EXERCISER
An exerciser has a frame, a driving assembly, a damping assembly, and a linkage assembly. The frame has a base and a rear supporting rod. The driving assembly is mounted on the frame and has two swinging rods, two sprockets, two chains, and two resilient members. The swinging rods are connected to the rear supporting rod. The two sprockets are mounted rotatably on the rear supporting rod. The two chains are respectively engaged with the two sprockets. The two resilient members are connected respectively to the chains. The damping assembly is mounted on the rear supporting rod and is connected to the driving assembly to provide a damping effect to the two sprockets. The linkage assembly is connected between the base of the frame and the two swinging rods to allow the two swinging rod to respectively swing in reverse directions.
FIXTURE ASSEMBLY AND METHOD FOR POSITIONING APPENDAGE FOR DIGITAL SCANNING
Provided herein is an adjustable fixture assembly for supporting an appendage of a patient, such as a foot and/or leg, in a desirable position to allow for a comprehensive scan of the appendage. The adjustable fixture assembly comprising a base, a support member, and a platform. A ball joint secures a first end of the support member to the based and a second end of the support member is coupled to the platform. The adjustable fixture assembly is configured to support the foot and/or leg of a patient on the platform, which is configured to pivot about three degrees of freedom relative to the base. The adjustable fixture assembly can optionally include a harness assembly for manually manipulating the position and orientation of the platform and a foot support assembly to engage with the heal of the foot to further support the patient's foot and/or leg on the platform.

Exercise chair utilizing an adjustable resistance band system
An exercise chair includes a chair frame, and a base fixed with the chair frame that is adapted to support the exercise chair on a floor surface. The base and chair frame have a plurality of anchors projecting away therefrom. A cushion may cover at least a portion of the frame. Multiple resistance bands each have multiple longitudinal slots therethrough, each adapted for selective fixing with any of the anchor knobs or several attachable exercise devices. In use, with the person seated in the chair and the chair resting on the support surface, one or two of the resistance bands can be fixed with any of the anchor knobs, so that the person can exercise by pushing and/or pulling the at least one resistance band. Different types of attachments are included for exercising varying muscle groups.
