Mobility device for physically disabled people 1, comprising a chassis 10 with at least one motor for maneuvering the entire mobility device 1; a pivot arm 20, which at its lower end 22 is pivotably connected to the chassis 10; and a pelvis support 40, which is connected to an upper end 23 of the pivot arm 20; wherein a physically disabled person 2 can sit with the pelvis support 40 attached to its body, can move around with the mobility device 1 in a standing position on the chassis 10, and can change on its own from sitting to standing position, wherein all elements of the mobility device 1 except the elements directly contacting the body of the person 2 extending above pelvis height h of the sitting person 2 can be lowered or moved to or below this height h. The present invention further comprises a method for erecting of a sitting physically disabled person 2 and for fixing of the person 2 in standing position onto a motor-driven mobility device 1.

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.

Disclosed is a mecanum wheel, including a mecanum wheel body and a drive device. A wheel axle hole is formed in the mecanum wheel body. The drive device is partially or completely arranged in the wheel axle hole. The axis of a connecting shaft of the drive device is collinear with a rotary shaft of the mecanum wheel body, and the mecanum wheel body rotates along with a housing of the drive device. Further disclosed are a mecanum wheel with a shock absorbing device, a chassis including at least one pair of mecanum wheels, and an assistant robot including a chassis.

A limb elevation device comprising a base having a proximal section with an angled upper surface and a distal section with a planar upper surface. The bottom surface of the distal section having one or more recesses with anchor points disposed within the one or more recesses. Securement straps may be selectively attached to the anchor points and the securement straps may be utilized to secure the limb elevation device to a table, bed, or other surface and/or to secure the patient's leg to the securement device itself.

A patient assisting system includes a frame having a sling assembly attachment point and a lifting arm which is movable relative to the frame and which includes a receptacle. When the sling assembly is attached to the attachment point and extends through the receptacle, a portion of the sling travels through the receptacle as the lifting arm moves relative to the frame. Another embodiment includes exactly one four bar linkage comprised of a frame having an attachment point for a sling assembly, a lifting arm having a receptacle, a lower cross arm and an upper cross arm. The lifting arm is adapted to be movable between a person-seated position and a person-standing position. The receptacle is located along the lifting arm so that motion of the lifting arm causes the receptacle to move along a curved path having a concave side which is person-facing.

Knee support system is provided to be incorporated within mobility apparatus. The knee support system comprises at least two oppositely positioned knee supports configured to be connected to members of the mobility apparatus, wherein the knee supports have a disengaged position in which the knee supports are laterally rotated and an engaged position in which the knee supports are harnessing legs of a user. Each of the knee supports comprises a bar and a bracket, wherein relative movement is maintained between the bar and the bracket so as to allow the bracket to laterally move in respect of the bar.

A device positioned near a user provides support to the user in sitting and standing positions. The user can move from sitting to standing, without assistance, even if the user is relatively weakened. The device includes (1) a base and tower, and provides support to the user when in-between; (2) a personal support coupled to the tower, and operated by a user control, such as a wheel or a motor. The tower can include padding or knee support so the user can lean against the tower.

A device to provide assistance in transferring and standing includes a knee-fixing unit wrapped around and supporting either the knee area or at least the front and sides of the lower leg area from knee to ankle of a care-receiver; a pelvis support wrapped around at least the buttocks or a section from the pelvis to thighs of said care-receiver in a manner that prevents slippage from said pelvis support from slipping off; and left and right pulling bands. Each band having two connecting ends attached to the side of a thigh section and the side of a hip section of said pelvis support respectively so that said bands are positioned above and below the greater trochanter when said care-receiver is being pulled up during transfer/standing assistance and are positioned in front of and behind the greater trochanter when said care-receiver is seated.

A mobility device that includes support assemblies that may be secured to feet, legs, thighs, and torso of a user. An exemplary mobility device may further include an actuator that may be coupled with the exemplary support assemblies and may actuate rotational movements of the exemplary support assemblies with respect to each other. Such movement of support assemblies may accordingly move respective limbs of a disabled user. An exemplary mobility device may allow for a user to change position from a lying position to a standing position or from a standing position to a sitting position, which may significantly increase mobility of a disabled user. An exemplary mobility device may further include an exemplary wheeled base that may allow a disabled user to further move around.

A portable leg lifting assisting assembly includes a base having a top side, a bottom side and a perimeter edge. A plurality of wheels is rotatably attached to the bottom side. A post having an upper end extends upwardly from the base. A support arm has a first end and a second end. The support arm is pivotally attached to the upper end of the post and pivots in a vertical plane extending through the first and second ends. A lift mechanism is coupled to the post and the support arm is actuated to lift the second end up or down relative to the base. A beam is attached to the support arm adjacent to the second end. A pair of saddles for receiving a person's legs is attached to the beam.
