A one handed walk assist device featuring a handle and plurality of legs affixed to a variably shaped support frame, featuring various independent embodiments including an embodiment trapezoidal orientation between the front and back legs, and an embodiment apparatus orientation that is angled backwardly. A variety of storage/carriage compartments are disclosed.

An external structural brace apparatus for supporting a user in a semi standing position on a surface includes first and second support extension beams that to attach to the surface, also included is a channel having a base with first and second legs, wherein the first and second legs extend in the same direction from opposing sides of the base, the first leg is affixed to the first support structure and the second leg is affixed to the second support structure, the channel can be lockably positioned along the first and second beams. In addition, a saddle seat with a midpoint extension portion, the saddle is attached between the first and second legs and positioned such that the midpoint extension extends opposite of the base, wherein operationally the user partially rests their buttocks on the saddle and leans their back against the base to assume a semi supported standing posture.

A lift system has a back panel and a seat panel to provide a seat. The back panel is slidably mounted on a support column via slider so that the back panel can be moved up and down to adjust the seat height. The seat panel can be flipped back when the back panel is in an upright position. The back panel, together with the support column, can be oriented in a horizontal position and the seat panel can be adjusted similarly. With the support column, the lift system can be attached to a wheeled frame for mobility, but it can also be attached to a pole, a rotatable arm, a wall or a ceiling.

Embodiments herein are directed to a system that includes a powered wheelchair, a user-worn exoskeleton, and a master controller. The master controller monitors the independent movements of the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton. The master controller prioritizes the movement of the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton such that only one of the powered wheelchair or the user-worn exoskeleton will have the priority to complete the intended movement. The master controller may coordinate movements between the powered wheelchair and the user-worn exoskeleton so to perform a plurality of predetermined programs. For example, assisting a user to sit within the powered wheelchair, to assist a user to stand from a seating position when outside of the powered wheelchair, and/or use the powered wheelchair as a guide for walking.

A transportation device including a frame with a geometry and proportions that supports the body in a way that permits free movement of the lower body and legs, unencumbered by the device itself, to propel the transportation device and enable steering of the transportation device while riding with the body partially or wholly suspended off of the ground. In a portable configuration of the transportation device, a body suspension apparatus rotates in line with a central down tube and a steering mechanism rotates adjacent the central down tube. A plurality of telescoping down tubes forming the central down tube are nested within one another to reduce the length of the central down tube.
