An attachable light accessory for a walker illuminates the forward and downward walking direction of an individual when using the walker. The light accessory includes a housing, a power source, and a plurality of light modules attached to the housing, a controller, and a plurality of sensors including a bump sensor, tip sensor, and light sensor. An adaptor mount is removeably attached to the light accessory, which may be attached to horizontal cross-member of the walker to allow the light accessory to be installed and retrofitted on any existing walker. The light accessory also includes a sound activated sensor for remotely activating the light accessory to help identify the location of the walker in dark areas, an audible alarm that is activated when the walker tips over, and other control and sensor features.

Embodiments of a smart mobility aid device may have sensors to collect, monitor, analyze and represent data including but not limited to activity tracking, biometrics and safety and emergency features. The activity tracking include number of steps, miles, and activity speed, user pressure on a device, activity types and analysis. The user biometric data includes but is not limited to blood work, blood pressure, blood sugar, heart rate, oxygen level/rate, ECG, EMG, muscle strain, humidity, UV, body temperature. Additional features include an emergency button, fall detection, warnings, and user pattern analysis changes. The mobility aid device is connected to other smart electronic device and/or the Internet using but not limited to Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and or/and SIM card. The device gives the user or/and caregiver live feedback about user health metrics and status using a data representation method.

An attachment apparatus for a crutch including a pair of horizontal supports, a rectangular attachment having a back side and a front side, and a pair of clips. The pair of horizontal supports includes an upper support and a lower support. A right end of each of the upper support and the lower support, and a left end of each of the upper support and the lower support are attached to a right side support of a crutch and a left side support of a crutch, respectively. The pair of clips includes an upper clip and a lower clip. Each of the upper clip and the lower clip has a female receptor and a male member. Each of the female receptors is disposed on each of the pair of horizontal supports, and each of the male members is disposed on the back side of the attachment.
摘要:
A suspension walker which may be weighted or unweighted is provided. The suspension walker includes a sole plate having a rocker bottom, a yoke portion and an extension leg attached to the yoke portion. A boot received by a patient's foot is operably coupled to the yoke portion by a first fastener and to an upper portion of the extension leg by a second fastener. An extension leg may be operably coupled at a hinge axis to an upper hinged portion. The hinge axis is configured to be aligned with the knee. A below the knee collar operably and securely couples the boot to the extension leg and the yoke portion. An above the knee collar operably secures the upper hinged portion to the patient's thigh.
