A mobility assistance apparatus includes first and second frames positioned on left and right sides of a user; a hinge arm mechanism coupled to the first and second frames; and a securing unit or a walking seat coupled to the frames to transfer at least a portion of the user's body weight from the legs and to transfer weight through the user's hip or pelvis to the first and second frame enabling the user to stand or work for an extended period without requiring the user's arms to hold the frame.

A support device includes a base portion, a leg coupled to the base portion, the leg including an upper segment, a central segment pivotally coupled to the upper segment at a front wheel, a lower segment pivotally coupled to the central segment, a rear wheel coupled to the lower segment, and an engagement member coupled to the lower segment, where the engagement member is positionable between a disengaged position, in which at least a portion of the engagement member is positioned above the rear wheel, and an engaged position, in which at least a portion of the engagement member is positioned at or below the rear wheel.

A walking aid is provided, including a frame body, a connecting assembly and two first adjusting assemblies. The frame body includes two first legs which are parallel to each other and two second legs which are parallel to each other. The connecting assembly includes two first cross bars and two second cross bars, each said first cross bar is further pivoted to one of the two second legs, and the two second cross bars are respectively pivoted to and between one of the two first legs and one of the two second legs. Each said first adjusting assembly includes a first abutting assembly and a second abutting assembly, and each said first abutting assembly is disposed on one of the two first legs and movable to be located in a first position or a second position.

A walking assist device has a frame, a plurality of wheels, drive units, a battery, and a drive control unit that controls the drive units. The walking assist device also has: a pair of right and left movable handles that are grasped by a user and movable back and forth with respect to the frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of the user; handle guide units provided on the frame to guide the movable handles in a movable range that matches the arm swing performed during walk of the user; and a grasp portion state detection unit that detects the state of the movable handles. The drive control unit controls the travel speed of the walking assist device by controlling the drive units on the basis of the state of the movable handles which is detected using the grasp portion state detection unit.

An electric walking aid and control method thereof are disclosed. A location of the electric walking aid, and a distance between the electric walking aid and the user, are dynamically controlled and adjusted to provide the user with static and dynamic support function, so as to support the user under static and dynamic situation of interaction between walk and stand, during the walking training process.

There is provided a movement assistance robot in which a single type of movement assistance robot can take care of multiple users having different physical abilities. A movement assistance robot 20 includes a robot arm unit 22 that is disposed in a base 21 traveling using drive wheels driven by a drive source, that includes multiple arms which are mutually and relatively movable by a drive unit, and that is configured to be transformable into multiple form types respectively coping with multiple movement postures (standing-upright walking assistance mode, hand support walking assistance mode, elbow support walking assistance mode, standing-upright riding movement mode, and seat riding movement mode) of a care receiver M1, a holding unit 23 that is disposed in a distal end portion of the robot arm unit 22 so as to support a care receiver, a selective operation unit that selects one form type from the multiple form types, and a transformation control unit that drives the drive unit and transforms the robot arm unit into a form type selected by the selective operation unit.

Wireless sensor network motes and radar & sensor-based systems receive sensed data, compare it to a predetermined standard and generate a signal to deploy a corresponding response.

The present invention relates to a self propelled walker enabling a safe and a stable walker which moves with the user and does not compromise stability. The present invention of a self propelled walker provides wheels on all four contact points to the ground. The wheels are motorized and locking, so the user does not have to exert energy to propel the walker forward. The motors are connected to a touch screen control device and a motion sensor. The motion sensor detects the movement speed of the user to keep the walker in proper position while the user is walking. When being leaned on heavily the wheels lock, providing a stable support device.

The electric vehicle includes a moving base in which a front base with front wheels and a rear base with rear wheels are coupled to be extendable in a front-rear direction of a vehicle, an upper frame in which upper ends of a right and left pair of frames provided upward from both right and left side portions of the rear base are coupled by an upper end frame extending in a vehicle width direction, a seat configured to be movable between a seating position and a folded position, a seat operating part operated by a user seated at the seat, a rear operating part operated by the user in a standing and walking attitude from behind the seat, a rear cover frame extending in the vehicle width direction, wherein an article accommodation portion is formed between the upper end frame and the rear cover frame.

A system is disclosed which includes a walking assistance robot for assisting a smooth start of a user's action after standing up from a chair. A system according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a walking assistance robot and an automatic elevation chair that moves a seating surface where a user sits. The automatic elevation chair detects a consciousness level of the user and transmits consciousness level information on the detected consciousness level of the user to the walking assistance robot via the network. The walking assistance robot, including a body and a rotor that moves the walking assistance robot, receives the consciousness level information via the network and controls resistance force to rotation of the rotor based on the received consciousness level information.
