An improved walker includes an adjustable frame with angled portions that provide an ergonomic interface and enhanced stability for a user. The front of the walker includes a wishbone front support frame. Rather than incorporating multiple front legs extending from the top of the walker to the floor, the wishbone front support frame provides clearance on either side of a center front column. This clearance allows users to position, or maneuver, the walker close to adjacent objects. The handrail portions of the walker are pitched at a downward angle running in a direction from the rear to the front of the walker. This pitch moves the operating position of the user close to the front of walker providing a safe and stable operating position.

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.

A collapsible rolling walker that readily collapses for storage and/or transportation and that readily deploys for use.

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.

An upright wheeled walker with bilateral stabilizing wheel suspensions, and an automatic braking system integrated with obstacle avoidance systems, terrain sensors and user feedback controls. The walker provides user upper body weight support in a wheeled walker with a user safety system including a plurality of sensor, processor and control elements and an automatic braking system for avoiding unseen obstacles and automatic speed limiting on inclines.

A wire activated rim brake system for a rollator partly positioned inside a rollator frame is disclosed. The system compromises a brake housing positioned close to a wheel of the rollator and inside the rollator frame, wherein the housing compromises an entry opening and sliding surfaces oriented at a right angle to the rotational axis of the wheel. The system further compromises a brake assembly to be positioned in the housing compromising a sliding section adapted to the slide along the sliding surfaces inside the housing and a brake section extending at a right angle from the sliding section and protruding through the entry opening. The system also comprises a brake path on the inner rim of the rollator wheel which is parallel with the rotational axis of the wheel.

The present invention provides an assistive mobility device convertible between a rollator mode and a transport chair mode.

The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a walker comprising a portable lift toilet seat. Particularly, the walker is defined by a frame that supports a toilet seat, a cover, and a pair of actuators. The cover provides a privacy feature, hiding the toilet seat from view during normal operation of the walker. When needed, the cover can be lifted or folded away to allow the user to access the toilet seat. The toilet seat can then be lifted and/or lowered by actuators positioned on either side of the walker. In this way, a user can easily be positioned over a toilet to use the bathroom without the need for a caregiver to lift and lower him. The user can also be lifted after they are done using the bathroom to return to a standing position or sitting position.

A walker is disclosed. The walker includes a frame, a wheel, a brake selectively positionable in an engaged state, in which the brake resists wheel rotation, or a disengaged state, in which the brake does not resist wheel rotation, a brake actuator configured to place the brake in the engaged state or the disengaged state, a handle, a hand-position sensor configured to provide a first signal responsive to the handle being grasped in a walking grasp and to provide a second signal responsive to the handle being grasped in a standing/sitting grasp, and a processor configured to cause the brake actuator to place the brake in the disengaged state based at least in part on the first signal and to cause the brake actuator to place the brake in the engaged state based at least in part on the second signal. Related devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.

A stable walking apparatus can be used to allow the elderly, disabled, injured, or infirmed to move for day-to-day activities and exercise. The apparatus supports the individual at an upper body portion, such as under the arms of the user. This allows use of the arms and legs of the individual, such as better balance and move with the device, while also controlling aspects of the device. The support is height adjustable, and also includes a braking system to both slow down and stop the user-apparatus. The braking system can be used with limited extremity functionality for greater use of the apparatus by a wide range of individuals. Swiveling wheels provide for additional functionality to use the device for more purposes and in increased locations.
