Provided is an exercise load control device including: a patient information input unit configured to input patient information which indicates whether a patient using an exercise therapy apparatus is an atrial fibrillation patient; a heart rate information acquisition unit configured to acquire heart rate information which indicates a heart rate of the patient using the exercise therapy apparatus; and a load control unit configured to control a magnitude of a load to be applied by the exercise therapy apparatus to the patient, based on the patient information input by the patient information input unit and the heart rate information acquired by the heart rate information acquisition unit.

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

The present invention provides an upper limb function assessment device and the use method thereof and an upper limb rehabilitation training system and the use method thereof, wherein the upper limb function assessment device includes a display, a depth camera and a central processor, the depth camera is used to capture a user's motion, the display is used to display motion demonstration and the user's motion, and the central processor is connected to the display and the depth camera, respectively. The present invention captures the user's motion precisely with the depth camera, which makes the obtained data more accurate and objective, and also facilitates recording and storage of the obtained data. The central processor determines whether the completion of the motion meets the requirements in assessment scales, allowing the user to come up with an assessment report on his own without requiring a lot of assistance from a physician.

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.

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

An exercise device system comprising a tower; a support structure inclinable at different angles relative to the tower; a movable user support platform movably associated with the support structure for movement relative to the support structure; a pulley system associated with the movable user support platform; a cable extending through the pulley system and including opposite ends; exercise device handles coupled to the opposite ends of the cable, whereby movement of the handles causes movement of the movable user support platform relative to the support structure.

A resistance force is controlled such that a user's effort against the resistance force results in a first isokinetic seed movement. The resistance force required to effect the first isokinetic seed movement is associated with a force-velocity profile. It is determined whether a sufficient number of isokinetic seed movements have been performed by the user. In response to a determination that the sufficient number of isokinetic seed movements have been performed by the user, a strength determination of the user is made based on the isokinetic seed movements performed by the user.

A method for controlling exercise load variations in a strength exercise machine, includes, at a current time instant t.sub.i, detecting an exercise position within a set range of motion of a user, and checking if a previously set trigger condition of an exercise load variation includes the detected exercise position of the user within the set range of motion. If a previously set trigger condition of an exercise load variation includes the detected exercise position of the user within a respective range of motion, the method includes setting a trigger condition of an exercise load variation as the current trigger condition of exercise load variation having a first speed threshold for execution of motion by the user, and reducing an exercise load based on a comparison of speed for execution of motion by the user and the first speed threshold.

Systems and methods directed to handheld respiratory diagnostics, trainings, and therapy are disclosed. More specifically, a device that collects data associated with a user's breathing using sensors, analyzes that data to determine time series readings of one or more health-related vitals, and generates trainings and therapies to assist the user in real time is described.

A motorized lifting rack that selectively lifts and lowers a barbell through linear actuators is provided. The powered lifting rack can engage a barbell at floor level. The linear actuators can also selectively raise and lower safety bars design to “spot” the barbell for a single user. The powered lifting rack is embodied in a system that includes a platform that the safety bars can nest in. The platform provides a plurality of actuating benches for a user of the barbell to utilize.
