Wheelchair exercise device
09993687 · 2018-06-12 · ·

A wheelchair exercise device comprising two assemblies, each assembly comprises: a seat plate; a longish pipe element; and a wide belt. The seat plate is L-shaped and made of hard material, the longish pipe element is flexible and has padding on its top side, the longish pipe element mounted onto ferrule or hole integrated approximately in the middle of the vertical edge of the L-shaped seat plate, the first end of the wide belt is attached to the longish pipe element and adjustable upwards, downwards and around the pipe of the longish pipe element, and the second end of the wide belt has hook and loop fastener. The two assemblies are adapted to be fastened onto each other by the hook and loop fasteners, and the assemblies are designed so that the combined measurement of both the width and length of the seat plates is smaller than the measurement of a wheelchair seat, thereby allowing the width and vertical adjustment of the location of the seat plates on the wheelchair seat.

Wheelchair Training System

A wheelchair training system that comprises: a platform (110) that receives the wheelchair; two elongated parallel rollers (250) that are mounted on the platform (110) and are in tangential contact with two rear wheels (150, 160) of the wheelchair such that the two rollers (250) spin when the two rear wheels (150,160) rotate; and a spinning resistance control system (300) mounted on the platform (110) includes a magnet (310) that moves in different positions so that an overlapping area between a magnetic field generated from the magnet (310) and end of the two rollers (250) varies due to the magnet (310) being moved to the different positions. The magnetic field of the magnet (310) induces an eddy current in the two rollers (250) and generates a resistive force against rotation of the two wheels (150,160).

Therapeutic striking and rehabilitation training system
09975028 · 2018-05-22 ·

A therapeutic striking and rehabilitation training system that provides rehabilitation and therapeutic training in a home environment for persons with disabilities from an accident, wounded veterans, from disabilities involving birth defects, or as part of a physical therapy program even for bed-ridden patients. A therapeutic striking and rehabilitation training system also improves conditioning and hand-eye coordination which is attached to a ceiling, or hung in a door opening using a bar, via a tether with a ball attached to the end of said tether. The ball is a given distance from the ceiling as determined by the user. Once the desired distance has been chosen, the user then strikes the ball with enough force for the ball to contact the ceiling and then begin a downward trajectory towards the user to be struck again.

Multipurpose golf tool

A multipurpose golf tool includes a mounting base that can be secured to the free end of a golf shaft at the golf grip. The mounting base is used to mount selected implements each having multiple capabilities for picking up or securing objects thereby enabling a golfer to retrieve and hold objects without having to kneel or bend over. The selected implements include various embodiments of a ball retrieving and holding cup in, a ball marker retrieving and holding implement, a flagstick pick-up implement, and a golf tee retrieving and holding implement. Multiple implements may be mounted to the mounting base in a stacked configuration, or the implements may be mounted individually.

FLOATATION DEVICE
20180127072 · 2018-05-10 ·

A floatation device is provided. In some embodiments, a floatation device is provided, comprising an inflatable ring composed of a transparent material, wherein the inflatable ring includes: an outer air chamber having a first valve for inflating the outer air chamber; an inner air chamber having a second valve for inflating the inner air chamber, wherein the outer air chamber and the inner air chamber are not in communication; a cut through the outer air chamber and the inner air chamber of the inflatable ring that forms opposing ends of the inflatable ring; and a plurality of fasteners placed on a top surface and a bottom surface of the outer or inner air chamber for detachably connecting the opposing ends of the inflatable ring.

MOBILITY DEVICE

A mobility device designed to extend the usable field of movement for people with physical limitations by allowing them to descend to the ground and ascend to an upright position with ease. A user may bring the device within their vicinity, grab onto the articulating handles and safely reach the ground to engage in a ground activity. When the ground activity is completed, the user simply grabs onto the sloping handholds and ascends step-by-step until they have made their way to a standing position. The device is portable and can be stowed around the home. It is likely to be close to the user at all times, thus it is a safe means of ensuring support when a caretaker is not present.

Walking training system, control method of same, and non-transitory storage medium
12151139 · 2024-11-26 · ·

A walking training system includes a treadmill, a center-of-gravity position detection unit that detects a center-of-gravity position of a trainee from a load received from a sole of the trainee on a belt of the treadmill, a posture detection unit that detects a posture of the trainee, a center-of-gravity position estimation unit that estimates the center-of-gravity position of the trainee from the detected posture of the trainee, a determination unit that determines whether a difference between the detected center-of-gravity position and the estimated center-of-gravity position exceeds a predetermined value, and a notification unit that sends, when the determination unit determines that the difference exceeds the predetermined value, a notification notifying that whether the difference exceeds the predetermined value.

MOBILE UPPER EXTREMITY (UE) SUPPORTS FOR USE IN RAILED ENVIRONMENTS: CROSSOVER ARM DESIGN ASSEMBLY AND UNILATERAL UE SUPPORT DESIGNS
20180093125 · 2018-04-05 ·

A patient aid assembly includes an upper extremity support assembly and a housing associated therewith. The housing slidingly engages a rail and allows relative movements therealong. First and second upper extremity support assemblies are received on first and second rails, respectively. An interconnecting member us hingedly connected to each of first and second housings that support the UE support assemblies.

INCLUSIVE PLAY PANELS AND PLAYGROUND STRUCTURES COMPRISING THE PANELS

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to play panels, and playground structures comprising such panels, that provide an interactive play activity for children. The play panels comprise at least a surface that is configured to provide an interactive element, a control unit, and a connection element configured to communicatively link an adaptive switch. A child may interact directly with one or more elements on the surface of the play panel to actuate the play activity. A child having a disability may also actuate the play activity using an adaptive switch that is communicatively connected to the play panel. In some embodiments, the control unit may be configured to operate the play activity differently depending on whether it is actuated by elements on the surface of the play panel or a connected adaptive switch.

PLAYGROUND CLIMBING STRUCTURES

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to playground climbing structures that provide a pathway defined by a lower surface and bound on each side by a sidewall. The structures may comprise sensory play activities on the interior of the sidewalls as well as on the exterior of the sidewalls. The climbing structure is also adapted so as to be accessible to children of varying physical abilities, including for instance children with disabilities, such as by having at least one platform configured for access from a wheelchair or other mobility device and incremental adjustments in elevation that may be navigated by a child with limited mobility. Embodiments of the climbing structures are assembled from a plurality of components, which can be connected together in a variety of configurations to provide custom modular structures.
