An orthotic support comprises a shoulder section for encapsulating a first shoulder of a wearer, a glove section for conforming to at least a portion of the wearer's hand, and a sleeve section for conforming to the wearer's arm, the sleeve section connecting the shoulder section to the glove section. A resilient reinforcement extends from the glove section to the shoulder section, and at least a portion of the reinforcement extends in a spiral around the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to apply a rotational force to the wearer's arm, when worn, to urge a portion of the wearer's arm to rotate in a predetermined direction. The orthotic support may be usable to treat or prevent shoulder dislocation or subluxation, arm over-pronation or over-supination, wrist flexion or elbow flexion. An orthotic support may comprise a reinforcement with a first branch extending over an anterior portion of the sleeve section, and a second branch extending over a posterior portion of the sleeve section, so that the reinforcement is configured to urge the wearer's upper arm towards a rest position.

An arm curl fitness apparatus includes a first frame to be provided standing upright on both sides of the user in a straight bar shape; a second frame formed in a U-shape with each end coupled to the upper end of the first frame; a first rotation bar, shorter than the first frame, with one end rotatably coupled to the upper outer side of the first frame; a handle formed in a L-shape with one end rotatably coupled to the first rotation bar and the other end facing the user; a second rotation bar with one end rotatably coupled to the lower outer side of the first frame; a wire with one end connected to a point adjacent to one end of the first rotation bar; and an armrest provided on the inside of the upper part of the first frame.

In general, an exercise device includes a handle having a first end and a second end. A curved member is coupled to the first end of the handle. A movable member is coupled to the curved member, with the movable member configured to travel along a length of the curved member, where the movable member has a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion is configured to move relative to the first portion. An elongate member has a first end and a second end, and the first end of the elongate member is coupled to the second portion of the movable member. A weight is coupled to the second end of the elongate member.

The invention is directed to systems, devices, and methods for measuring force and repetitions during exercise or rehabilitation activities. Devices in accordance with some embodiments may include: a casing; a processor within the casing; a display visibly on the casing; a first attachment portion on one end of the casing; a second attachment portion on an opposite end of the casing; and a force sensor connected to the first and the second attachment portion, the force sensor in communication with the processor. Methods may include: attaching an exercise band to the wireless force measurement device; conducting exercises causing the exercise band to stretch and pull away from the wireless force measurement device; counting, by the device, the number of times the band stretches and pulls away from the device; determining, by the device the amount of force applied through the exercise band during the exercise.

A method for use with a physical training device is provided. The device including an elastic resistance strap having first and second handles. The method includes pulling at least one of the first and second handles to generate force on a target muscle group through resistance training. The method also includes pulling the at least one of the first and second handles to generate anaerobic and aerobic muscle activity within the target muscle group through cardiovascular interval training.

A layered strap-like apparatus for exercising, stretching and training multiple muscle groups of the entire body of a user. The apparatus is adapted to be worn about the waist or carried as a bandolier about the user's body. The apparatus has an optional, releasably closable pocket between the layers for securing and carrying accessories, such as attachable handles and elastic bands. The apparatus and methods of use provide the user with balanced loading options and the flexibility to exercise anywhere.

A resistance exercise system having, in certain embodiments, a DC power supply system, a DC motor connected to the DC power supply system, a drive section connected to a drive element, a resistance delivery element connected to the drive element, and an extractable exercise resistance delivery section, a predetermined variable resistance section intermediate the DC power supply system and DC motor, an electrical condition sensor, and a variable resistance section control in communication with the electrical condition sensor and the predetermined variable resistance section. In some embodiments, the resistance exercise system includes a computing facility providing the ability to configure the exercise system to provide predetermined static or variable exercise resistance during exercise, and for example, during a positive or negative exercise stroke. Some embodiments allow users to create and, if desired, display varying and complex resistance exercise routines with or without use of resistance weights.

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable biomechanics units and or resistance modules. The garment may provide resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and or tracks a variety of biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing or athletic uniform. The device may be worn as a supplemental training and or diagnostic tool during conventional training protocols, or as a biomechanics or biometric data capture device during competition.

Disclosed is a muscle specific exercise device. The device may provide passive or active resistance training throughout an angular range of motion. The device may be low profile, and worn by a wearer, such as beneath conventional clothing. Exercise of selective joints or motion of the body may thereby be accomplished throughout the wearer's normal daily activities, without the need for access to conventional exercise equipment. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training techniques.

A device for upper-limb rehabilitation, which assists a user in exercising the arm for rehabilitation, has a connector, a placing unit movably connected to the connector, and a driving unit configured to move the connector, wherein when a user places the arm on the placing unit and moves the placing unit, the driving unit is operated to move the connector along the placing unit, so as to enlarge a work space in which the user is capable of moving the arm.
