| 20080287268 | Body Weight Support System and Method of Using the Same - A body-weight support system that allows individuals with severe gait impairments to practice over-ground walking in a safe, controlled manner is disclosed. The system includes a body-weight support system that rides along a driven trolley and can be controlled in response to the movement of the subject using the system. | 11-20-2008 |
| 20090156372 | VARIABLE UNWEIGHTING AND RESISTANCE TRAINING AND STRETCHING APPARATUS FOR USE WITH A CARDIOVASCULAR OR OTHER EXERCISE DEVICE - A device for variably unweighting or unloading and performing resistance exercises and stretches while performing cardiovascular exercises on a cardiovascular exercise machine or other exercise device, including a plurality of exercise elements at different locations above the machine or device, the exercise elements being graspable individually or in a selected number and resiliently extended in a variety of directions for reducing forces applied against movable elements of the exercise machine or device and for performing a variety of resistance exercises and stretches. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090298653 | POWERED MOBILE LIFTING, GAIT TRAINING AND OMNIDIRECTIONAL ROLLING APPARATUS AND METHOD - A powered mobile lifting, gait training and omnidirectional rolling apparatus is for personal use by persons with lower body disabilities for assisted walking in upright position in desired direction indoor or outdoor. All operations including bringing the apparatus to a user, ingress, walking around and egress are performed by users without assistance of other persons. The apparatus lifts a user from a floor, wheelchair or elevated surface, its overall size enables motion through narrow doorways or other passageways, and omnidirectional wheels provide top maneuverability. Rotation of powered omnidirectional wheels is coordinated with motion of gait simulation devices which drive user's feet, resulting in simulated natural walking pattern. The apparatus comprises a rigid ‘U’-shaped base integrating a powered lifting and supporting device, powered gait simulation devices, step length setup devices, powered omnidirectional wheels with brakes, retractable support mechanisms, control, monitoring, communication and recording means, a power supply block, and a harness. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20110294626 | REHABILITATION SUPPORT APPARATUS - The present invention provides an overhead support apparatus for assisting a user while performing rehabilitation physical activities and includes a track assembly supported by the ceiling and a suspension device that depends from the track assembly and is attached to the user so that the apparatus acts to prevent the user from falling down during physical activities. The suspension assembly includes a trolley adapted to traverse the track assembly, a locking snap assembly attached to the trolley and associated with a swivel, and an adjustable lanyard that is connected to the swivel at one end and to a body harness at its opposite end, which body harness has straps for encircling the torso and legs of a user. | 12-01-2011 |
| 20130137553 | WALKING TRAINING APPARATUS - Provided is a walking training apparatus including: a walking-assist robot which is worn on a lower half of a body of a walking trainee; a treadmill which has a tread plate moving at a predefined speed which the walking trainee walks on; a load pulling unit which holds a body of the walking trainee upward; and a controller which controls driving of the walking-assist robot, the treadmill, and the load pulling unit, wherein the load pulling unit includes: a harness which is worn on the body of the walking trainee; a main rope which is connected to the harness; a driving motor which operates to pull the main rope so as to pull the harness upward; and a counter-load weight plate unit which applies a counter-load to the walking trainee. Accordingly, the load pulling unit pulls a patient, and a counter-load is appropriately set according to a state of the patient or a purpose of a therapy, so that it is possible to prevent the patient from falling during the waling training, and it is possible to effectively perform rehabilitation training of the patient. | 05-30-2013 |
| 20150320632 | APPARATUS FOR UNLOADING A USER'S BODY WEIGHT DURING A PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF SAID USER, PARTICULARLY FOR GAIT TRAINING OF SAID USER - The invention relates to an apparatus ( | 11-12-2015 |
| 20150342820 | WALK TRAINING APPARATUS AND WALK TRAINING METHOD THEREOF - A walk training apparatus includes a walking assist device, a first tensile portion, and a second tensile portion. The walking assist device is configured to be attached to a leg of a user so as to assist the user in walking. The first tensile portion pulls at least one of the walking assist device and the leg of the user toward a vertically upper side and toward a front side. The second tensile portion pulls at least one of the walking assist device and the leg of the user toward the vertically upper side and toward a rear side. | 12-03-2015 |
| 20150366741 | SUSPENDED BABY WALKER - A suspended baby walker for attaching to a ceiling and allowing vertical and restricted horizontal movement along a suspended track comprises a seat assembly defined as a conventional baby jumper seat, a suspension assembly having a pole portion a suspension connector, and a jumper rope, a mounting assembly defined by a strap connector, a mounting strap and a mounting bracket, and a mounting track which is attached to the ceiling. The seat assembly is rollably attached to the mounting track through the connection of the seat assembly to the suspension assembly, the suspension assembly to the mounting assembly, and the mounting assembly to the mounting track. In operation, a child disposed in the seat assembly can move the seat assembly horizontally back and forth along the length of the mounting track and can jump vertically without placing excess stress on the components due to the elastic nature of the jumper rope. | 12-24-2015 |
| 20160158088 | Suspension-Based Walking Assistance Aide Apparatus - A walking assistance device configured to permit the independent movement of an individual via simulated weight reduction is described. The device is configured to partially suspend a portion of a user's weight via a suspension system, facilitating the movement of a user with experiencing difficulty walking without assistance. The suspension system of the device preferably employs at least one cable in communication with a pulley system, an electric lifting actuator, and a harness. The harness of the device is configured to affix to the legs and torso of the user, and connects to at least one cable of the pulley system via at least one hook. The lifting actuator engages the pulley system, enabling the user to control the percentage of weight lifted. A frame houses the suspension system of the device, and is configured to move laterally via wheels on the bottom of the frame of the device. | 06-09-2016 |
