A kit for converting a crutch to a cane, table, or bench is disclosed. The kit includes a crutch, a picker, a tabletop panel, a foot pad, and a seat cushion. The crutch includes an upper section connected to a middle section by a first pivot and a lower section connected to the middle section by a second pivot. The first pivot and the second pivot orient the sections of crutch to position the crutch in an upright crutch configuration, a table configuration, a cane configuration, or a bench configuration. The picker attaches to the upper section when the crutch is in the table configuration. The foot pad attaches to the picker to stabilize the picker upright. The tabletop panel attaches to the upper section when the crutch is in the table configuration. The seat cushion attaches to the lower section when the crutch is in the bench configuration.

A position-adjustable accessory handle device helps a user maneuver a rollator. The handle device provides an arced handle bar that detachably fastens to a rollator handle, serving as an extension. An adjustment bracket fits between handle bar and rollator handle, allowing the handle bar to adjustably articulate in height and angle, relative to the rollator handle. The handle bar has a short proximal section and a long distal section. An arced bridge extends therebetween. The bridge orients the proximal section towards the user, and allows for fastening to different rollators. The proximal section of handle bar has a grip member for gripping. Fastening holes form in the distal section of handle bar. An adjustment bracket fits between handle bar and rollator handle. This creates frictionless pivoting articulation of the handle bar; and to enable the handle bar to be fixedly oriented at a set angle relative to rollator handle.

A gait trainer attachment adapted for use with exercise equipment and a method for using the gait trainer attachment. Embodiments of the gait trainer attachment include a frame, a leg brace, and a compromised limb gait system. The compromised limb gait system attaches the leg brace to the frame and is configured to guide a limb of a user through a simulated gait motion. In aspects, the gait trainer attachment gives an amputee user the ability to use ordinary exercise equipment for rehabilitation and endurance training by providing a leg brace for the compromised limb, a frame designed to attach to exercise equipment, and a connection between the leg brace and frame that guides the compromised limb, thus allowing the user to maintain a biomechanically proper walking motion while exercising.

A health care device includes a health care body for positioning a body part of a user, so as to maintain a first specific positional relationship with the body part, wherein the body part has an acupoint; an acupoint work piece for performing a health care work onto the use through the acupoint; and a work piece holder having a first end connected to the health care body and a second end for fixing the acupoint work piece, so that under the first specific positional relationship, the acupoint work piece performs the health care work under the condition that the acupoint work piece has a second specific positional relationship with the acupoint. A health care body, method and system are also provided.

A gait rehabilitation device includes a stand equipped with casters spaced apart along the width and the length of the stand. Two movable arms forming a pedal crank, each arm comprising a first end rotatably mounted on the device about an axis parallel to the width of the stand. The wedging element to wedge the patient’s foot/leg is adjustable and lockable according to the width of the device. The thigh/leg spreader to adjustably space the patient’s thighs/legs on either side of the saddle support is configured to follow the alternating movement of the patient’s lower limbs. The position setting of the wedging element according to the width of the device is independent of the space setting of the thigh/leg spreader.

An orthopedic system wherein a patient's brain is operably coupled to an actuation assembly for voluntarily moving a brace/limb of the patient between a number of desirable positions. An orthopedic brace, or one of more components thereof, which can be utilized with the orthopedic system.

A moving device for moving a human thumb, in particular for moving the thumb between a resting position and a grasping position. A thumb bending section is adapted to at least partially move the thumb between a flexed position and an extended position. The thumb bending section has a gear unit for transforming a rotation of a rotation element, which is rotatably mounted to a housing, into an essentially linear movement between a translation element and the housing. The thumb bending section further has a first flexion spring mechanically connected to the translation element and adapted to be fixed with a first proximal end of the first flexion spring relative to a human thumb at a position in a proximal distance to the metacarpophalangeal joint or at a position between the metacarpophalangeal joint and the carpometacarpal joint.

An integrated functional electrical stimulation (FES) system includes a component of a mobility assistance device, and an FES system mounted within the component. The FES system includes an FES stimulator that is embedded within the component, and a plurality of FES jacks that are electrically connected to the FES stimulator and are located on the component. The FES jacks are configured to receive a plurality of FES electrodes, and an electrical stimulation output from the FES stimulator is conducted through the FES jacks to the FES electrodes. In a wireless embodiment, the FES stimulator is configured to wirelessly transmit a control signal for applying an electrical stimulation output to the plurality of FES electrodes, and the FES jacks are eliminated. The FES stimulator may be embedded within a back portion of the hip component of an exoskeleton device, and in the wired embodiment the FES jacks are located on wing portions of the hip component.

A wearable passive exoskeleton device for sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit transfer includes a leg exoskeleton frame configured to be worn at a user's leg and a lever arm rotatably coupled to the leg exoskeleton frame so as to provide a handle for the user to move between a sitting position and a standing position (or between a kneeling position and a standing position). The lever arm is rotatable with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame between a stowed position and a deployed position. The lever arm may be a unidirectional lever arm configured to rotate only in a first rotational direction with respect to the leg exoskeleton frame such that a pushing or pulling force exerted in a second rotational direction transmits an assisting force to the user to assist in a sit-to-stand and/or stand-to-sit movement.
