Exercise device with port
An exercise device comprising a base frame comprising one or more belt members, a front axle configured to interface with one of the belt members, a rear axle configured to interface with one of the belt members and a port disposed on an underside of the base.
Methods and apparatus for body weight support system
A body weight support system includes a tether configured to be coupled to an attachment device worn by a user to couple the user to the body weight support system. A method of providing gait training includes defining a reference length of the tether when the attachment device is in an initial position and defining a threshold length of the tether. A first amount of body weight support is provided during the gait training as the user moves relative to a surface and the length of the tether is less than the threshold length. A second amount of body weight support is provided during the gait training as the user moves relative to the surface and the length of the tether is greater than the threshold length. The method further includes displaying data associated with the gait training on a display of an electronic device.
CLIMBING WALL COMPRISING TRACK-BASED SUPPORT HARNESS
The present invention is directed to a climbing wall comprising a climbing surface and a climbing assistance assembly that provides a disabled child with an opportunity to utilize the climbing wall. The climbing assistance assembly comprises a track mounted above at least a portion of the climbing surface and spanning at least a portion of the length of the climbing surface. A trolley, from which a rope is suspended, is configured to travel along the track. The rope is coupled both to the trolley and to a harness. The climbing assistance assembly may further include a fall arrest device configured to lower an end of the rope coupled to the harness from an elevated position to a rest position in a controlled manner. Because the trolley is configured to travel with a user wearing the harness as the user traverses a length of the climbing surface, the fall arrest device is positioned substantially directly above the user throughout the user's climbing experience, ensuring that if the user falls, the descent will occur in a safe and controlled manner.
CONVERTIBLE MOBILE EXERCISER
The specification relates to a mobile exerciser. The mobile exerciser can include a mobile exerciser frame; a foot rest assembly attached to the mobile exerciser frame having a working position and a stored position; and a pedal assembly attached to the mobile exerciser frame having a working position and a stored position. The mobile exerciser can be converted from a push mode to a pedal mode by moving the foot rest assembly into a stored position and the pedal assembly into a working position and the mobile exerciser can be converted from a pedal mode to a push mode by moving the foot rest assembly into a working position and the pedal assembly into a stored position.
Exercise Apparatus and System for Stationary Users
Exercise equipment, particularly a linear movable structure and associated selectable elastic resistance bands with or without guide track members are designed to allow low-impact exercises for one or two persons at the same time while permitting either or both participants to remain stationary when utilizing the equipment.
SMART TRAINER
An exercise device includes a base, a first platform and a second platform. Both platforms move between a forward position and a rearward position along each own path relative to the base. The exercise device includes a flexible member operatively coupled with the first and second platforms. Furthermore, a resistance mechanism is coupled with the flexible member and configured to resist movement of at least one of the first platform and the second platform. The resistance mechanism includes a disc positioned parallel to the base and is configured to allow the disc to rotate relative to a vertical axis of the base. In addition, the flexible member is configured to allow the disc to rotate reciprocally in response to movement of the first platform or second platform.
Bowling ball launcher
A bowling ball launcher has a frame and a rail oriented from a front of the frame to a back of the frame. A push pad is configured to slide along the rail. An elastic mechanism is coupled to the push pad and extends toward the front of the frame. A winch is coupled to the push pad toward the back of the frame. The winch includes a motor, a winch wheel, and a cable extending from the winch wheel to the push pad. The winch also includes a clutch between the motor and winch wheel. A shock absorber is disposed near the front of the frame. A plurality of position sensors is attached to the frame along the rail. A power meter is configured to move the push pad to one of the position sensors by operation of the winch.
MOTORIZED ASSIST SYSTEM FOR WHEELCHAIR EXERCISE APPARATUS
Motorized assist systems are provided which are operable to assist in initiating and ceasing the rotation of rollers of wheelchair treadmill systems, and to provide resistance to user-applied forces to facilitate effective exercise. In some embodiments, the motorized assist system includes a driving motor mechanically connected to one or more rollers of a wheelchair treadmill and a sensor. The sensor is configured to detect a rotational force or a rotational velocity of the roller(s) of the wheelchair treadmill. The driving motor is configured to exert a driving force on the roller in response to a detected rotational force on the roller or in response to a detected rotational velocity of the roller.
WHEELCHAIR EXERCISE TILT AND DYNAMIC TERRAIN SIMULATION SYSTEM
Tilt and dynamic terrain simulation systems are provided which are couplable to a wheelchair treadmill and are configured to dynamically tilt the wheelchair during use of the wheelchair treadmill for simulating an uneven terrain condition. In some embodiments, the dynamic tilt system includes one or more elevation devices placed under a platform for tilting the platform of the wheelchair treadmill from a horizontal plane to a non-horizontal plane, and each of the one or more elevation devices is controllably adjustable to extend an adjustable support that is mounted to the platform between a first height and a second height. In some embodiments, each of the one or more elevation devices includes one or more actuators for controllably adjusting a height of the adjustable support between the first height and the second height.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT AND SCHEDULING OF DIFFERENTIAL AIR PRESSURE AND OTHER UNWEIGHTED OR ASSISTED TREATMENT SYSTEMS
Systems and methods for management and scheduling of differential air pressure (DAP) and other unweighted or assisted treatment systems are provided. The methods and systems can include generation of a suggested workout based on matching user data to data of other users sharing similar characteristics using an aggregate database of user information and related workout information. The methods and systems can include matching a user to an available and/or appropriate DAP system. Also provided are methods and systems including performing a workout and uploading performance information to an aggregate database of user information.
