A mouse-type rehabilitation exercise device includes a mouse body on which a hand is mounted, a wheel moving the mouse body, a first motor aligning a position of the wheel such that the mouse body moves to a desired direction, a second motor rotating the wheel such that the wheel aligned by the first motor moves to a desired position, a clutch disposed between the second motor and the wheel to enable and disable a power transmitting to the wheel from the second motor, and a controller controlling a driving of the first motor, the second motor, and the clutch.

A resistance system, which can be suitable for incorporation in exercise equipment, is a hybrid resistance assembly having at least a first and a second resistance unit. The first resistance unit can be of a first type and the second resistance unit can be of a second type. The first resistance unit can be an inertial resistance unit, which incorporates an inertial load that creates resistance influenced by the inertia of a movable mass, such as a rotatable flywheel. The second resistance unit can be a static or non-inertial resistance unit, such as a displacement resistance unit, which incorporates a load that creates resistance influenced by displacement (e.g., linear or rotational displacement) of an input to the displacement resistance unit.

An exercise apparatus has an arrangement of strategically placed attachment points on a wall structure, floor and ceiling that enables easy attachment and detachment of a variety of resistance devices (e.g., a handheld and/or inline cable operated resistance creation device, or a stretch band resistance device) to any of the vertical and/or horizontal structures, thereby providing a nearly 360 degree dimensional point of resistance to perform a wide variety of exercises for different muscle groups and subgroups of the body. In one embodiment, an adjustable resistance creation device includes a cable that winds onto a cable spool and the adjustable resistance creation device providing a constant force of resistance throughout the performance of an exercise movement as the cable is pulled and unwinds from the spool. The adjustable resistance creation device may be incorporated within a gym grip or, alternatively, attached to an exercise machine.

An exercise apparatus includes a base plate; a weight horn that extends from the base plate along a weight horn axis transverse to the base plate; and a restraint assembly that extends from the base plate along a restraint assembly axis transverse to the base plate.

An exercise apparatus is provided having a handle pivotally attached to a flat base, the base and handle each configured for receiving optional weights, the flat base providing resistance when the handle moves the base along a surface.

A weighted exercise slide device for use in performing a variety of exercise routines is comprised of a weight plate encapsulated within a layer of high density polyethylene. The upper surface of the device may be provided with a plurality of small shear connectors for aid in securing a gripping surface comprised of a layer of soft or friction enhanced material. The weight plate is of a standard overall dimension but the weight of the weight plate may be altered to allow for manufacture of a plurality of differently weighted exercise slide devices of a uniform shape and size from a single mold.
