A mobility scooter includes a first member having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and a rear wheel assembly coupled to the second end of the first member. The mobility scooter includes a seat assembly coupled to the first member, and a second member being transverse to the first member and having a first end coupled to the first end of the first member, and a second end opposite the first end of the second member. The mobility scooter further includes a steering column having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end of the steering column. The steering column is coupled to the second end of the second member. The mobility scooter includes a front wheel coupled to the second end of the steering column, and a handlebar coupled to the first end of the steering column.

A single incapacitated leg crutch for use by a person with a single incapacitated leg is provided with features for user friendly attachment and release of the crutch. The single incapacitated leg crutch includes features for controlled limitation of lateral and forward gait movement and gait walking stabilization that occurs in natural lateral and forward walking gait motion without a crutch.

The present invention provides an apparatus designed to assist users in ascending or descending stairs. The system preferably comprises an apparatus with a handle, a horizontal top surface, side walls, front and rear vertical surface, a plurality of horizontal bottom surfaces, and a vertical face between said horizontal bottom surfaces.

A wearable sitting-posture assisting device includes at least one leg unit that defines at least one longitudinal leg axis, and includes at least one foot unit that is configured for a connection of a shoe and/or a foot of a person, and includes at least one bearing unit supporting at least a portion of the foot unit such that it is translationally movable at least transversely to the at least one longitudinal leg axis. The bearing unit comprises at least one reset element, which is configured, in at least one bearing position, to apply a reset force to at least a portion of the foot unit.

A walking assist device includes a vertical support with a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end coupled to a seat for supporting a user's hip with the user's thigh in a generally horizontal position and a seat attachment member to secure the user's thigh to the seat. The distal end of the vertical support comprises a foot for transferring weight from the user's hip to the ground with the user's thigh in a generally horizontal position. An optional horizontal support extends from the vertical support between the proximal end and the distal end of the vertical support and includes a calf support member.

A knee joint that is capable of widening a moveable range, and that has good energy efficiency and is small and lightweight is described. Also described is a knee joint that is of an active type, but comparatively inexpensive. A drive section moves a driven member. An elastic member is arranged between the driven member and a linear motion member. The linear motion member elastically moves in at least one direction, in accordance with movement of the driven member, by way of the elastic member. A crank mechanism can realize bending and extension of the knee joint by converting linear motion of the linear motion member to rotational motion.

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 walking roller assembly includes a leg sling for receiving a patient's lower leg and pair of roller frames each attached to the leg sling. Each of the roller frames has a curved member which engages a support surface upon which the patient is walking. Thus, each of the roller frames inhibits the patient's lower leg from supporting the patient's body weight to facilitate a leg injury to heal. The curved member of each of the roller frames curves downwardly with respect to the leg sling thereby facilitating the leg sling to rock when the patient walks thereby simulating the patient's normal gait. A leg panel is pivotally attached to the pair of roller frames and the leg panel is oriented at an angle with the leg sling. In this way the leg panel can receive the patient's upper leg and orient the patient's leg in a bent position.

A mobility scooter includes a first member having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and a rear wheel assembly coupled to the second end of the first member. The mobility scooter includes a seat assembly coupled to the first member, and a second member being transverse to the first member and having a first end coupled to the first end of the first member, and a second end opposite the first end of the second member. The mobility scooter further includes a steering column having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end of the steering column. The steering column is coupled to the second end of the second member. The mobility scooter includes a front wheel coupled to the second end of the steering column, and a handlebar coupled to the first end of the steering column.
