A system and method for a container for exercise mats that operates as a massage roller which has a quick and easy to use closure and a carrying system that does not impede the self-myofascial release process and is used for carrying the container.

Stretching/massage system, apparatus and method
11090217 · 2021-08-17 · ·

A vibrating roller that can be used for a stretching regimen/massage after exercise. A user may input a user profile (height, weight, fitness level) and the exercise and intensity level of the vibration desired. The roller can determine the appropriate vibration regime/massage and intensity of vibration and vibration duration that results in an effective recovery from the exercise.

HYBRID SPRING AND MASS COUNTERBALANCING ORTHOTIC

An upper torso augmentation device in which a moment of an arm assembly is tunable by the movement of one or more movable masses. The upper torso augmentation device including an upper arm assembly pivotably coupled to a shoulder assembly, the upper arm assembly including an assisted force mechanism configured to aid in counteracting an effect of gravity upon the upper arm assembly and any payload carried thereby, the assisted force mechanism comprises one or more movable masses configured to move relative to a distal end of the upper arm assembly, thereby affecting a change in a moment of the upper arm assembly.

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.

Balance and walking trainer

A Balance and Walking Trainer for improving the ability to walk, particularly for relearning to walk, which includes a base frame, three pairs of wheel casters, one front pair, one center pair aligned centrally with the user, and one rear pair, which is smaller in diameter than the front and center pairs and which floats above the ground. The Balance and Walking Trainer further comprises two pairs of telescoping risers affixed essentially vertical and also perpendicular to the base frame, wherein the first pair of telescoping risers are aligned substantially with the center wheels. In order for correct body mechanics to be maintained, a user may “scoop” his hands onto the handles to operate the Balance and Walking Trainer with correct body mechanics. The second pair of telescoping risers is aligned posterior to the first telescoping risers and a U-shaped bumbar is releasably attached to provide structure and stability to the Balance and Walking trainer and to provide a seat for the user or to provide a means to catch the user if user should fall backwards while operating the invention.

Leg exoskeleton system and method

A fluidic exoskeleton system. The system can include one or more fluidic actuator units that have: a joint; a first and second arm coupled to the joint; an inflatable bellows actuator extending between a first and second plate associated with the joint, the inflatable bellows actuator defining a bellows cavity, the inflatable bellows actuator configured to extend along a length of the bellows actuator when inflated by introducing fluid into the bellows cavity; and one or more constraint ribs extending from the joint and surrounding portions of the bellows actuator along the length of the bellows actuator.

WALKING ASSISTANCE SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR

To provide a walking assistance system having a simple configuration with which a walking motion of a user can be appropriately assisted and a method therefor. The walking assistance system according to the present embodiments is a walking assistance system worn on a leg part of a user and includes a damper configured to apply a resisting force in a bending direction of a knee joint of the leg part, a sensor configured to detect a switching timing in a gait cycle of the user, and a control unit configured to switch modes of the damper in accordance with the switching timing so that a first mode and a second mode in which the resisting force is stronger than that in the first mode are repeated alternately.

EXERCISE RESISTANCE BAND WITH SILICONE MASSAGE DOTS
20210178211 · 2021-06-17 ·

The invention relates to the technical field of exercise resistance bands, and particularly to an exercise resistance band with silicone massage dots, which enables massage at the time of fitness and is convenient to wear, and has the advantages of improving the storage effect and reducing the occupied area after storage. The exercise resistance band comprises an elastic band, a hook-and-loop fastener and two elastic pull-up bands, wherein multiple sets of protruding silicone massage dots are adhered and fixed to an inner side of the elastic band, the hook-and-loop fastener comprises a hook and a loop, and the two elastic pull-up bands are respectively fixed on left and right sides of the elastic band.
