Systems and methods for providing dual purpose armrests and crutches of a wheelchair
Embodiments herein are directed to systems and methods of a wheelchair that includes a frame and a pair of armrests. The pair of armrests includes an arm pad, a sleeve configured to store a plurality of telescoping segments, and a pivot portion positioned between the arm pad and the sleeve. The plurality of telescoping segments is configured to extend in a system vertical direction. The pair of armrests is releasably coupled to the frame at the sleeve via a release mechanism. The pair of armrests is pivotable between a first position and a second position wherein when in the first position the pair of armrests is in an armrest position and in the second position the pair of armrests is pivoted in the system vertical direction such that the pair of armrests is a pair of crutches independently operable from the wheelchair.
Electric vehicle
The electric vehicle includes a moving base in which a front base with front wheels and a rear base with rear wheels are coupled to be extendable in a front-rear direction of a vehicle, an upper frame in which upper ends of a right and left pair of frames provided upward from both right and left side portions of the rear base are coupled by an upper end frame extending in a vehicle width direction, a seat configured to be movable between a seating position and a folded position, a seat operating part operated by a user seated at the seat, a rear operating part operated by the user in a standing and walking attitude from behind the seat, a rear cover frame extending in the vehicle width direction, wherein an article accommodation portion is formed between the upper end frame and the rear cover frame.
SEATING-TYPE GAIT REHABILITATION ROBOT IMPROVED IN ENTRY CHARACTERISTICS
Proposed is a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, and more particularly to a seating-type gait rehabilitation robot improved in entry characteristics, of which a structure is concise and simple, and in which a footrest on which a trainee can put his/her foot has the minimum height to allow the trainee to easily enter and readily use the robot without any separate entry means for entry of the trainee and is placed at an entry side for the trainee to raise a gait training effect and reduce a collision risk.
CONVERTIBLE MOBILITY DEVICE
The present invention provides an assistive mobility device convertible between a rollator mode and a transport chair mode.
External Structural Brace Apparatus
An external structural brace apparatus for supporting a user in a semi standing position on a surface includes first and second support extension beams that to attach to the surface, also included is a channel having a base with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs extend in the same direction from opposing sides of the base, the first leg is affixed to the first support structure and the second leg is affixed to the second support structure, the channel can be lockably positioned along the first and second beams. In addition, a saddle seat with a midpoint extension portion, the saddle is attached between the first and second legs and positioned such that the midpoint extension extends opposite of the base, wherein operationally the user partially rests their buttocks on the saddle and leans their back against the base to assume a semi supported standing posture.
MASSAGE DEVICE COMPRISING BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT MODULE FOR BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT, AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME
Disclosed herein are a massage device including a body composition measurement module for body composition measurement and a method of controlling the same. An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a massage device including a massage module configured to provide mechanical stimuli to at least a part of the body of a user, a first body composition measurement module provided on a leg massage part to measure the body composition of the user, and a controller configured to control operation of the massage module and the first body composition measurement module.
WALKER COMPRISING TOILET SEAT LIFTING MECHANISM
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a walker comprising a portable lift toilet seat. Particularly, the walker is defined by a frame that supports a toilet seat, a cover, and a pair of actuators. The cover provides a privacy feature, hiding the toilet seat from view during normal operation of the walker. When needed, the cover can be lifted or folded away to allow the user to access the toilet seat. The toilet seat can then be lifted and/or lowered by actuators positioned on either side of the walker. In this way, a user can easily be positioned over a toilet to use the bathroom without the need for a caregiver to lift and lower him. The user can also be lifted after they are done using the bathroom to return to a standing position or sitting position.
METHOD FOR PROVIDING MENTAL MASSAGE TO HELP TREAT ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION, AND MASSAGE DEVICE
Disclosed are a method and a device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a massage device for providing a mental massage to help treat anxiety and depression is disclosed, the device including: a mental state determination unit for determining a mental state on the basis of a biosignal of a user; a mental massage pattern determination unit for determining a mental massage pattern on the basis of the determined mental state; and a mental massage provision unit for providing a massage on the basis of the mental massage pattern.
AUTOMATIC BRAKING SYSTEM FOR A WALKER AND RELATED WALKERS AND METHODS
A walker is disclosed. The walker includes a frame, a wheel, a brake selectively positionable in an engaged state, in which the brake resists wheel rotation, or a disengaged state, in which the brake does not resist wheel rotation, a brake actuator configured to place the brake in the engaged state or the disengaged state, a handle, a hand-position sensor configured to provide a first signal responsive to the handle being grasped in a walking grasp and to provide a second signal responsive to the handle being grasped in a standing/sitting grasp, and a processor configured to cause the brake actuator to place the brake in the disengaged state based at least in part on the first signal and to cause the brake actuator to place the brake in the engaged state based at least in part on the second signal. Related devices, systems, and methods are also disclosed.
