Embodiments described herein are directed to a device and method of using the device for shoulder rehabilitation.

A weight lifter's shirt includes a fabric body covering including an exercise device incorporated into the shirt. The exercise device includes an elastic chest spanning member and a pair of elastic sleeves or cuffs. In a bench press lift, lowering of a weighted bar stretches the elastic member thereby storing energy in the elastic member and assisting the lifter to raise the weighted bar.

A sports training/exercise apparatus attached to a swinging sports apparatus, typically a racquet and most specifically a tennis racquet. The apparatus includes a drag chute with a rigid member disposed therearound and a clamp secured to each side of the drag chute. A transverse support rod is positioned between the clamps and includes an aperture therein. The apparatus further includes brackets at the top and bottom of the racquet head. A longitudinal support rod is positioned between the brackets and extends through the aperture in the transverse support rod. Thus, the transverse support rod, the side clamps, and the drag chute are slidable along the longitudinal support rod to adjust resistance. A locking mechanism can be used to lock the transverse support rod in a position along the longitudinal support rod.

In some embodiments, the current invention relates to a system and/or method to distribute forces and/or arrange the geometry of a grip of exercise equipment to server to strengthen a grasping muscle of the user. For example, the grip may be designed to be held by one or more fingers in partially open and/or an unlocked position. For example, the grip may be designed for different fingers to grasp at different geometries and/or forces to exercise grasping muscles. In some embodiments, the grip has a variable geometry, for example it may be tapered (for example, as a cut off conical section) and/or bulging and/or with an indentation. The grip may be made of elastomer such as artificial polymer, latex and/or silicone. Optionally the grip has a non slip surface. In some embodiments, the grip fits over a handle of a piece of exercise equipment.

An adjustable shoulder exercise device which includes a frame base, a pair of frame columns having a vertical portion and a horizontal portion, at least one cross frame which extents orthogonally relative to the vertical portion of the frame columns and either pulley assemblies or a resistance band set. The adjustable shoulder exercise device allows total control of all active and passive motions of the shoulder, in multiple planes and using multiple kinetic chains of motion. The adjustable shoulder exercise device described herein acts as a three dimensional grid system employing the use of multiple pulley assemblies or resistance bands that can be positioned in a multitude of heights and lateral positions to allow movements to be performed from all angles relative to the human shoulder.

A weight training apparatus using hydraulics or pneumatics for applying positive and negative resistance closer to a user's maximum capacity throughout a lift is provided. The weight training apparatus allows for weight training without weights. The weight training apparatus may provide a more effective and safer mechanism for training than conventional techniques.

Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus. The rehabilitation training apparatus includes a pair of first tracks formed parallel to each other along first axis, a second track disposed on the pair of first tracks, and moving along the first axis, and formed along second axis, a hand holder disposed on the second track, and moving along the second track, and on which at least one of hand and arm of a user is held, a stopper for a track disposed on the pair of first tracks for limiting a movement range of the second track, and a stopper for a holder disposed on the second track for limiting a movement range of the second pair of first tracks, wherein the first axis and the second axis are disposed with an inclination.

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device adapted for rehabilitating and/or exercising the shoulder region, as well as to the use of such a rehabilitation device. The rehabilitation device has support elements (3, 4, 5) enabling the upright position of the upper body during the exercise, two motion shafts (2) guiding the motion in a pre-defined direction of motion, and two handleless arm supports (1) attached to the end of each motion shaft and arranged to support the arms of the user, preventing activation of the muscles carrying the arm.

A cable exercise machine includes a first pull cable and a second pull cable incorporated into a frame. Each of the first pull cable and the second pull cable are linked to at least one resistance mechanism. The at least one resistance mechanism includes a flywheel and a magnetic unit arranged to resist movement of the flywheel.

A multifunctional therapeutic workout enhancement brace has a joint-receiving sling, a pair of adjustable cuffs, and a tension-diverting band. The joint-receiving sling is a flexible piece of material that is molded to conform to the shape of the user's joint. The pair of adjustable cuffs are mounted along opposite edges of the joint-receiving sling. Thus, enabling the user to attach the adjustable cuffs to opposite sides of the user's joint. The tension-diverting band is a strip of material that is mounted in between the adjustable cuffs and the joint-receiving sling. Thus positioned, the tension-diverting band transfers forces that are directed toward the user's joint out of the joint-receiving sling and into the adjustable cuffs. Further, the joint-receiving sling, the pair of adjustable cuffs, and the tension-diverting band work in concert to reduce the torque applied to the user's joint during exercise.
