be independently movable with respect to one another, thereby allowing operation of the propulsion unit. The propulsion unit may be a hover board or power board.
