    摘要: Various features for improving the performance of crutches are provided. A handle can be contoured to match a shape of a hand. The handle can include a flexible portion to allow the handle to flex when gripped. In some aspects, the handle can include a shaft that receives a grip and locks the rotation of the grip. In some aspects, the handle can include a recess to receive an adapter that supports one or more items. A cuff of the crutch can be larger and narrower at one or more locations to offer varying levels of support along a forearm and wrist. The cuff can include a crutch support that allows the crutch to engage with a support. In some aspects, the cuff can include a rearward with particular friction properties. The cuff can include slots that allow for the height of the cuff to be adjusted.

    摘要: A crutch includes an arm rest having an elbow end and a front end, the front end defining a front face having a first opening formed therein, and a bottom edge forming a second opening. The crutch has a handle extending outwardly from the front end of the arm rest, but not from the first or second openings. A leg is received into one of the first and second openings in a first configuration, and into the other of the first and second openings in a second configuration. The leg is selectively convertible between the first and second configuration.

    摘要: The invention relates to a crutch accessory set for two crutches, which comprises: in duplicate, a single- or multi-part cover by which an arm guiding portion and a gripping portion of a crutch can be completely or partially covered, and a container arrangement to accommodate small parts. The container arrangement is composed of two individual containers which can be releasably connected to one another by means of connecting elements, wherein, if the individual containers are separated from one another, in each case one of the two individual containers can be releasably fastened by means of the connecting element to a respective one of the two covers, for which purpose corresponding connecting elements are arranged on each cover. The invention further relates to a kit for persons with impaired mobility, comprising two crutches (forearm crutches), and to a crutch accessory set according to the invention.

    摘要: A mobility aid in the form of a cuff crutch can be used in various configurations. The cuff crutch includes an arm cuff positioned at a distal end of a tube that is adjustably positioned into a main tube of the crutch. The main tube may be bent at an angle in a position below a mid-point thereof, that is, the bend is closer to the foot end of the main tube as opposed to the cuff end thereof. A foot tube may be adjustably positioned into the foot end of the main tube and a foot may be disposed on a distal end of the foot tube. By providing the various adjustments, the cuff crutch may be used as a cuff cane, a cuff crutch or a walking stick, as discussed herein. The cuff, grip, and foot may include designs that offer various improvements over conventional mobility aids.

    摘要: Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include one or more linkage devices that provide a mechanism to link the crutches together and provide restrictions on the range of motion, improving confidence and safety of the crutch devices. A first linkage device can be designed to attach to an upper portion of the crutch frame or at the axilla support to be placed along a user's back. A second linkage device can be designed to wrap about a waist area of a user and attach to a central portion of the crutch frame or at the grip region. The first and second linkages may be used singularly or in combination.

    摘要: Mobility aid devices, such as crutches, provide improved ergonomics, comfort and support for the user. The crutches can include a frame configuration where a main frame member includes a lower adjustment pole extending therefrom and a secondary pole is attached to a lower end of the main pole and extends upward therefrom. An axilla support may be supported by the main pole and the secondary pole. Typically, the axilla support may be supported by upper adjustment poles that adjustably telescope from the tops of the main pole and the secondary pole. The frame configuration, or a conventional frame, may be used in a crutch that can be convertible between a crutch, such as a cuff crutch, and a cane.

    摘要: A saddle for a crutch to assist a user in walking. The saddle comprises a frame having a support membrane disposed thereon, the frame and support membrane providing an inner lobe configured to rest against a torso of the user during use, an outer lobe configured to rest against an arm of the user during use, and a top portion connecting the inner lobe and the outer lobe and forming a U-shaped channel having an curved upper surface configured to fit within an armpit of the user with the U-shaped channel open along at least a portion of a downward facing side. A pivoting joint is attached. A spring mechanism having an upper portion is attached to the pivoting joint such that the joint is configured to allow the spring mechanism to move with respect to the frame along an arced path.
