The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device adapted for rehabilitating and/or exercising the shoulder region, as well as to the use of such a rehabilitation device. The rehabilitation device has support elements (3, 4, 5) enabling the upright position of the upper body during the exercise, two motion shafts (2) guiding the motion in a pre-defined direction of motion, and two handleless arm supports (1) attached to the end of each motion shaft and arranged to support the arms of the user, preventing activation of the muscles carrying the arm.

A resistance system, which can be suitable for incorporation in exercise equipment, is a hybrid resistance assembly having at least a first and a second resistance unit. The first resistance unit can be of a first type and the second resistance unit can be of a second type. The first resistance unit can be an inertial resistance unit, which incorporates an inertial load that creates resistance influenced by the inertia of a movable mass, such as a rotatable flywheel. The second resistance unit can be a static or non-inertial resistance unit, such as a displacement resistance unit, which incorporates a load that creates resistance influenced by displacement (e.g., linear or rotational displacement) of an input to the displacement resistance unit.

The present invention may be embodied as a system or method for dynamically exercising a user's neck muscles. The system includes a headset, an arm attached thereto, a weight, and at least one motor to move the weight, for example, about the arm. The weight may be mounted eccentrically on a radial track that is rotatable by one motor and moved linearly by another motor. The direction of the arm, the distance between an apex of the headset and the weight, the eccentricity of the weight on the axis, and the speed of rotation of the motor are all parameters that can be adjusted by the caregiver or user, either manually or via controlling software.

A weight apparatus includes a handle, first and second anchorages mounted to first and second ends of the handle, respectively, the handle and the first and second anchorages having an axially extending opening, first and second rods axially movable inside the axially extending opening and adapted to be moved axially relative to the axially extending opening in opposite directions upon rotation of first and second pinion gears in the first and second anchorages, respectively, that engage with first and second racks on the first and second rods, respectively, and a lock having a locked condition in which rotation of the first and second pinion gears is prevented and an unlocked condition in which rotation of the first and second pinion gears is permitted.

The present invention relates to a hand gripper including a first arm, a second arm, a pair of spring members, a first spring member coupling shaft, and a second spring member coupling shaft, wherein a plurality of first elastic force adjusting grooves and a plurality of second elastic force adjusting grooves, to which the first spring member coupling shaft and the second spring member coupling shaft are selectively coupled, respectively, to adjust strength of elastic force provided by the spring members, are formed in a first body of the first arm and a second body of the second arm, respectively.

A spring-grip easy to adjust grip, comprising a torsional spring and two handles for inserting torsion arms of the torsional spring, wherein spacing blind holes are punched on the torsion arm; the handles comprise a fixed handle, a movable handle, a collar, a spring and a limit steel ball, the fixed handle and the movable handle are both hollow tubular structures, compared to the prior art, the invention is provided with different inner diameter segments in the movable handle to realize the limit steel ball having two states of tension and looseness in truncated-cone through hole, thereby realizing the torsion arm having two states of fixation or movable adjustment in handles, which makes grip adjustment method easier, simultaneously, spacing blind holes are labeled with different grip values, which can intuitively determine the grip when using different spacing blind holes, and scientifically guide the grip exercise.

A rehabilitative and/or exercise machine that has a frame with attachments to multiple independent bidirectional resistance devices (pneumatic, hydraulic, spring actuated, pulley system, cam, or any other resistance devices) used by the arms and/or legs to provide resistance against movement of the user's appendages in two substantially opposed directions. The resistance devices may have a mechanism such as one or more valves, brakes, springs, or the like that control bi-directional resistance. The action of the arms and/or legs in bi-directional resistance offers near full body exercise of the agonist/antagonist muscles using flexion and extension action of the larger muscle groups in a gait pattern, simultaneously. Hand engaging members attach to the arm resistance devices and foot engaging members attach to the leg resistance devices. The unit may include an attached inclined backboard, mat, bench, or cushion to fully or partially support the user, such as for the user to sit or lay on. The unit may have separate adjustment mechanisms for adjusting the height and/or length of the various portions of the unit to adjust the range of motion of the appendages. The unit may have devices to monitor pulse, oxygen flow and other vital signs.

A trampoline includes a jumping mat, a supporting frame, and a plurality of levers. The supporting frame is located proximal a jumping periphery of the jumping mat. The plurality of levers circumextend the jumping periphery. Each of the plurality of levers includes a rigid element connected to the supporting frame. The rigid element includes a jump mat end and a frame end. The rigid element pivots about a fulcrum connected to and supported by the supporting frame. The jump mat end is connected to the jumping mat at a jumping mat connection located proximal the jumping periphery. A tensioner is connected between the lever at a tensioner attachment and the supporting frame. Each lever and tensioner is configured to apply tension to the jumping mat in the form of a force applied against the jumping periphery of the jumping mat in a direction away from the jumping mat.

Disclosed is a fitness equipment including a fitness equipment terminal and a data terminal. The fitness equipment terminal includes a movable member and a damping device for controlling the damping intensity of the movable member, and also includes a travel tracking module for feeding back motion data of the damping device and a control module for controlling the damping device. The damping device includes an electromagnetic induction assembly. A fitness system is also disclosed.

A belt squat apparatus having a frame and a lever arm that is pivotally mounted to a pivot point of the frame. A weight loading point is located on the first side of the lever arm and on one side of the pivot point. An attachment point is located on the second side of the lever arm. A cable includes a lever end that is configured to mount to the lever arm at the attachment point and an opposing user end that is configured to engage a user. When the user pulls the cable, the lever arm pivots about the pivot point to move the weight loading point from a lowered position to a raised position.
