Foot exercise apparatus
11369842 · 2022-06-28 ·

The device is a foot power apparatus which provides a means for therapeutically strengthening the foot using an expansion spring mounted pedal suspended within a support frame assembly. One embodiment of the apparatus comprises which base, which generally resembles the sole of a shoe, and a support frame assembly which is attached at the front end and along the sides of said base. Suspended above the base within the frame assembly by a pair of opposing springs is a pedal transversely positioned to the base. With the user's foot positioned on the base, the front of the foot applies downward pressure to expand the springs while the heel of the foot remains stationary. Removable and interchangeable expansion springs provide customized and more accurate biomechanical motion for the needs of the particular patient. This system allows for the proper flexion biomechanics on an individual basis because of its ability to shorten the foot during the flexion process.

There is provided a foot exercising device of exercising a foot using the device. The foot exercising device comprises a foot support and a tilting arrangement. A sensor means is arranged in the tilting arrangement and/or on the elevated footrest to measure the pressure applied to the calf and the pressure on the sole of a foot supported on the footrest respectively. A display means presents the measured pressure to an operator of the foot exercising device. There is also provided a method for controlling and/or monitoring an exercise of a foot using the foot exercising device.

Foot exercise apparatus for eliminating flat feet
11364417 · 2022-06-21 ·

A foot exercise apparatus includes a non-slip base and a casing mounted atop the base, the casing having opposed front and rear rends and opposed side walls extending therebetween. A toe assembly is situated atop a top surface of the casing proximate the front end an includes a toe receiver having a cupped configuration and a stop for aligning a user's toes when standing atop the top surface. When a user contracts or pulls his toes back, the toe receiver is slidably movable between a rest configuration displaced a first distance from the front end and a deployed configuration displaced a second distance from the front end, the toe receiver being spring biased toward the rest configuration. A heel assembly is situated atop the top surface proximate the rear end and includes a toe receiver for receiving a user's heel and is slidably movable according to a user's foot length.

An ankle-strengthening device includes a stretchable band including a first portion and a second portion. A tubular portion has a proximal end and distal end. The tubular portion is fixed between the first portion of the stretchable band and the second portion of the stretchable band. The proximal end of the tubular portion has at an opening configured to receive a toe of a user. A fastener portion has a first attachment point and a second attachment point, such that, when fixed on the lower leg of the user, the first attachment point of the fastener is configured to connect with the first portion of the stretchable band, and the second attachment point of the fastener portion is configured to connect with the second portion of the stretchable band, thereby creating resistance to the user through dorsiflexion and/or pronation upon application of the device by the user.
