A stander device with improvements to facilitate and/or make more convenient the adjustment and/or repositioning of various elements of the stander device for sizing and comfort of a patient/user, as well as making the folding, storage, and transportation thereof more convenient.

A seat lift for a bath that includes a seat, a seat back hingedly connected to the seat, a torsion spring, and a guide means for guiding the seat in reversible movement between lower and upper positions. The guide means is configured so that movement between the lower and upper positions comprises both vertical and lateral movement of the seat relative to a base of the bath. The seat back may move between a first seat back position in which the seat back is substantially upright and a second seat back position in which the seat back is orientated so that a user is leaning backwards. The torsion spring biases the seat back to rotate around the hinge connecting the seat back to the seat toward the first seat back position. The torsion spring torque is smaller when the seat is in the lower position than in the upper position.

A transfer apparatus for receiving the chair seat of a wheelchair and supporting the chair seat in the base of a washing enclosure. The transfer apparatus has a chair support member including a chair support track section that can be positioned in the washing enclosure base, a bridge portion with a bridge track section that is movably mounted to the chair support member. The transfer apparatus includes a lock system usable to secure the bridge portion in an in-use position and engaged with the wheelchair. A first lock inhibits rotational motion of the bridge portion. The first lock includes a retractable locking member that is biased to an extended, locking position. A second lock is usable to prevent longitudinal separation of the bridge portion and the wheelchair. The first and second lock can be automatically engaged when the bridge portion is moved to the in-use position.

An apparatus for transporting a patient. The apparatus includes a supporting portion to grasp part of the body of a patient. A footboard unit is provided upon which the patient is able to stand when supported by the supporting portion, the footboard unit movable along a floor by movable means. A frame is connected between the footboard unit and the supporting portion. The apparatus is configured so that the footboard unit is able to move in proximity to a bed upon which the patient is lying, whereat the supporting portion can grasp the part of the body of the patient, wherein the frame and the supporting portion are able to support the patient in transitioning from a lying position on the bed to a standing position adjacent the bed as the footboard unit is moved relative to the bed.

A swimming pool lift with weather protection for permanent installation at an edge of a swimming pool includes a seat for supporting a disabled person, a linkage assembly to move the seat between an entry level position and a water level position, and a driving device to move the linkage assembly. The linkage assembly is configured to be moved by the driving device between a folded state, in which the seat is positioned at the entry level position, and an unfolded state, in which the seat is positioned at the water level position. The swimming pool lift further includes a casing being configured to house the linkage assembly and the driving device, when the linkage assembly is in the folded state.

An adjustable lift chair having a frame supporting a seat that can be moved from a horizontal position to an upright angular position. The lift chair providing those with physical limitations the ability to move from a seated position to a standing position. The lift chair having a particular use in a bathroom wherein the chair can be used in a shower, bath, or for use as a toilet overlay. A piston device coupled to a battery provides portability, the piston device is operated by a remote controller.

An assistance device that more appropriately identifies a user using speech. The assistance device is provided with a speech detector, a name acquiring section that acquires a name of a person based on speech detected by the speech detector, and a user identifying section that identifies a care receiver who is a user of the assistance device based on the name acquired by the name acquiring device.

A positioning device includes a planar sheet having first and second side edges and a top surface. A patient is positioned on the top surface where the first and second side edges are adjacent to the patient's legs. A first flexible substrate and a second flexible substrate are coupled to the respective first and second side edge of the sheet and are capable of wrapping around an adjacent leg of the patient creating a wrapped engagement. This wrapped engagement of the patient's legs prevents heat loss during pre-surgery, surgery, post-surgery or transport of the patient. Handles coupled to the sheet may be utilized for lifting or moving the sheet when the patient is supported by the sheet.

Walking frame comprising front and rear wheels, an upper frame part that together with a hinged gate forms a closed hoop and wheel-holding, front and rear frame parts, said wheel-holding frame parts being directly or indirectly attached to or integrated with the upper frame part. The hinged gate is arranged at a rear end of the upper frame part. The rear wheel-holding frame parts extend in the direction of the rear wheels further back than the rear end of the upper frame part in a lower area that, in the vertical direction, is located less than 35 cm above the lower surface of the wheels of the wheels, in a horizontal extension of at least 10 cm behind a plumb line drawn down from the rear end of the upper frame part.

An electric lift device includes a support assembly, a rail, a lifting column, a seat assembly and a driving component. The rail is provided on the support assembly. The lifting column is coaxially sleeved on the rail, and is configured to ascend and descend along an axis of the rail. The seat assembly is connected to the lifting column. The driving component is provided at the support assembly, and is configured to drive the lifting column to ascend and descend relative to the rail so as to drive the seat assembly to ascend and descend. The rail is inclined at a preset angle relative to the support assembly towards a side away from the seat assembly.
