Disclosed is a multifunctional exercise chair for body stretching, comprising a wheelchair frame body, wherein a mounting frame is detachably mounted on an end of the wheelchair frame body away from the driving rear wheel and located under the seat cushion, a pedal gear is rotatably mounted at a bottom of the mounting frame and a pedal is provided thereon, a hand crank gear is rotatably mounted on a top of the mounting frame and a hand crank handle is provided thereon, a rotating shaft is provided between two driving rear wheels; a driven gear is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft, a supporting chain gear is mounted on the mounting frame and arranged adjacent to the pedal gear, and the hand crank gear, the pedal gear, the driven gear and the supporting chain gear are wound and connected by a transmission chain.

Gait analysis systems are provided with body support systems for user's self-adjustment of body weight force when ambulating with the body support systems. The gait analysis systems with the body support systems can be used with a treadmill or over a fixed surface for gait training and analysis with the ability to adjust the user's body weight force during the collection of gait data. Gait data for analysis is collected by an array of sensors mounted on the body support systems in various combinations for sensing gait movement, video imaging, heel strike and toe off states, video processing, feet pressure maps and electromyography.

An exercise apparatus that includes a handle frame and a base frame.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of an exercise apparatus. In certain embodiments, an exercise apparatus comprises a frame and a seat assembly, the seat assembly comprising a seat, the seat configured to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting in a wheelchair. The seat assembly may be pivotably coupled to the frame. The seat assembly may comprise a stop configured to inhibit movement of the seat, and may further comprise a biasing element that is biased to disengage the stop.

A portable and kinetic motion resistance upper body invention that can be used for a variety of exercises. This invention combines dial tension adjustment clutch sheaves, a variable linear tract bearing and a one piece resistance shock-cord, together these core components achieve a unique minimal impact work-out. The multi-motion and changeable adjustments for this invention, result in a wide variety of muscular stimulation and therapeutic exercises that are non-existent in the fitness and health industry. The outcome of the mechanism can be customized for a particular sport requirement or physio and other therapeutic restorations, or even for case specific industrial and robotic counter-balancing controls. This invention is can also be used as a lift-assist device.

A hippotherapy device includes a saddle for receiving a person thereon, a programmable movement control, and an automatic movement device for automatically moving the saddle according to a movement pattern program. The program specifies a sequence of target values of positions and orientations of the saddle in the locality of the movement device in order to execute the movement pattern. The hippotherapy device further includes a person securing device having a main support on which a body strap is mounted, at least one sensor for detecting at least one physical variable characterizing the body posture of the person on the saddle, and an auxiliary control device configured to compare expected values of the physical variable with current values of the physical variable detected by the sensor, and to trigger an associated safety function, if a deviation of the current values from the expected values exceeds a predetermined tolerance threshold.

An exercise apparatus that includes a handle frame and a base frame.

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.

Described herein are various embodiments of differential air pressure systems and methods of using and calibration such systems for individuals with impaired mobility. The differential air pressure systems may include an access assist device configured to help a mobility impaired user to stand in a pressure chamber configured to apply a positive pressure on a portion of the user's body in the sealed pressure chamber. The system may also include load sensors configured to measure the user's weight exerted inside and outside the chamber. The system may be calibrated by determining a relationship between the actual weight of the user and the pressure in the chamber, where the actual weight of the user may be measured by more than one load sensor and at least one load sensor is not in the pressure chamber.
