Exercise apparatus
An exercise apparatus comprising: a foot support, a user interface that includes a visual display, the foot support being movable by the user on the frame back and forth through any one of a plurality of complete, reproducible and different arc segments of a master arcuate path, the foot support being interconnected to a selection device that enables the user to select any one of the plurality of arc segments, one or more detectors adapted to detect one or more of force, energy or power exerted by the user over time on the foot support or distance or velocity of travel of the foot support or resistance assembly during the course of the user's performance of all or a portion of an exercise cycle, the visual display displaying a visually recognizable format of one or more of the force, energy, power, distance, time or velocity.
Method and system for treating patients via telemedicine using sensor data from rehabilitation or exercise equipment
A system includes a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user performs a treatment plan and a patient interface associated with the treatment device. The system also includes a computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user who uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; write to an associated memory, for access at a computing device of a healthcare provider, treatment information; communicate with an interface, at the computing device of the healthcare provider; and modify at least one of the at least one aspect and any other aspect of the treatment plan in response to receiving treatment plan input including at least one modification to the at least one of the at least one aspect and any other aspect of the treatment plan.
Monitoring Joint Extension and Flexion Using a Sensor Device Securable to an Upper and Lower Limb
In some embodiments, a system for rehabilitation includes an electronic device including a memory device for storing instructions, a network interface card, and a sensor. The system includes a processing device operatively coupled to the memory device, the network interface card, and the sensor, wherein the processing device executes the instructions to determine angles while a user is engaging one or more pedals of an electromechanical device, and transmit, via the network interface card, the angles to a computing device controlling the electromechanical device, and based on the angles satisfying a range of one or more respective motion threshold conditions, wherein, while the user operates at least one of the one or more pedals, the transmitting the angles to the computing device causes the computing device to increase a diameter of a range of motion of one of the one or more pedals.
Rowing exercise system
A lower limb exercise system exercise system includes a chair including a seat and a rowing exercise device configured to enable a user to perform rowing exercise while the user remains sitting on the seat. The seat is configured to at least roll, pitch, or yaw. The seat can instead be configured to at least roll and yaw. The rolling of the seat indicates that the seat descends as the seat moves away to the right or the left from a reference position.

Rotational fitness apparatus
A fitness apparatus includes a support assembly having a framework selectively mounted to one of a ground surface, building structure, or fitness apparatus. A foot assembly is rotatably coupled to the support assembly and configured such that the foot assembly is displaced above a ground surface. The foot assembly includes a pair of retention members configured to selectively support the feet of a person in a toes-pointed downwardly position and above the ground surface. The fitness apparatus that increases core muscle group activation by making traditional exercises more challenging. It is designed to have the user place their feet in a platform which then allows for three axis of rotation. Height adjustment gives the user more resistance. The largest benefit is that the user can perform these exercises without having to stop to re-adjust their feet.
Epicyclic gear system for use in exercise equipment
An epicyclic gear system features a cylindrical flywheel with a flywheel cavity, a plurality of mounting pillars, an annular ring gear mounted on the mounting pillars, and an annular sun gear mounted to and extending from the flywheel cavity. The epicyclic gear system has a planet carrier mounted to an axle shaft and a planet gear mounted to the planet carrier. The axle shaft passes through an axle aperture, a ring gear aperture, and a sun gear aperture. The planet gear engages the ring gear and the sun gear to provide a desired gear ratio for rotating the flywheel via rotation of the axle shaft, the planet carrier, the planet gear, and the sun gear.
Apparatus, system and method for power measurement
A power measurement device, which may be mounted to an inside area of a crank arm, includes processing circuitry within a housing. The processing circuitry is coupled with strain gauges mounted on the crank arm, and produces a power value that is wireless transmitted to a separate display that may receive and display power measurements. The housing may include a mounted portion and a cantilever portion where the mounted portion houses the processing circuitry and the cantilever portion houses batteries supply energy for the processing circuitry and other features.
KINESITHERAPY APPARATUS AND ANAEROBIC THRESHOLD IDENTIFYING METHOD
A kinesitherapy apparatus includes a measuring instrument, a pedaled rotational mechanism, a rotating electrical machine configured to apply an assist load, which is a regenerative load or a power running load, to the pedaled rotational mechanism, and a motion control device. The motion control device performs power running operation of the rotating electrical machine so that a minus assist load is generated in a warm-up period. In a ramp loading period following the warm-up period, the motion control device raises the assist load from the minus assist load, and calculates an anaerobic threshold based on time-series data of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide emission that are obtained via the measuring instrument.
