An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.

A weightlifting exercising system includes a frame having a pair of columns. A pair of lifting assemblies is provided and each of the columns has one of the lifting assemblies mounted thereon. The lifting assemblies each include a mount and an axle extending through the mount and rotational relative to the mount. A first arm is fixedly attached to the axle. A second arm is rotationally coupled to the axle. A lift angle is defined between the first and second arms and is alterable from 0° to 180°. A locking member releasably locks the second arm with respect to the axle such that the lift angle is releasably retained. One of the first and second arms has a handle attached thereto and the other of the first and second arms has a weight receiver attached thereto. One or more weight plates is removably positionable on the weight receiver.

A method and apparatus for automated arm training includes at least one therapeutic device that includes a handle, a sensor assembly, and a display. The handle is configured to move along a path. The sensor assembly is configured to provide a measured time series made up of multiple handle location measurements at a corresponding multiple of measured time instances. The display is configured to present an image based on the measured time series. A robot motor can be configured to keep the handle moving near a tolerance of a target trajectory.

The present application provides a fitness resistance band. The fitness resistance band includes a handle assembly and a resistance band body, where the handle assembly includes a handle body and sleeve rings, first connecting parts are further disposed on the sleeve rings, and the resistance band body is connected to the first connecting parts. The handle assembly is provided with the handle body and the sleeve rings, the sleeve rings can rotate relative to the handle body. In use, the resistance band body can rotate together with the sleeve rings, so that relative rotation occurs between the sleeve rings and the handle body, friction between the resistance band body and the handle body is avoided, and the resistance band body is protected from wear.

In an example, a bed exercise system is described. The bed exercise system includes a foot pad, a first elastic connector having a first end coupled to a first lateral side of the foot pad and a second end, and a second elastic connector having a first end coupled to a second lateral side of the foot pad and a second end. The bed exercise system also includes an anchor coupled to the second end of the first elastic connector and the second end of the second elastic connector. The anchor is configured to fasten, at a fixed position relative to a bed, the second end of the first elastic connector and the second end of the second elastic connector while (i) the foot pad is moved between a first position and a second position relative to a bed, and (ii) a tension on the first elastic connector and a tension on the second elastic connector increases as the foot pad moves from the first position to the second position.

An adjustable or non-adjustable exercise/Pilates/Yoga bar apparatus comprising a portable fitness device where a first horizontal elongated bar is attached to a second horizontal elongated bar or can have a variation of single bar, having multiple plastic tubes on each side of a single weight where each elastic tube has different resistance weight and when in use the assembly sits on top of the user's shoulders, and has the variation of an adjustable strap or a non-adjustable strap with a hook on each end of the bar, to which the elastic tubes attach to. At the other bottom end of each elastic tube, there is a ring to where the hook on the wide foot strap attaches to provide stability.

A smart box system may include a smart box device. The smart box device may include a top portion, elongated side portions, and side portions. The top portion may include a top set of locking elements configured to mate with an external device to prevent the external device from moving relative the top portion of the smart box device. The elongated side portions may attach to the top portion. The side portions may selectively attach to distal ends of the elongated side portions.

A training device may include a left-side actuator to receive a user's left-sided force at a proximate end thereof; a right-side actuator to receive a user's right-sided force at a proximate end thereof; and a fulcrum that may be attached equidistant to a distal end of the left-side actuator and a distal end of the right-side actuator, to facilitate equal application of force from the user on the left actuator and the right actuator.

A fitness tool for a user to use in performing stretching or other fitness activities may include a first member including (i) a first elongated shaft, the first elongated shaft including a first interface feature on a first end of the first elongated shaft, and (ii) a handle disposed at the second end. A second member may include a second elongated shaft, where the second elongated shaft may include a second interface feature at a first end of the second elongated shaft. The first and second interface features, when longitudinally engaged with one another, may enable the first and second shafts to rotate relative to one another. The second elongated shaft may include a hand or foot engagement mechanism.

A fitness apparatus for training the human body includes a support member having a fastening member arranged at a first end of the support member for fastening the support member to an overhead support structure, preferably to a ceiling of a room. The fitness apparatus includes a weight bar for receiving weights having a free end and a mounted portion and a bearing member receiving the mounted portion and connects the weight bar to a second end of the support member which is opposite the first end. The weight bar is movable in at least two planes including a plane which extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis y of the support member and a plane in which the longitudinal axis y of the support member extends. The support member has a length L.sub.H of at least 100 cm.
