Disclosed is a toilet chair (1) comprising a chair back (2) including a head part (3) and a bottom part (4) and a seat (5) comprising a front part (6) and a rear part (8), wherein the seat (5) further comprises a toilet opening (7) through which a user may go to the toilet. The bottom part (4) and the rear part (8) are arranged next to each other and the bottom part (4) is arranged to be displaceable outwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1) and the rear part (8) is arranged to be displaceable upwards in a direction towards the front of the chair (1). Methods for aiding a person in getting undressed or dressed by means of a toilet chair (1) and use of a toilet chair (1) is also disclosed.

A knee joint rehabilitation apparatus for a wheelchair includes a rehabilitation apparatus frame having a height corresponding to a length of each of legs of a patient sitting on the wheelchair; an upper leg support disposed at an upper end of the rehabilitation apparatus frame and supporting upper legs of the patient thereon while the patient is sitting on the wheelchair; a lower leg support pivotably connected to the upper leg support, wherein the lower legs of the patient are seated and supported on the lower leg support; and an exercise control unit disposed on the rehabilitation apparatus frame and configured to allow the lower leg support to pivot around a connection portion between the lower leg support and the upper leg support such that the patient performs rehabilitation exercise of the knee joint thereof while sitting on the wheelchair.

The present invention relates to a wheelchair footrest 1, comprising a continuous foot support 10 or two separate foot supports 10 for supporting the feet of a user; and at least one lighting means 20; wherein said lighting means 20 is fixedly arranged on at least one of said foot supports 10 to illuminate at least a floor area 40 on a front side 102 of said wheelchair 100; and the lighting means 20 comprises an LED strip which is fixedly arranged on the underside 12 of the at least one foot support 10, and wherein the LED strip has a length BL which extends over at least 50% of the width B of the at least one foot support 10. The present invention relates also to a wheelchair 100 comprising a corresponding wheelchair footrest 1.

A support assembly includes a fixable portion and a rotatable portion. The fixable portion is adapted to be fixedly mounted to a wheelchair and includes a shaft having a keyway formed therein that is supported by one or more mounts. The rotatable portion is received on the shaft and is in selective locked engagement therewith. The rotatable portion includes a bracket body with an opening into which the shaft of the fixable portion is received and a key member providing a key. The key member is supported by the bracket body and is movable in linear translation between an engaged position in which the key is engaged with the keyway to lock a rotational orientation of the bracket body relative to the shaft and a disengaged position in which the key is disengaged from the keyway permitting the rotatable portion to rotate relative to the fixable portion.

A medical chair includes a base, a seat, and a leg rest pivotally mounted relative to the seat and adapted to move between an extended position and a retracted position. The chair further includes a first actuator for tilting the seat with respect to the base, a second actuator for lifting the seat with respect to the base, and a leg rest actuator adapted to move the leg rest. The chair also includes a controller adapted to control the first and second actuators to move the seat between a first position and a second position such that the seat is both lifted and tilted at the same time as the seat moves from the first position to the second position, and wherein the controller is adapted to control the leg rest actuator such that the leg rest maintains a substantially constant orientation with respect to the floor.

A convertible transport system including a seat portion, a back support portion, and a pivoting mechanism coupled to the seat portion and to the back support portion. The pivoting mechanism is configured to adjust and lock the back support portion relative to the seat portion, the pivoting mechanism having three operative states: a free pivoting state allowing the back support portion to pivot relative to the seat portion about an axis; a ratcheting state allowing the back support portion to only pivot toward the seat portion about the axis; and a locking state in which the pivoting mechanism is locked to thereby prevent a pivoting movement of the back support portion relative to the seat portion.

The present disclosure includes a wheelchair configured to reposition an occupant between a lowered and a raised position. The wheelchair can include a frame, a seat moveable relative to the frame, a drive wheel, one or more pairs of arm assemblies, and one or more sensors. The arm assembly includes a wheel configured to move from a first spatial location when the wheelchair is operating on flat, level ground to a second spatial location that is different than the first spatial location. Arm limiters can selectively engage the arm assembly based on at least one of a seat position, position of the arm assembly, and surface conditions of ground surface. The arm limiters can limit the range of motion of the arm assembly and sometimes other operational aspects of the chair.

The present invention relates to a footrest device for a wheelchair, and more particularly to a footrest device and safety device for a wheelchair, in which a footrest provided in a lower side of the wheelchair moves up and down in accordance with a weight applied by a foot of a sitting person, thereby preventing a falling accident caused by stepping on the footrest when the sitting person rises from or sits in the wheelchair.

Disclosed are handicap apparatus using (a) one or more resilient, snap-on bumper structures, (b) unique tips covers, (c) leg elevating units, (d) resilient structures having a density that provides a softer exterior and a harder interior. The handicap apparatus includes crutches, canes, wheelchairs, scooters, and walkers.

A configurable assistive device comprising: a platform; at least three wheels; and, at least three independent leg mechanisms, each respective leg mechanism coupled to the platform and a respective one of the at least three wheels, each respective leg mechanism configured to move the platform relative to the respective wheel for positioning the platform at an elevation and for inclining the platform to an inclination to configure the assistive device into one of a plurality of configurations.
