Described is a patient transfer mattress for lifting and transferring patients. The patient transfer mattress can be used in a gentle and pressure ulcer preventative approach. Also described is a method for lifting and/or transferring a patient using a patient transfer mattress.

Disclosed is a footrest assembly for use with a wheelchair. The footrest assembly includes a platform, and a plurality of strap fasteners. The platform is configured to support the feet of a wheelchair occupant. The platform includes a top surface that includes a female strip with a plurality of hooks. The wheelchair includes a male strip with a plurality of loops placed under a seat of the wheelchair. The plurality of hooks and the plurality of loops are removably latch onto one another when the female strip and the male strip are pressed together. Each of the strap fasteners having a plurality of proximal ends detachably attached with a vertical frame of the wheelchair, and a plurality of distal ends detachably attached with the platform to hold the platform above a ground surface.

Moving an individual with limited mobility from one seated position to another requires a significant effort from the caregiver and can expose the individual and the caregiver to several injuries. The rotational support apparatus is useful in safely assisting individuals with limited mobility to move from one seated position to another with minimal effort. The apparatus is lightweight and portable. The base of the apparatus rotates so the caregiver can easily move the position of the individual. The base can be coupled with a stabilizing device that the individual with limited mobility can hold on to while the caregiver rotates them to another position.

Systems, methods, and devices for seat elevation includes a base and a horizontal seat portion. Vertical supports attached to the seat portion include multiple lift angle holes that allow the seat to be elevated to different lifted angles. Elongate members pivotally connect to vertical supports. The elongate members attach via one of the multiple lift angle holes. The elongate members are able to attach to different lift angle holes. The lifted angle is determined by the first one of the at least two seat position holes. A lift generator is attached to the base and extends to lift the horizontal seat portion into the lifted position. The lift generator contracts to return the horizontal seat portion to the seated position.

A walker adapted for attachment to a wheelchair may be used to assist a user with walking while retaining the wheelchair in close proximity behind the user for use when the user needs to sit. The walker may be removably attached to the frame of the wheelchair for easy exchange of use from one wheelchair to another. A pivotable, removably attachable gate between two lateral frame members may allow for the walker to be manipulated from a walking position to a stored position. The gate may include an extendable width to allow for use with wheelchairs of different widths. A frame of the walker may be extendably attached to the wheelchair, thereby allowing the user to extend and retract the walker between the walking position and the stored position.

A multifunctional wheelchair contains: a body, a support plate, a lifting seat, and a shampoo basin. The body includes a retractable mounting, a chair back, at least one drive device, and two frames. The two frames have two main wheels, the two frames have two guide wheels, and the two armrests are arranged on a second drive device. A respective armrest has an abutting portion, and the retractable mounting have two racks. The support plate is detachably engaged on the retractable mounting of the body. The lifting seat is removably engaged on the retractable mounting of the body, and the lifting seat includes a saddle on a third drive device which is configured to drive the saddle to lift or descend adjustably. The shampoo basin is detachably connected on the chair back and included a washing chamber.

A bench assembly that stretches and develops the quadriceps femoris and/or hip flexors muscle groups of a client with the help of a therapist or trainer. The bench assembly has a basal subassembly with a front member that faces the therapist. Extending rearwardly from the front member is a first side member. A rear member extends laterally from the first side member. Each of the front and rear members have an upwardly oriented column that extends from a bottom rail of the associated member. The columns underlie a client support pad on which the client may lie recumbent and face upwardly with his/her legs positioned towards the front member before a trainer applies a stretching regimen to the legs and/or hips.

An adjustable breast pumping flange is provided. The breast pumping flange allows for adjustment of the flange angle relative to a bottle to which the flange connects. This allows for a nursing mother to more comfortably position the flanges and bottles during a pumping session. This increased comfort in turn allows for improved and more efficient milk collection.

A pedal wheel accessory (2) and bracket (19) for attaching such a wheeled device to a wheelchair (1), the bracket having an elongated bar (20) having a top and bottom end with a connecting collar (7) at the top end for attachment to the post (6) of the wheeled device and a T-connector (8) at the bottom end of the elongated bar for attachment to a wheelchair, said T-connector having a crossbar (21) with clamps (9) at each end for attachment to bars (18) on the chassis of a wheelchair.

A standing aid for helping a person stand up is proposed, having a frame, at least one support arm arranged movably on the frame and with handles, and a drive device coupled to the frame and to the at least one support arm in order to move the at least one support arm to a lowered and to a raised position, and having at least one padded rest configured to support the shins of the person during the movement of the at least one support arm. The padded rest is formed from a viscoelastic foam with a thickness of at least 6 cm and is dimensioned in such a way that the person's kneecaps at all times bear on the padded rest during the movement of the support arm.
