A handle tube assembly may comprise a handle tube 104 containing a resistance plug 101 in frictional attachment to a outer cap 103, plug seal 107 and other components. A center tube assembly may comprise, at either end, a return bumper 201, low friction linear bushing 202, center cap 203, extend bumper 205 and other components.

The training device for chewing and swallowing can be used by patients who have difficulty chewing and/or swallowing to assist them to learn how to chew and swallow. The device includes a bolus delivery cylinder and a plunger. The bolus delivery cylinder can include a cylindrical housing having a peripheral wall and a hollow interior. The plunger can be slidably received in the cylindrical housing and secured thereto. In some embodiments the peripheral wall can be perforated. The interior of the housing is configured to accommodate small pieces of food. The bolus delivery cylinder can be made from a transparent, flexible material, such as silicon.

A grip assembly has a core having a longitudinal axis and anchor interfaces on opposite ends, an exercise band with elastic properties, one end furled around the core, and the other, loose end extending away from the core, and a keeper strap having attachment interfaces at opposite ends compatible with the anchor interfaces of the core, the attachment interfaces engaged to the ancho interfaces of the core, the keeper strap spanning the length of the core, intimately contacting the furled exercise band. The keeper strap constrains the furled exercise band from unfurling.

A training device is provided for training a foot using the device. The training device includes a fulcrum placed at a center and four projections that project in different directions from the fulcrum. Each of the four projections have elastic members that are bendable. The training device is configured to improve foot muscle strength by bending and stretching the elastic members. At least two of the four projections have different degrees of elasticity in flexure as determined when a force is applied to a distal end of each of the at least two projections to bend the elastic members. The four projections project in cross directions from the fulcrum at the center. Each pair of projections that oppose each other across the fulcrum are arranged on a straight line.

A facial exercise apparatus for facial muscle and bone resistance training and method of use. The facial exercise apparatus includes one or more flexor arms and a mouthpiece stabilizer, each connected to a flexor head connector. The flexor arm(s) extend upward, downward, left or right from the flexor head connector, have contours to place the patient's lips, and provide a resistance force outward from the flexor head connector. In use, a patient places and bites down upon the mouthpiece stabilizer, places a portion of their lips along a contoured portion of one or more of the flexor arms, and pushes their lips toward the center of the flexor head connector against the resistance of the flexor arm(s). When done at regular intervals and increasing resistances, the apparatus can strengthen a patient's facial muscles and bone and reduce the cosmetic appearance of wrinkles on their face.

A physical therapy system including a boot assembly, a track assembly and a communications assembly is disclosed. The boot assembly includes a boot that is worn on the foot of the user with the knee that requires treatment. The boot includes a cushioned sole provided by a sponge within the boot. The sponge being entirely enclosed by a cover. The track assembly includes a track on which the boot is maneuvered on. The boot and the track having a low friction coefficient to allow the boot to easily slid on the track. The user may maneuver the boot in a manner that rehabilitates their knee. Within the boot is the communication assembly which includes a processor and sensors to gather data from the usage of the boot. The collected data is communicated to a mobile device allowing a user to track their therapy sessions and progress.

A knee rehabilitation system includes a plurality of compressible resistance members, a knee garment, and a resistance member receptacle. Each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members has (i) a same size and a shape as each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, and (ii) a compression resistance different from each other compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members. The knee garment has a knee garment ventral portion and a knee garment dorsal portion. The resistance member receptacle is coupled to the knee garment dorsal portion, and the resistance member receptacle is sized to carry each compressible resistance member in the plurality of compressible resistance members, one at a time.

Embodiments of the innovation relate to a jaw range of motion device that includes a conical base having a first end and a second end and a helical ridge carried by the conical base and disposed between the first end and the second end. The helical ridge and the conical base define a channel between adjacent helical ridge portions. The jaw range of motion device also includes a handle disposed at the second end of the conical base. When a user inserts the jaw range of motion device between his teeth, the user can apply a self-directed manual force to the device by generating a twisting motion on the handle to provide an incremental jaw range of motion.

A perineometer device for providing accurate biofeedback, comprising a cap (1) coupled to a tubular member (11), at least one first finger (9a) and at least one plate (18) or at least one second finger (9b) and at least one force sensing resistor (17), at least one plate (18) or force sensing resistor (17) disposed internally and parallel to the at least one finger (9a, 9b), at least one battery (15) for applying an electrical potential difference to the at least one first finger (9a) and the at least one plate (18), a means for measuring capacitance therefrom or the at least one force sensing resistor (17) to measure force applied to the at least one second finger (9b) and a processor connected to the means of applying an electrical potential difference and measuring capacitance or connected to the at least one force sensing resistor (17).
