A pedal assembly for electromechanical exercise or rehabilitation of a user is disclosed and can include pedals to engage appendages of a user. A spindle supports each pedal and has a spindle axis. A pedal arm assembly is located between the spindle and an axle. The pedal arm assembly is radially offset from the spindle axis to define a range of adjustability for the pedal relative to the axle. The pedal arm assembly can include an electrically-actuated coupling assembly to adjust the position of the pedal in response to a control signal, and regulate motion of the user engaged with the pedals.

The systems and methods described herein provide an exercise machine that includes a closed loop control system to enhance or otherwise modify operations of the exercise machine. For example, the system may apply various closed loop control schemes based on data received from various sensors of the exercise machine, such as sensors with handles and/or motors of the exercise machine.

An exercise device includes an axial member, a rotating apparatus, a variable resistance apparatus, and two handle assemblies. The axial member defines a center axis of a central assembly of the exercise device. The rotating apparatus is configured to rotate about the center axis and includes a surface interfacing member, a hub positioned around the axial member, and a plurality of spokes. The variable resistance apparatus includes a resistance member that exerts resistance to the rotation of the rotating apparatus, and a user control device operable to change a magnitude of resistance exerted by the variable resistance member. The two handle assemblies are positioned on opposite sides of the hub.

A bicycle trainer includes a base having a base portion and a standing portion, a supporting frame rotationally pivoted on the standing portion of the base around an axle, a cassette module mounted on the supporting frame and having multiple sprockets, and a flywheel module mounted on the supporting frame. A height adjusting member includes the standing portion, the supporting frame and a fixing element. The fixing element is placed in or between the standing portion and the supporting frame for keeping the supporting frame at a predetermined angle with respect to the standing portion.

A wearable device and an exercise support method performed by the wearable device are disclosed. The exercise support method includes receiving exercise setting information associated with a lower body muscle that is selected by a user input, determining a torque profile to be applied to the wearable device based on the received exercise setting information, and operating an actuator of the wearable device based on the determined torque profile.

A driving simulator for motor and neurological rehabilitation includes: a first steering handle and a second steering handle, kinematically independent and configured to be held respectively by a left hand and by a right hand of a patient suffering from motor deficits in correspondence with at least one upper limb and/or from cognitive disorders; a couple of electrical servomotors connected respectively to the first steering handle and to the second steering handle; an electronic control unit, connected to the electrical servomotors, and including an acquisition and control module; and a couple of angular position sensors. The driving simulator includes also at least one button and at least one lever configured to stimulate the patient to perform actions useful for the motor rehabilitation of the upper limb and for evaluating the cognitive status of the patient himself.

In all applications of force, all components, internal or external, moving or otherwise, have inertia associated with their mass and geometry. The inertia of the components, internal or external, moving or otherwise, is detrimental to the precision and/or accuracy of the force being applied by and/or to the system, whether the force is applied internally or externally to the system. A motorbased system and/or a method involves mitigating and/or reducing force errors caused by the inertia of the components, internal or external to the system, moving or otherwise, in systems built for the application of force, the forces being internal or external to the system. This is achieved, in part, by addressing the inertial effects of components in the load-application path, including a motor and/or other force-generating devices, force transmitting elements, and carriers of force between a motor and those elements that contribute to force error due to inertial effects.

The present application generally relates to an exercise machine. The exercise machine comprises a body, a physical weight, an electromechanical resistance module, a pulley system attached to the body and a user interface. The physical weight provides a first resistance source for a first cable, while the electromechanical resistance module provides a second resistance source for a second cable. The pulley system is configured to integrate a resistance from the first and second resistance sources into a single output resistance by guiding the first cable and second cable to an adapter to which the first cable and the second cable are attached. The user interface is connected to the adapter and serves to apply a force against the single output resistance.

A method includes receiving treatment data pertaining to a user capable of using a treatment device to perform a treatment plan and receiving activity data pertaining to the user while the user engages in at least one activity. The method also includes generating treatment information using the treatment data and the activity data and writing to an associated memory, for access by a healthcare professional, the treatment information. The method also includes modifying at least one aspect of the treatment plan in response to receiving, from the healthcare professional, treatment plan input including at least one modification to the at least one aspect of the treatment plan.

During at least a portion of a user exercise movement in which an actuator velocity of an actuator is in an outward direction, an amount of torque that is requestable from a motor is increased based at least in part on the actuator velocity. The motor provides resistance to the actuator. The actuator is coupled to the motor.
