An embodiment includes a walking stick. The walking stick includes a rod assembly, a water purification assembly, and a manual pump. The rod assembly extends from a first end to a second end that is opposite the first end along a longitudinal direction of the rod assembly. The rod assembly includes at least one rod portion. The water purification assembly is integrated with the rod assembly. The manual pump is configured to impose a pressure gradient in the water purification assembly. The manual pump includes a plunger that is physically coupled to a handle portion. Motion of the plunger relative to the water purification assembly draws water into an inlet tube that is positioned in the rod portion and through the water purification assembly. The motion of the plunger results from translation of the handle portion in substantially the longitudinal direction of the rod assembly.

Two-in-one walking supports and methods of using the walking support. The walking supports include first and second shaft portions and a handle assembly that has first and second handles. A latching mechanism is incorporated into the first and second handles and is configured to releasably couple the first and second handles to form the handle assembly and a single walking support configuration with the first and second shaft potions abutting one another and being configured to decouple the first and second handles and separate the first and second shaft portions to form a two-piece walking support configuration.

A walking training system and walking training machine capable of remarkably enhancing the effect of improving an independent walking function are proposed. When a subject having a lower limb functional disorder performs walking training, the degree of dependency on upper limbs can be evaluated by enabling the subject to recognize transitional reductions of a load on a holding part(s) by feeding back the transitional reductions of the load as a sense to feel them.

A deformable crutch, includes a hand-held part, a seat part and a support part which are rotatably connected in sequence, and further includes a locking device for locking a rotation angle between the hand-held part and the seat part, and a rotation angle between the seat part and the support part. Rollers (34) are provided at the bottom of the deformed stool. A motor for driving the rollers (34) can also be mounted to deform the deformable crutch into an electric scooter.

A cane having: a primary leg with a top end and an opposed bottom end; a handle coupled to the top end of the primary leg; and at least two secondary legs that are each pivotably coupled to the primary leg between the top and bottom ends of the primary leg. Each of the at least two secondary legs is pivotable between a first, retracted position and a second, deployed position.

A cane has an upper extent, a lower extent, and a central extent there between. The lower extent has a cylindrical configuration and includes a threaded coupling to the central extent for lengthening and shortening purposes. The central extent has an LCD screen for displaying text messages. A speaker in the upper extent is audibly accessible to a user. A processor is operatively coupled to the speaker and the LCD screen and a source of electrical potential.

A height adjustable walking aid includes an outer tube and an inner tube slidably received within the outer tube. Adjustment is made using a, actuating assembly and pin assembly. Application of an actuation force upon the actuating assembly engages a translating member within the translating rod assembly to drive a lower pin travel block of the pin assembly from a first position to a second position. A pin then travels from an extended position to a retracted position such that the inner tube may slidably translate within the outer tube

Two-in-one walking supports and methods of using the walking support. The walking supports include first and second shaft portions and a handle assembly that has first and second handles. A latching mechanism is incorporated into the first and second handles and is configured to releasably couple the first and second handles to form the handle assembly and a single walking support configuration with the first and second shaft potions abutting one another and being configured to decouple the first and second handles and separate the first and second shaft portions to form a two-piece walking support configuration.

A light reflecting headgear assembly includes an article of headgear that is wearable on a user's head. The article of headgear is comprised of a rigid material to protect the user's head from impact. A substrate is coupled on the article of headgear and a plurality of beads is each partially embedded into the substrate. Each of the beads is comprised of a translucent material to pass light therethrough. Each of the beads is partially embedded into the substrate to reflect light for enhancing visibility of the article of headgear in a darkened environment. A covering layer is positioned over the plurality beads and the covering layer is comprised of a translucent material to pass light therethrough.

A soft terrain walking assist device and foot for the same is disclosed. The walking assist device includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. A handle is defined at the proximal end. A foot is attached to the distal end. The foot formed as a rounded plate having a coupling on a top surface of the rounded plate. A plurality of downwardly protruding tabs disposed in a spaced apart relation about a peripheral edge of the rounded plate. The tabs are configured to penetrate a soft terrain in a ground surface and contain a portion of the soft terrain within a containment area defined between the bottom surface and an inner face of each of the plurality of downwardly protruding tabs. The present invention allows users with a stability or strength impediment to enjoy peaceful walks on the beach while providing added stability.
