Devices and systems are provided that comprise a reaching apparatus removably coupled with a mobility device such that an individual can couple, uncouple, and/or use the reaching apparatus while concurrently using the mobility device for stability and/or mobility assistance. Related devices, systems, and kits further comprise a sheath for coupling with a mobility device using one or more attachment means, the sheath configured to slidably receive at least part of the reaching apparatus therein. Furthermore, methods for using such devices and systems are provided, providing both retrofit options and otherwise.

An attachment apparatus for a crutch including a pair of horizontal supports, a rectangular attachment having a back side and a front side, and a pair of clips. The pair of horizontal supports includes an upper support and a lower support. A right end of each of the upper support and the lower support, and a left end of each of the upper support and the lower support are attached to a right side support of a crutch and a left side support of a crutch, respectively. The pair of clips includes an upper clip and a lower clip. Each of the upper clip and the lower clip has a female receptor and a male member. Each of the female receptors is disposed on each of the pair of horizontal supports, and each of the male members is disposed on the back side of the attachment.

A variety of ski and hiking poles are described. In one aspect, magnets are provided on the pole handles and baskets to facilitate magnetic coupling a pair of poles together in a state suitable for carrying. In some embodiments, a pair of magnets are provided on each side of the handle. In some embodiments, a basket alignment piece is attached to the pole shaft. The alignment piece helps facilitate attachment of the basket to the pole shaft in an orientation that aligns the basket magnets relative to the handle magnets. In another aspect novel wrist straps are described.

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 pilot light positioned in the handle which is always on so as to facilitate locating the apparatus in a dark environment.

Embodiments described herein relate generally to apparatuses and methods relating to mobility assist devices including, for example, walking canes. In some embodiments, a mobility assist device can include a wrist stabilizer and one or more exercising elements for enabling a user to perform torsion, rotation, grip, and/or other exercises.

The subject matter disclosed and claimed herein, in one embodiment thereof, comprises a roll-walk device. The device is a pair of walking sticks or poles that enables users to exercise their upper body by mimicking (i.e., the arm and upper body movements of) a walking, hiking, and/or skiing motion while sitting down. The base of each walking stick or pole features an interchangeable mechanism that enables users to swap out the standard base with a set of wheels. Thus, once the device is equipped with the wheels, the user can sit comfortably while mimicking (i.e., the arm and upper body movements of) a walking, hiking, and/or skiing motion to exercise their upper body.

An advanced trekking staff includes a main shaft, secondary shaft, tip shaft, a housing, and a plurality of concentric shafts. The plurality concentric shafts are slidably disposed within the interior cavity of the main shaft. The main shaft and tip shaft are slidably disposed on the secondary shaft. The main shaft may be raised and lowered and secured to a variable position to the tip shaft within the secondary shaft sleeved on the tip shaft to lengthen the main shaft as desired. A first configuration includes the plurality concentric shafts disposed within the interior cavity of the main shaft to form a trekking staff A second configuration includes the two concentric shafts received by the housing coupled to the main shaft so as to form a tripod.

The disclosed fishing cane includes a telescoping cane with a rubber foot bottom and a top and fishing line eyelets there between. The disclosure also includes a fishing reel attached proximal to the top of the telescoping cane and a fishing pole extension slidingly embedded in the telescoping cane and comprising fishing line eyelets and a stop boss.

A fitness pole system having first and second fitness poles, where each of the poles includes an elongated shaft having a first end grip portion coupled to a first terminal end region, a second end grip portion coupled to a second terminal end region, and an intermediate grip portion coupled to an intermediate region of the shaft and disposed between the first and second end grip portions. Each of the first and second end grip portions includes a user grip portion coupled to a respective terminal end region of the shaft, and a ground contacting portion coupled to a respective terminal end face of the shaft. The ground contacting portion has a main body having a bulbous contacting portion and an attachment member extending outwardly from a bottom surface of the contacting region. The attachment member can be coupled to the respective terminal end face of the shaft.
