A walker adapted for attachment to a wheelchair may be used to assist a user with walking while retaining the wheelchair in close proximity behind the user for use when the user needs to sit. The walker may be removably attached to the frame of the wheelchair for easy exchange of use from one wheelchair to another. A pivotable, removably attachable gate between two lateral frame members may allow for the walker to be manipulated from a walking position to a stored position. The gate may include an extendable width to allow for use with wheelchairs of different widths. A frame of the walker may be extendably attached to the wheelchair, thereby allowing the user to extend and retract the walker between the walking position and the stored position.

A personal mobility system with multiple adjustments is presented. The personal mobility system may comprise one or more elastic stabilizer mechanisms. The adjustments may comprise a telescoping adjustment system for multiple handles, to adjust height and position of handles. The personal mobility system presents handles at a variety of positions, and of different types, to assist a user in moving from sitting to standing to walking, and to and from other positions, and presents a seat. The personal mobility system with elastic stabilizer mechanisms stabilizes the system against tipping over, improving user safety by reducing the occurrence of tips and falls. The elastic stabilizer mechanisms may be engaged by all handles and grip surfaces, or by a subset thereof, of the personal mobility system when a user begins to tip. The personal mobility system presents improvements in folding, convenience, and useability.

A walker specialized for use on trails by pushing and walking, rather than riding on, with no drivetrain, along with a method of using the walker on trails is provided. The walker can include a frame, two inline wheels, and a handlebar steering mechanism. The walker can further include a braking mechanism, an elbow rest, an electric motor, and racks and/or carriers for gear.

An upper body attachment, which may be used with a piece of exercising, stretching, or massaging equipment that incorporates whole body vibration (WBV) technology, and provides a user with a way to apply WBV technology to the upper body. The attachment may include a pair of uprights and a crossbar to which a variety of types of handles may be slidably attached. The attachment may have a base that both supports the uprights and connects the uprights with the equipment incorporating the WBV technology. Accordingly, the attachment transfers vibrations from the vibrating equipment to the handles that a user grips. Several exemplary WBV upper body exercises that the attachment facilitates include push-ups, pull-ups, and dips.

Various embodiments of systems, devices, components, and methods for providing external therapeutic vibration stimulation to a patient are disclosed and described. Therapeutic vibration stimulation is provided to at least one location on or adjacent to a patient's skin (such as through clothing or a layer disposed next to the patient's skin), and is configured to trigger or induce resonance or high amplitude oscillations in a cardiovascular system of the patient. Inducing such resonance can aid in training autonomic reflexes and improve their functioning.

A walking training system according to this embodiment includes a harness, at least three pulling units, and a control unit configured to control the at least three pulling units in such a way that a position of the harness in a horizontal plane becomes a target position. One of the at least three pulling units is a first pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from front of the trainee, another one of the at least three pulling units is a second pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from rear of the trainee, and another one of the at least three pulling units is a third pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness from a direction different from the first and second pulling units.

Systems, and methods relate to a medical device receiving a treatment parameter operating point within a first operating region defined by a first set of operating points for which automatic incremental adjustment of a parameter in the current operation is permitted. In an illustrative example, incremental adjustment may use artificial intelligence based on patient feedback and sensor measurement of outcomes. Some exemplary devices may receive a request to alter the current treatment parameter operating point to a second treatment parameter operating point outside the first operating region and in a second operating region in a known safe operation zone, bounded by a known unsafe zone unavailable to the user. In the second operating region, some examples may restrict the step size of incremental adjustments requested by the user. Data may be collected for cloud-based analysis, for example, to facilitate discovery of more effective treatment protocols.

A headache treatment assembly includes a clamping unit that has a pair of grips each is movably disposed in opposing sides of a clamping recess in the clamping unit. Each of the grips is urgeable toward each other to pinch a trapezius muscle at a strategic location to treat symptoms of a headache. A tube is coupled to and extends away from the clamping unit and the tube curves beneath the user's armpit when the clamping unit is positioned on the user's trapezius muscle. A knob is rotatably disposed on the tube and the knob is in mechanical communication with the clamping unit. The grips are urged toward each other when the knob is rotated in a first direction and the grips are urged away from each other when the knob is rotated in a second direction.

A massage device for a person's appendage includes a plurality of enclosures each comprising an outer surface and a hollow interior space having a control circuit, a power source such as a rechargeable battery, a vibration mechanism, and preferably at least one motor and a gear arrangement. Each enclosure includes at least one roller driven by the gear arrangement and the at least one motor. A plurality of connectors are each fixed between two adjacent enclosures to form a ring with the enclosures and the connectors. The connectors are adapted to contract or expand such that with the person's appendage fitted through the ring, the connectors are retracted until the rollers each contact the person's appendage to move the device along or about the person's appendage while the vibration mechanism massages the person's appendage.

An animal mobility device to be used with an animal who lacks full functional use of its rear legs, providing the animal with two modes of operation, with the first mode of operation being active, whereby the animal propels itself by its front legs while having its rear portion supported by the device, and with the second mode of operation being passive, whereby a human operator propels the device while the entirety of the animal is supported by the device.
