A rollator is disclosed, including first and second upright members, each including handle portions, wheels, hinges disposed between the wheels and the handle portions, channels disposed along the upright members between the hinges and the wheels, and lateral hinges orthogonal to the hinges. First and second foldable support members having wheels are attached to the hinges. At least one lateral support member is disposed between and attached to the lateral hinges, and includes an intermediate hinge. Brake systems include brake lines communicating between brake controls and brakes. In a reversible storage configuration, the foldable support members are rotated to be at least partially disposed in the channels, and the lateral hinges and intermediate hinge rotate to collapse the lateral support member, bringing the upright members with the folded foldable support members adjacent to one another.

A fall prevention device configured to be coupled to a person and comprising a mechanical torso configured to be coupled to the person's torso and a mechanical structure configurable to be coupled to the mechanical torso from its first end. The mechanical structure and mechanical torso resist forces at least along one direction to maintain their posture relative to each other. In operation the second end of the mechanical structure is positioned behind the person and substantially close to the ground. When the second end of the mechanical structure contacts the ground, contact points of legs of the person on the ground and contact points of the second end of the mechanical structure outline a multi-sided polygon on the ground. If the vertical projection of the center of gravity of the person to the ground intersects the ground within the multi-sided polygon, the person and fall prevention device remain stable.

A personal cart and method for using the personal cart. The personal cart has a platform support frame. Wheels are rotatably connected to the platform support frame. Handles are also attached to the platform support frame. A rectangular platform is rigidly connected to the platform support frame. The platform has a raised railing extending upwards along the outer perimeter of the platform. In a preferred embodiment the platform support frame is foldable. Also, in a preferred embodiment a plurality of tote bags is placed on the platform. Each tote bag laterally supports another tote bag and the plurality of tote bags is also laterally supported by the raised railing.

A treatment system including a treatment device for treating a treatment area of a person's body is provided. The treatment device may include one or more treatment elements or treatment balls and a clamp or securement mechanism. The clamp or securement mechanism may include a first opposable portion and a second opposable portion, wherein at least one of the first opposable portion and the second opposable portion includes a receptacle configured to releasably hold a treatment element. The clamp or securement mechanism may be transitioned between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The treatment device may be used to apply pressure and a desired temperature to the treatment area, such as to apply pressure and a cold temperature to a portion of a person's ear to help treat ear injuries, which may help to reduce the likelihood of developing deformities (e.g., “cauliflower ear”).

A mannequin of a human torso adapted to retain otherwise handheld devices for simulation purposes is provided. The mannequin may have a plush shell covering filled with polymer stuffing except for a cavity therein, wherein the cavity communicates to a cavity opening defined by the shell covering. An elastic sleeve may be dimensioned and adapted to line the cavity yet protrude from the cavity opening, so that the sleeve opening is concomitant with the cavity opening. Operatively engaged along a peripheral portion of the sleeve, slightly inward for the sleeve opening, a peripheral drawstring adapted to selectively decrease the peripheral portion of the sleeve is disposed to removably retain the handheld device within the sleeve.

A sturdy portable massage roller that collapses flat. The roller includes an outer contact skin formed of a plurality of longitudinal stiffeners connected by longitudinally-extending hinge points, the contact skin defining an inner cavity. A collapsible support structure within the contact skin inner cavity is sized to contact and radially support the longitudinal stiffeners in the expanded shape of the contact skin, and is adapted to collapse so that the massage roller converts between a generally cylindrical expanded shape and a collapsed, flattened shape. The support structure may include a series of rigid discs that either pivot or are folded in half to convert the massage roller between its expanded and flat configurations.

A traction device for treating or alleviating back pain and/or sciatica. The traction device is designed to provide the user with a mechanism to pull their lower body, allowing for traction of the lower back. The traction device may also include mechanisms to orient the user's feet at different angle orientations, thus allowing traction to the user's hips, user's hips and back, or the user's back. The traction device may include an upper section designed to support a user's upper body, an intermediate section designed to support a user's mid-section, and a lower section designed to support a user's lower body.

An orthopedic rehabilitation device is provided having a base assembly. A mast assembly extends from the base assembly. A handle assembly is rotatably coupled to the mast assembly. A foot bracket assembly is rotatably coupled to the mast assembly. The foot bracket assembly is coupled to the handle assembly so that rotation of one of the handle assembly or the foot bracket assembly results in the rotation of the other of the handle assembly and the foot bracket assembly. A foot support assembly is coupled to the foot bracket assembly so that the foot support assembly rotates with the foot bracket assembly.

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.

An apparatus for converting a shower space into a steam shower space, by utilizing the existing hot water supply from the existing shower head and providing a means to contain and disperse the heat and steam with-in the containment apparatus. The apparatus for creating a steam shower space generally includes a removable and portable water resistant containment curtain for containing heat and steam, a diverter that alters the direction of hot water from the shower head while dispersing heat and affecting the flow of water vapor and hot air, a frame that supports the containment curtain, and mounts that secure th.e aforementioned to the shower space structure.
