A prosthetic foot can allow a user to engage in different activity levels, for example, walking and running using the same prosthetic foot. The prosthetic foot can have an elongate sole member, a first upper member, and a second pre-compressed upper member such that a distal end of the second upper member is biased toward the first upper member. A spacer between the distal ends of the first and second upper members can facilitate sliding of the distal end of the second upper member during ambulation to vary the stiffness of the foot. The spacer can also improve the lever arm length of the second upper member by maintaining a gap between the first and second upper members throughout ambulation.

The utility model discloses a hand-push type upper limb balance training vehicle, and relates to the field of rehabilitation instruments. The electric bicycle comprises a bicycle frame, a horizontal sensor, a controller, a voice player and a storage battery are integrated on the upper portion of the bicycle frame, a supporting arm is further hinged to the upper portion of the bicycle frame, a handle is hinged to the free end of the supporting arm, a balance wheel and auxiliary wheels are rotationally arranged on the lower portion of the bicycle frame, and the auxiliary wheels are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the balance wheel and have the lifting freedom degree. Counterweight mounting positions are further arranged on the two sides of the balance wheel. The training vehicle has the advantages that the balance weight difference is manufactured on the two sides of the training vehicle, continuous strength output of the side, with the weak strength, of the upper limb of a patient is stimulated, the balance state of the training vehicle in the advancing process is maintained, therefore, the efficient training effect is achieved, and in the training process, the training interestingness is improved through voice interaction.

An ambulatory protective device is configured to be worn on a person's foot who has a foot condition, such as a diabetic foot condition. The ambulatory protective device includes an insole which has viscoelastic inserts located and otherwise disposed relative to non-viscous polymeric foam strata to create zones or areas on the insole characterized by reduced force or contact pressure when subjected to forces from the foot during ambulation when the ambulatory protective device is worn. Such contact-pressure reducing areas are located in the heel area and the forefoot area of the device. The ambulatory protective device, equipped with such insole, may be in the form of a shoe, boot, brace, cast, or walker, such as a CAM walker.
