EXERCISE CHAIR AND LOWER EXTREMITY EXERCISE SYSTEM
An exercise chair allows a user to perform a lower extremity exercise in a sitting position. The exercise chair includes: a seating portion configured to allow the user to sit on; a backrest configured to support the back of the user; and a support mechanism configured to support the backrest. The support mechanism is configured to support the backrest so as to allow the backrest to reciprocate to right and left and to rotate in roll.
PORTABLE ELLIPTICAL EXERCISE MACHINE
An exercise apparatus having a pulley, a pair of stabilizing assemblies each configured to couple a front portion of a respective pedal element to each side of the pulley, a looped belt configured to couple the pulley to a resistance assembly, a tension stabilizer configured to maintain a tension of the looped belt on the pulley, and the resistance assembly configured to assert an adjustable resistance to the pedal elements through the looped belt, where the resistance is adjusted by changing a distance between a flywheel element and a corresponding magnetic plate element of the resistance assembly, the magnetic plate asserting a magnetic force over the distance on the flywheel element and the looped belt looping around a co-rotating extension from the flywheel element.

GOLF CLUB HEAD INCLUDING MECHANICAL AND ADHESIVE JOINTS
A golf club head includes a metallic section, a polymeric section, and an adhesive material. The metallic section defines an opening and the polymeric section extends over the opening. The adhesive material is disposed between the metallic section and the polymeric section to form an adhesive joint therebetween. The adhesive joint has an adhesive retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section when the adhesive material is at least partially cured. The metallic section and the polymeric section are also mechanically engaged with one another to form a mechanical joint therebetween having a mechanical retaining strength configured to inhibit the polymeric section from being detached from the metallic section. The adhesive retaining strength of the adhesive joint, alone, is greater than the mechanical retaining strength of the mechanical joint, alone, only when the adhesive material is at least partially cured.
EXERCISE APPARATUS FOR USE WITH A WHEELCHAIR FOR EXERCISING LOWER LIMB
Disclosed is an exercise apparatus for use with a wheelchair (102) for exercising lower limb of a user. The exercise apparatus includes various mechanical attachments (104a, and 104b), housings (112a, and 112b), shafts (114a, and 114b), and pedals (116a, and 116b). The mechanical attachments (104a, and 104b) include various proximal ends (106a, and 106b) and distal ends (108a, and 108b). The proximal ends (106a, and 106b) are detachably attached to the wheels (110a, and 110b) of the wheelchair (102). The housings (112a, and 112b) are located at the distal ends (108a, and 108b) of the mechanical attachments (104a, and 104b). The shafts (114a, and 114b) are rotatably connected to the housings (112a, and 112b). The pedals (116a, and 116b) are attached to the shafts (114a, and 114b) to receive the feet of the user. The pedals (116a, and 116b) are operable to move circularly by the feet of the user seated on the wheelchair (102).
Attachable Rotary Range of Motion Rehabilitation Apparatus
An exercise and rehabilitation apparatus for exercising the extremity of a user wherein the position of the lever is adjustable. The apparatus includes a flywheel having a first side and a second side with a channel in the flywheel first side. The channel has a top edge near the planer surface of the flywheel first side. A lever, such as a pedal or handle, is combined with an adjustment member. The adjustment member is movable within the channel between a first position and a second position, however, the adjustment member cannot be removed from the channel through the slot/opening along its top edge. A locking pin is combined with the adjustment member and movable between an extended position and a retracted position, the locking pin is biased in its extended position. The flywheel includes a plurality of openings adapted to receive the locking pin when the locking pin is in its extended/locked position to secure the adjustment member at a particular location within the channel.
Recumbent hand and foot pedal exercise apparatus with seat accommodating a wheelchair
An exercise apparatus having a cabinet housing to which a telescopically and angularly moveable arm is mounted. A hand pedal assembly is mounted to the arm and drivingly linked to a resistance mechanism. A platform is telescopically mounted to the bottom of the cabinet, and a foot pedal assembly is adjustably mounted to the platform. A seat is mounted to the far end of the platform from the cabinet, and the platform can be moved so the seat, the foot pedal assembly, or at least portions of both, can be inserted into a chamber of the cabinet.
TRANSPORT APPRATUS
A transport apparatus includes a base, a sling, and a support frame mounted to the base. The frame is configured to move from a first position relative to the base to a second position relative to the base. The frame includes a U-shaped frame with a lower cross-frame member and vertically oriented spaced side frame members joined with the cross-frame member. The side frame members support arm rests, and the cross-frame member optionally forms a footrest. In another aspect, the frame includes an access opening to allow a person egress and ingress to and from the sling through the frame.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USE OF TELEMEDICINE-ENABLED REHABILITATIVE EQUIPMENT FOR PREDICTION OF SECONDARY DISEASE
A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, and a first computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user while the user uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one aspect of the treatment data pertaining to the user associated with a first treatment device mode of the treatment device; and, in response to a determination that the at least one aspect of the treatment data is correlated with at least one second condition of the user, generate second condition information indicating at least the second condition.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO TRANSFORM A MOTION PROFILE OF A MACHINE BASED ON CERTAIN CRITERIA
A computer-implemented system includes an electromechanical machine and a processing device communicatively coupled to motors. The processing device executes instructions to receive data comprising a treatment plan, wherein the treatment plan includes one or more prescribed exercises for a user to perform using the electromechanical machine; generate, based on the data and certain criteria, a motion profile for an assembly of the electromechanical machine, wherein the motion profile comprises a movement shape of one or more portions of the electromechanical machine; execute a transformation function to implement, using the electromechanical machine, a desired virtual apparatus model, wherein, to implement the desired virtual apparatus model, the transformation function maps the motion profile to one or more coordinates in a domain; and control, using the desired virtual apparatus model, the one or more motors of the electromechanical machine.
