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 accessory includes a load bearing shaft. It further includes a ring-shaped actuator oriented substantially concentrically to the shaft that is responsive to radial pressure from a user. The radial pressure from the user causes a control signal to be transmitted from the exercise accessory to an exercise machine.

A portable mirror therapy device comprises a stiff divider panel attached to a base unit which supports the divider panel in an upright position to define two adjacent limb receiving spaces at opposite sides of the divider panel. A mirror is mounted on one face of the divider panel. A clamp, indicated generally by the reference numeral mounted at a lower end of the divider panel cooperates with an underside of the base unit for securing the base unit on a support such as a table or worktop. An exercise apparatus is mounted on the device and includes a limb engaging member, which in this case comprises a handle at a mirror side of the divider panel. The exercise apparatus is a resistance load training system and comprises a load cord extending from the handle to an associated resistance element mounted within a housing on an opposite side of the divider panel to the mirror.

An exercise accessory includes a load bearing element. It further includes a haptic actuator. In response to an indication of an event pertaining to a load on the load bearing element, the haptic actuator is configured to generate a vibration pattern corresponding to the event. Different events are associated with different vibration patterns.

An exercise system includes a load bearing element having a control element. It further includes a resistance mechanism responsive to a signal from the control element. The signal from the control element is selectively rejected based on state information relating to a state of the load bearing element.

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 ambulation simulating apparatus, including: a user feet interface comprising foot rests; a dynamic inertia mechanism configured to provide an inertial load when a downwardly force is applied due to the foot and a kinematic connection configured to enable transmission of motion from the feet interface to the dynamic inertia and backwards as the dynamic inertia mechanism resists said downwardly applied force by the foot.

A Smith machine includes: a frame part formed to have an exercise space, and including vertical two-sided pillars, a horizontal beam for connecting upper ends of the two-sided pillars, and a support base formed in lower portions of the two-sided pillars; a swing part formed in the exercise space, hinged to the support base via a shaft member, and having a rack bar having a plurality of locking jaws such that the height of the barbell can be adjusted; a guide part which is integrally coupled to the swing part so as to swing together, and guides the rise or fall of the barbell; an angle adjustment part for adjusting the angle of the swing part; a barbell part coupled to the guide part so as to be raisable; and a load support part for supporting an inclination load of the swing part by elastic force.

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation system for rehabilitating a person with a neurological condition, such as a spinal cord injury (SCI). The system includes exercise equipment for enabling the person to exercise. One or more sensors are provided for sensing information from the person during exercise. The system also includes a model of the exercising person configured to receive the sensed information from the sensors and generate electrical stimulation for the person. Advantageously, the personalized computer model may be used to generate suitable electrical stimulation for the person, and avoid excessive stresses on the person which can lead to the fracturing of bones.
