Embodiments of a smart mobility aid device may have sensors to collect, monitor, analyze and represent data including but not limited to activity tracking, biometrics and safety and emergency features. The activity tracking include number of steps, miles, and activity speed, user pressure on a device, activity types and analysis. The user biometric data includes but is not limited to blood work, blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, oxygen level/rate, ECG, EMG, muscle strain, humidity, UV, body temperature. Additional features include an emergency button, fall detection, warnings, and user pattern analysis changes. The mobility aid device is connected to other smart electronic device and/or the Internet using but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and or/and SIM card. The device gives the user or/and caregiver live feedback about user health metrics and status using a data representation method.

Several embodiments are provided of a device which is tunable for providing a walking aid user with passive haptic feedback. The haptic feedback is provided to the user when a predetermined, desired force in the device is reached. The force, often simply an axial force, in the device is inputted by the user, who is looking to support some of his or her body weight, thereby taking some weight off of one or both legs for some purpose. The amount of body weight support the user would input is often expressed in terms of percentage of the user's total body weight, and can therefore be predetermined and the device tuned accordingly.

The Trucker's Tool is a safer way to pull fifth wheel handles because the length allows truck drivers to stand up straight with (both) feet flat on the ground when pulling on the fifth wheel handle. The Trucker's Tool keeps you from bending your back and reaching over the top of the tires to pull the fifth wheel handle with your hand, putting you in an unsafe position. Standing up straight when pulling on the fifth wheel handle helps to keep a driver's head, hand, wrist, arm, and shoulder away from dangerous areas. A driver can put (both) hands on the Trucker's Tool when pulling the fifth wheel handle, allowing them to use twice the strength and less the strain on the above mentioned areas of the body helping to lower the risk of injury.

The present invention provides a pole shaft device including an outer shaft (10); an inner shaft (20) which is disposed in the outer shaft (10) and slides along the inside of the outer shaft (10); a fixing member (30) which is fixed on the inner shaft (20) and has an inclined surface formed in the circumferential direction thereof; and an extension member (40) which is coupled to the outer shaft (10) so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction thereof, and is extended by friction with the inclined surface so as to fix the outer shaft (10) and the inner shaft (20).

Telescoping and/or folding pole, in particular for hiking, having a first tubular portion (1) and a second tubular portion (2). The first tubular portion (1) is arranged partially inside the second tubular portion (2) and can be axially displaced therein, the first tubular portion (1) has a radial opening (3) and a radially movable and resiliently loaded securing element (4) which extends through the radial opening (3) and on which the second tubular portion (2) is positioned such that an axial pushing-together of the first tubular portion (1) and the second tubular portion (2) is impeded is provided. The securing element (4) has a recess (5) with which the second tubular portion (2) cooperates such that radial movements of the securing element (4) relative to the second tubular portion (2) are prevented.

A hiking staff with bow attachment for improving balance to avoid injury by ensuring smooth and efficient energy transfer throughout a complete stride forward. The bow attachment comprises a curved member for maintaining continuous high surface area impacts with ground surfaces and contact points for penetrating ground surfaces to help stabilize the curved member during use. A connecting portion removably joins the bow attachment to the lower section of the staff portion. The hiking staff may be adapted for a specialized outdoor use such as rock climbing or mountaineering and indoor versions are useful as walking assistants for the handicapped, injured or elderly. Lastly, tool attachments secure to either end of the staff portion and transform the hiking staff into a multi-tool system.

A walking cane having an overall Y-shape with each of a handle and wrist support extending away from connection with a vertical ground engaging shaft of the cane at an angle. The walking cane provides enhanced comfort, support, stability, and versatility to users. A Y-shaped upper portion with an ergonomic handle portion encourages proper height setting, provides wrist support, promotes a natural grip, and reduces hand and wrist strain. Magnetic clips located on each cane allow it to be securely snapped to another cane for easy storage and transport. Using two canes in tandem further provides bilateral support. The cane's upper portion angle is based on the angle of an individual in a neutral standing position so that, during use, the cane mirrors the user's leg angle to promote a more proper and natural gait. An integrated height adjustment mechanism allows for user customization. The cane also features lightweight and durable construction, with a non-slip rubber tip for added stability and safety. The cane may be modular in nature to allow for individual customization with an upper portion removably secured to the lower portion support leg.

In one aspect, a method of detecting a step taken by a patient with a walking aid is disclosed. At least one load sensor detects a transitory positive load upon the walking aid having a maximum load value that exceeds a positive load threshold. A duration of the transitory positive load is measured. A verification is made that the measured duration of the transitory positive load upon falls within a range. The load sensor(s) and a motion sensor further detect an unweighted movement of the walking aid exceeding a movement threshold. A duration of the unweighted movement is measured. A further verification is made that the duration of the unweighted movement of the walking aid exceeds a minimum recovery phase duration threshold. Conditionally upon the detecting, the verifying, the further detecting, and the further verifying, an indicator of the step is stored in a non-transitory memory.

The present disclosure provides an illuminated walking cane having a cane pole component, a ground-engaging tip at a first end and a handle at an opposing second end, a light mounted on the cane pole component. The handle has a supporting seat with a recessed cavity, a battery assembly with a conductive terminal accommodated in the recessed cavity and an upper cover covering the battery assembly so that the upper shell and the battery assembly form an integral piece which may be grasped by hand and may be detached from the supporting seat. The battery assembly has a bottom shell, a battery unit and a charging port provided on the bottom of the battery assembly. The edge of the bottom shell is supported and connected by the edge of the supporting seat to form a space for receiving the charging port.

A fishing pole walking cane combination device is disclosed that is a dual purpose rod that can be used as both a walking cane and a fishing pole. The fishing pole walking cane combination device comprises a body component that is configured in a plurality of telescopic segments, that when collapsed, it is a walking cane and when extended, it will function as a fishing pole. The distal end of the body component comprises a curved cane handle and the proximal end of the body component comprises a rubber tip that can be taken off to allow the fishing pole to be extended. The body component also comprises a place for a reel to be secured and easily detached.
