A walking assistance apparatus that includes an elongated staff having a handle at one end and a ground engaging tip at the other with the staff including a light pipe having a high intensity light emitting member disposed therein to produce light around the user's feet and a source of electrical energy coupled through a control circuit to energize the light emitting member. A plurality of switches are disposed on the handle to energize the light emitting member and the apparatus also includes a motion sensor which automatically turns the light emitting member ON when the apparatus is in use.

An illuminated walking assistance apparatus is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the apparatus provides an elongated staff having a ground-engaging tip portion at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end. The staff provides a light pipe positioned proximal the tip portion and having a light-emitting member disposed therein to selectively illuminate the ground proximal the tip portion. The staff further provides a red nightlight which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.

A package (200) for a selectively separable quad cane assembly can include an enclosed rectangular box (500), with a front face (201) defining an aperture (224) that is centrally located along a height (225) of the front face and offset from a medial line (227) defined by the front face. An upper face (205) can define a two-sided aperture (222) at a corner of the upper face, while a lower face (206) defines a peninsular aperture (221) that is centrally located along an edge (223) of the lower face. In the package, the aperture can concentrically circumscribe an a cane-receiving conduit (125) of a quadspider (221) of the cane, while an apex (501) of a gooseneck (108) of the cane is aligned with the two-sided aperture of the upper face and the lower leg is aligned with the peninsular aperture of the lower face.

A dual ergonomic walking cane system that is easy and comfortable to use employs an anterior and a posterior cane connected by at least one releasable coupling for use in one hand or following separation allowing the use of one cane in each hand with an optional ball grip on the anterior cane. A guide on one cane consists of a pair of spaced apart guide members extending from one cane toward the other cane for receiving the shaft of the other cane when inserted between them and then held in place by gravity, by an alignment coupling or by magnets. When handles located on each cane are moved apart the canes can be easily disengaged enabling the anterior cane to be quickly removed from the guide while the canes are at or close to horizontal alignment.

This invention is for a walking cane having three handles to assist a disabled person after an accidental fall to the ground to enable him or her to rise using the three handles of the cane in an erect or upright position after he or she has fallen and to assist him or her to continue walking or to seek additional assistance if necessary.

The present disclosure provides an exoskeleton robot control system, including an exoskeleton robot coupled to a user, a first crutch configured to be held by a user, wherein the first crutch is physically separated from the exoskeleton robot, a trajectory sensor disposed on the first crutch, wherein the trajectory sensor is configured to detect a trajectory of the first crutch, and a control unit configured to generate an instruction based on the detected trajectory of the first crutch, wherein the instruction is received by the exoskeleton robot, and a subsequent movement of the exoskeleton robot is decided by the instruction.

A folding cane with a first shaft member, a second shaft member, a third shaft member, a handle member, a foot member, a first hinge, a second hinge, a first hinge lock assembly and a second hinge lock assembly is disclosed. The handle member is attached to the top of the first shaft member. The first hinge member connects the first shaft member to the second shaft member. The second hinge member connects the second shaft member to the third shaft member. The foot member is attached to the bottom of the third shaft member. The hinge lock assemblies are capable of automatically locking the hinges when the folding cane is deployed to the use position and each hinge lock assembly includes a spring biased slide tab allowing a user to unlock the hinge lock assemblies when wanting to fold the cane into a compact stored configuration.
