A fitness device contains a strap, a handle, and a plate. The strap is substantially inelastic and flexible. The plate is substantially rigid. The handle at least partially envelopes the strap. A method of exercising with such a fitness device is also described herein. Other fitness devices and other methods of use are also described herein.

Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable electronics and resistance modules. The garment provides resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and tracks biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and incremental 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. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training protocols.

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

A portable multi-exercise device includes a pair of parallel tracks each being elongate and linear. The exercise device includes a pair of band attachment platforms positioned across the parallel tracks respectively proximate to ends of the parallel tracks, the band attachment platforms having at least two laterally spaced apart resistance band attachment structures and themselves being laterally positioned along the parallel tracks. Each band attachment platform may include a set of three spaced apart planks defining a slot therebetween in which band fasteners are positioned. The exercise device includes a pair of step platforms atop which a user stands when grasping resistance bands during exercise, the step platforms being laterally adjustable along the parallel tracks. The exercise device includes a rowing bar coupled to the pair of parallel tracks intermediate the band attachment platforms and having fasteners for attachment to the resistance bands.

The present invention provides an upper limb function assessment device and the use method thereof and an upper limb rehabilitation training system and the use method thereof, wherein the upper limb function assessment device includes a display, a depth camera and a central processor, the depth camera is used to capture a user's motion, the display is used to display motion demonstration and the user's motion, and the central processor is connected to the display and the depth camera, respectively. The present invention captures the user's motion precisely with the depth camera, which makes the obtained data more accurate and objective, and also facilitates recording and storage of the obtained data. The central processor determines whether the completion of the motion meets the requirements in assessment scales, allowing the user to come up with an assessment report on his own without requiring a lot of assistance from a physician.

An information related to the position of an actuator coupled to a cable which is coupled to a motor is received. A filter is used to provide an input to a motor controller coupled to the motor, to adjust torque on the motor such that a strength curve is implemented relative to the position of the actuator.

A method of use and system of an adjustable, multiple routine, resistance exercise, apparatus having a single, continuous length of elastic flexible and/or stretchable tubing, banding, and/or strapping, formed in a continuous loop, by having the two free ends of the length of tubing, banding, and/or strapping knotted securely together, thus forming a continuous loop exercise device, having at least three scalable calibrated sections demarcated by a plurality of knotted sections, forming a chain of loops with knotted stays strategically spaced along the length of the formed continuous loop device.

A self-contained, hyperthermic conditioning unit and selectively controllable environment for exercising. The unit comprises a base portion having a bed therein and a removable cover connected to the base portion to enclose a personal compartment within the unit. One or more heating elements provide heat to the personal compartment and one more pieces of physical exercise equipment are provided within the personal compartment.

A low friction rehabilitation board having an integral band retaining feature is described. The rehabilitation board may have a coefficient of static friction of no more than about 0.5 and in some embodiments no more than about 0.06. The rehabilitation board has a plurality of band retaining feature configured along one or both ends and may be an integral band retaining features being formed in the board. Additionally, the rehabilitation may include one or more band retaining features on one or both sides of the board. The unique configuration of the band retaining features enables rehabilitation method heretofore not possible with a single board. Resistance bands may be retained in the band retaining features and coupled to a user's limb, such as a foot or ankle, to resist motion, such as sliding or extending the foot along the low friction surface of the rehabilitation board.

A physical therapy device with a pair of handles and one or more balance pedals. The balance pedal(s) are slidable along one or more bands attached, directly or indirectly, to the handles.
