A walking training apparatus 1 includes a leg robot 2 attached to a leg of a walking trainee, a motor 261 configured to rotationally drive a knee joint 22 of the leg robot 2, a control unit 332 configured to control the motor 261 so that the motor 261 rotationally drives the knee joint 22 in a leg-idling period in a gait motion of the walking trainee, a motor torque detection unit 262 configured to detect a motor torque, the motor torque being a torque generated by the motor 261, and a determination unit 333 configured to determine whether or not the walking trainee is in a spasticity state or a rigidity state by using a value of the motor torque detected in the leg-idling period by the motor torque detection unit 262.

A knee crutch includes a leg tube; a support tube secured to the leg tube and comprising a platform portion and a vertical portion; a cradle positioned atop and secured to the platform portion of the support tube; and a thigh restraint coupled to the vertical portion of the support tube. The thigh restraint has a pair of wings operably coupled to an adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism is configured to simultaneously and dependently adjust an angular position of the pair of wings.

A foldable walker having an arcuate front and rear leg frames pivotably connected by a hinge which permits the two leg frames to covert from an open configuration, with the front wheels engaging the ground and spaced a first distance from the rear wheels, to a folded configuration with the front wheels closer to the rear wheels. The walker includes a seat which can convert from a horizontal seat position to a vertical backrest position, and a height adjustable and pivotable foot rest.

A combination crutch and knee walker device converts between a rolling knee walker configuration and a crutch configuration through a single folding or expanding articulation that requires no tools or skillset. The device includes a first support bar that forms the primary lever of support. A second support bar pivotally joins the first support bar at a hinged junction, generally three-quarters down from the top of the first support bar. The support bars fold and expand about the hinged junction to convert between crutch and knee walker. A panel hingedly joins at the hinged junction serving as a supportive platform for an upper body, such as the arm or the knee, depending on the crutch or knee walker configuration. Further, the mobility function, such as rolling rollers, will restrict or free rotation depending on the selected configuration of the device.

A crutch (102) for supporting a leg of a user is described. The crutch comprises a handle (112), a base portion (116) having plurality of legs (114) that define a footprint when contacting the ground, and a main rod (123) connecting the handle and the base portion. The base portion (116) is moveable to alter the length of the crutch (102) from a first configuration to a second configuration, and wherein in the first configuration the handle (112) is positioned at a first distance from the base portion (116) for gripping by an ambulatory user and in the second configuration the handle (112) is positioned at a second, shorter, distance from the base portion (116) for resting a foot of a sitting user; and wherein the base portion (116) provides a smaller footprint in the first configuration than in the second configuration.

A knee walker with four-wheel steering. The knee walker includes a frame, at least one front axle assembly, at least one rear axle assembly, a kneeling pad assembly, and a steering system. The steering system is configured to turn the rear axle assembly in the opposite direction from the front axle assembly. The opposing angles of the front and rear wheels enable the knee walker to perform tighter turns by eliminating rear wheel drag.

A sling for use with wheeled walker is disclosed. The sting reversibly attached to the two handles of a walker and forms a sling in which a user can place a leg. When a user cradles an injured or otherwise burdened leg in the nadir of the sling, the stress on their joints is partially alleviated and their upright stability is supported, The sling is removable and adjustable by the user and may be cleaned and disinfected as necessary, allowing it to be used and reused by those in a rehabilitation of assistive care facility.

A crutch includes a base, one or more leg support members coupled to the base, and an axillary support member coupled to the base. The leg support members are configurable to at least partially the weight of a person through the person's leg. The axillary support member is configurable to extend under one of the user's arms to at least partially bear weight of the person. The axillary support member may be adjustable to reversibly transform the crutch between axillary support of the person and leg support of the person. The crutch can be selectively configured for use in a hands-free walking mode, an axillary support mode, a sitting mode, or a compact mode.

A walker that includes a first frame having first and second legs, a second frame having first and second legs, one or more support bars connecting the first leg of the first frame to the first leg of the second frame; and a foldable or stowable foot rest.

Disclosed embodiments include a stair step assisting device which aids a user, recovering from surgery or having an injury which prevents bearing weight on one foot or ankle, in climbing or descending a staircase. The stair step assisting device has a main body, a lower body and an upper body, which in some embodiments are adjustable relative to one another to accommodate heights of different users and/or different riser heights of different staircases. The device includes lower and upper tread interface surfaces which rest on treads of two adjacent steps, and lower and upper riser interface surfaces which are positioned against risers of two adjacent steps.
