An exercise apparatus that includes a handle frame and a base frame.

A wheelchair is provided includes driving wheels, a pair of side frames, and an accommodation pocket. The frames rotatably support the driving wheels coupled to the exterior sides of the side frames. Each of side frames includes an elbow rest frame portion, a vertical frame portion, and a lower frame portion. The elbow rest frame portion has an elbow rest. The vertical frame portion is coupled to the rear end part of the elbow rest frame portion. The lower frame portion is arranged under the elbow rest frame portion. The vertical frame portion is coupled to the rear end part of the lower frame portion. The accommodation pocket is arranged above the front part of the driving wheel as viewed in side view, and is at least partially positioned on the exterior side relative to the elbow rest frame portion as viewed in front view.

A safety walker provides a strap that actuates to allow a person to enter into the safety walker and then raise the strap between their legs. The strap prevents ground level falls. The safety strap is actuated by a strap actuator that may pivot about a pivot attached to the movable support frame. The strap actuator may be locked into a secure position with the strap in an elevated position by a latch. The strap actuator may be coupled to a handle actuator by one or more linkages, or the strap actuator and handle actuator may be a one-piece rigid member that rotates about a single pivot on the moveable frame. A coupling member may extend between a left and right strap actuator proximal to the back end of the strap actuators and the safety strap may be attached to the coupling member.

A transition means for adapting a wheelchair is disclosed wherein a user or an occupant of the wheelchair is enabled to repeatably alternate the wheelchair between an original mode and an adapted mode by engaging and disengaging a unilaterally-connected adaptive implement.

There is described a wheelchair frame including first and second side frame members each having a first, rearward section designed to be coupled to a seat portion of a wheelchair and a second, forward section designed to be coupled to a foot portion of the wheelchair wherein the rearward and forward sections are connected to one another to form a substantially L-shaped profile. Each of the first and second side frame members exhibits, at least in part, a varying cross-section and further has an intermediate section shaped to act as a hand grip, which intermediate section is interposed between the rearward and forward sections and exhibits a cross-section that differs from a cross-section of the rearward section and/or forward section. The rearward section, the intermediate section and the forward section are successive sections of a same integral piece that is shaped to exhibit the varying cross-section. The rearward section exhibits a substantially circular cross-section and the forward section exhibits a substantially polygonal cross-section, the intermediate section being a substantially rectilinear section and exhibiting a varying cross-section that transitions gradually from the substantially circular cross-section of the rearward section to the substantially polygonal cross-section of the forward section.

A caster assembly for a wheelchair comprises a stem having a frame clamp at a first end and a fork clamp at a second end, the frame clamp configured to form a frame joint with at least one rotational degree of freedom with a frame portion of the wheelchair, a tightening of the frame clamp securing the stem to the frame portion, the frame joint having a frame rotational axis. A fork unit has a fork portion and a caster rotatably supported by the fork portion, the fork unit having swivel mechanism, and a joint portion forming a rotational joint with the fork clamp of the stem, a tightening of the fork clamp blocking rotation of the rotational joint, the rotational joint having a fork rotational axis. A vector of the fork rotational axis is normal to a fork rotational plane in which the fork rotates relative to the stem, and further wherein the frame rotational axis is not parallel to the fork rotational plane.
