PEDAL EXERCISER
A pedal exerciser includes a worm shaft meshed with a worm wheel. A crank drives rotation of the worm wheel through two pedals. A rotary disc assembly is journaled to and rotatable with the worm shaft. The rotary disc assembly has a conductive member that is non-magnetizable and that is rotatable around an axis of the worm shaft. A magnetic assembly is disposed near the conductive member and has a magnet facing the conductive member. The magnet produces a drag force to resist an exercising force when the conductive member is rotated to move past the magnet. An adjustment assembly moves the magnetic assembly toward or away from the rotary disc assembly to vary the magnitude of the drag force.
Method and system for enabling physician-smart virtual conference rooms for use in a telehealth context
A computer-implemented system includes a treatment device configured to be manipulated by an individual while the individual performs a treatment plan, a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session, and a computing device configured to: identify two or more types of healthcare providers to participate during the telemedicine session in the treatment plan associated with the individual; identify at least one healthcare provider associated with each of the two or more types of the healthcare providers; identify, based on schedules of the identified at least one healthcare provider, one or more available time slots for each respective healthcare provider; identify a first time slot of the available time slots; generate, based on the first time slot, a schedule event; and communicate the schedule event to each of the identified healthcare providers.
Bicycle-type exercise apparatus
An exercise apparatus includes a ring rotatably supported within a frame. First and second pedals are supported on first and second pedal shafts, and each pedal shaft is pivotally attached to the ring. Each pedal may be pivotal from a folded position wherein the pedal shaft lies on a radius of the ring, to a deployed position wherein the pedal shaft is perpendicular to a plane defined by the ring. Each pedal has a lock out device for holding the pedal in the unfolded position. The apparatus has no central hub or axle. Foldable or removable legs or supports, if used, may be attachable to the frame, or made part of the frame, for holding the frame in an upright position when the apparatus is in use. The exercise apparatus is compact and lightweight.
Method and system for creating an immersive enhanced reality-driven exercise experience for a user
A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, a patient interface. and a computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user who uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one enhanced component using the treatment data; generate an enhanced environment using the at least one enhanced component and the treatment plan; output at least one aspect of the enhanced environment to at least one of the patient interface and another interface; receive subsequent treatment data pertaining to the user; and selectively modify at least one of the enhanced environment and at least one of the at least one aspect of the treatment plan and any other aspect of the treatment plan using the subsequent treatment data.
Apparatus for training a person's lower and/or upper extremities
It is provided an apparatus for training a person's lower and/or upper extremities, comprising at least two motion elements which are arranged on a base element, wherein the motion elements each have an axis of rotation around which an actuating element can be moved. The motion elements each are independently movable relative to the base element about a first axis of movement, wherein the first axis of movement extends substantially perpendicular to an extension surface of the base element. Each motion element has a separate drive in order to rotate the actuating elements about the axis of rotation, and that the apparatus includes a control element which can individually actuate each drive in order to provide for a movement of each drive independent of a movement of another drive.
Exercise cycle
An exercise cycle includes a crankshaft, cranks mounted to the crankshaft, a drive mechanism including a ferromagnetic flywheel that rotates in response to rotation of the crankshaft, and a non-contact force adjustment mechanism with which a force required to rotate the flywheel can be adjusted, the force adjustment mechanism including a pivotable member to which magnets are mounted, wherein the magnets can be moved closer to the flywheel when the pivotable member is pivoted toward the flywheel to increase the force required to rotate the flywheel and can be moved farther away from the flywheel when the pivotable member is pivoted away from the flywheel to decrease the force required to rotate the flywheel.
System and method for use of telemedicine-enabled rehabilitative hardware and for encouraging rehabilitative compliance through patient-based virtual shared sessions with patient-enabled mutual encouragement across simulated social networks
In one embodiment, a computer-implemented system includes a treatment apparatus configured to be manipulated by a user while performing an exercise session, patient interfaces associated with users, and a server computing device configured to receive treatment data pertaining to the user, determine whether at least one characteristic of the user matches at least one second characteristic of a second user, where the second user belonging to a cohort. Responsive to determining the at least one characteristic of the user matches the at least one second characteristic of the second user, the server computing device is configured to assign the user to the cohort and select, via a trained machine learning model, a treatment plan for the user. Responsive to transmitting a signal to the patient interfaces of users in the cohort, the server computing device enables the patient interfaces to establish the virtual shared session between the patient interfaces.
Elliptical Exercise Apparatus
A portable elliptical exercise apparatus where movement of the right pedal or left pedal defines an ellipse having an ellipse width and ellipse height, where the ellipse height can be incrementally varied according to the pedal surface location of a left foot or right foot on a corresponding left pedal or right pedal.
Portable elliptical exercise machine, resistance band extension, and transport mechanism
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. The exercise apparatus also comprises a resistance band extension for performing additional exercise using resistance bands and a transport mechanism for transporting the exercise apparatus and securing the exercise apparatus to a chair wheel or other structure during exercise.
