A base apparatus for accommodating and rotating a fitness balance device for a balance workout routine is provided. The base apparatus comprises a bottom member, a ball bearing plate, a top member, a fastening mechanism, and multiple ball bearings. The ball bearings are disposed in a circular track located on an upper surface of the bottom member. The ball bearing plate is disposed between the bottom member and the top member. Each peripheral hole in the ball bearing plate is configured to accommodate a ball bearing. The top member is in communication with and disposed above the ball bearing plate, and is slidably fastened to the bottom member by the fastening mechanism. The top member comprises a collar for accommodating the fitness balance device, and is configured to rotate relative to the bottom member with the movement of the ball bearings in the circular track of the bottom member.

It is disclosed an apparatus for restoring voluntary control of locomotion in a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment comprising a multidirectional trunk support system and a device for epidural electrical stimulation. The robotic interface is capable of evaluating, enabling and training motor pattern generation and balance across a variety of natural walking behaviors in subjects with neuromotor impairments. Optionally, pharmacological cocktails can be administered to enhance rehabilitation results. It is also disclosed a method for the evaluation, enablement and training of a subject suffering from neuromotor impairments by combining robotically assisted evaluation tools with sophisticated neurobiomechanical and statistical analyzes. A method for the rehabilitation (by this term also comprising restoring voluntary control of locomotion) of a subject suffering from a neuromotor impairment in particular partial or total paralysis of limbs, is also disclosed.

Disclosed is a lower limbs rehabilitation exercise apparatus for curvilinear motion. The lower limbs rehabilitation exercise apparatus for curvilinear motion include: a main frame installed in an upward direction; a saddle part located at a front surface of the main frame to support a hip of a user; and a lower limbs exercise part disposed at a side of the main frame to control feet of the user to perform the curvilinear motion.

A treadmill includes a frame having a front end and a rear end, substantially opposite the front end; a front shaft assembly coupled to the frame proximate the front end of the frame; a rear shaft assembly coupled to the frame proximate the rear end of the frame; a running belt disposed about the front and rear shaft assemblies; and a bumper coupled to the frame proximate the running belt such that the bumper is disposed between the running belt and the frame. The bumper includes a partially rounded surface and a substantially flat surface. In use, the partially rounded surface and the substantially flat surface of the bumper are configured to selectively engage and restrict movement of the running belt towards at least a portion of the frame.

The invention concerns a device and methods for unilateral or bilateral physical therapy of lower limbs of a person. The device comprises a curved rail mounted on a base and a pair of support members on which the legs are disposed. The curved rail is configured to allow lateral movements of the lower limbs with the support members, the lateral movements being driven by a force of the lower limbs. The initial reinforcement of the lower limbs of the person is improved by the use of this device, which reduces friction or resistance caused by the device during prescribed movements. The invention provides to patients with severe lower limb disability a physical therapy device that is easy to use with minimum supervision by a physical therapist.

Provided is an exercise guide system. The exercise guide system guides a user in an exercise on a treadmill, of which the speed is controllable according to the user's free will. The exercise guide system includes an input unit configured to receive at least one target exercise speed, a detection unit configured to detect an actual exercise speed of the user on the treadmill. The exercise guide system further includes an exercise guide unit configured to provide information related to the actual exercise speed and the target exercise speed so that the user personally adjusts an exercise speed on the treadmill.

The present invention provides for an exercise apparatus comprising a pair of footplates arranged for reciprocal movement on respective support means, the support means extending outwardly from either side of a central frame portion of the apparatus, the footplates being arranged to receive a pair of human feet and so as to be moved by a user in a reciprocal manner in the direction of the support means as part of an exercise routine, and wherein the apparatus includes handgrip portions extending from the central frame portion of the apparatus, the handgrip portions being arranged for movement, such as for example upward and/or downward movement against a resilient bias during the exercise routine.

Provided is a treadmill including a plurality of slats extending in a first direction and arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The frame structure supports both ends of each of the plurality of slats to allow the plurality of slats to be movable in the second direction. The frame structure includes a central frame having a top portion having a curved shape. The frame structure further includes a first side frame and a second side frame respectively arranged on both sides of the central frame. A top portion of each of the first and second side frames has a shape corresponding to the curved shape of the central frame.

An exercise apparatus includes a frame body, two driving levers, two pedals, a linking device and at least one resistance device. The driving levers are pivotally connected to two side frames of the frame body, respectively. The pedals are connected to the two driving levers, respectively. The linking device is connected the driving levers so as to lead the driving levers to be swung reciprocally and simultaneously. The resistance device is driven by one of the driving levers so as to generate a magnetic resistance.
