In one embodiment, an exercise system includes a user interface device sized and configured to fit within a user's hand, the user interface device including a microcontroller configured to control operation of the device, a first sensor configured to sense movements of the device, a second sensor configured to sense forces applied to the device, and a communication device configured to communicate data concerning the sensed movements and forces to a separate device.

A flexor hinge orthosis comprises a forearm frame; a first frame connected to the forearm frame to be rotatable about a first rotation axis that extends in a lateral direction; a second frame configured to be fixed to a palmar of a user and connected to the second frame to be rotatable about a second rotation axis that extends in an upward-and-downward direction; a thumb frame; an operating lever; an actuating lever; an actuating rod; and a finger frame.

Presented is an Isokinetic exercise system having a base, a pedestal, a vertical member, a height adjustable vertical column for resting a rotary actuator on top, a resistance control valve unit with rotatable dials connected to the actuator, wherein the rotatable dials are selectively used to rotatably set a range of resistances for opposing movements to accommodate varying exerted forces by a user performing an intended exercise. The system further includes an electronics module to detect angle and pressure related data (as a measure of voltages) associated with the actuator, an A to D converter to convert the detected voltages in a digital form, a display unit embodying a program product for receiving, and processing the detected voltages to generate and display a muscular performance assessment report, store the received voltages for future comparison and enable printing the muscular performance assessment report, enable configuring next intended exercise.

Method for manufacturing a thin strip in a soft magnetic alloy and strip obtained A method for manufacturing a strip in a soft magnetic alloy capable of being cut out mechanically, the chemical composition of which comprises by weight:

TABLE-US-00001 18% Co 55% 0% V + W 3% 0% Cr 3% 0% Si 3% 0% Nb 0.5% 0% B 0.05% 0% C 0.1% 0% Zr + Ta 0.5% 0% Ni 5% 0% Mn 2%

The remainder being iron and impurities resulting from the elaboration, according to which a strip obtained by hot rolling is cold-rolled in order to obtain a cold-rolled strip with a thickness of less than 0.6 mm.

After cold rolling, a continuous annealing treatment is carried out by passing into a continuous oven, at a temperature comprised between the order/disorder transition temperature of the alloy and the onset temperature of ferritic/austenitic transformation of the alloy, followed by rapid cooling down to a temperature below 200 C. Strip obtained.

A wrist rehabilitation aid system includes a rod that is elongated and has a first end, a second end and a perimeter surface extending between the first and second ends. A first portion of the rod is positioned adjacent to the first end and defines a grip. A connector is coupled to the second end. The connector is freely rotational with respect to the rod about a rotational axis orientated parallel to a longitudinal axis extending through the first and second ends of the rod. A tether is resiliently stretchable and has an attached end removably attached to the connector and a free end attachable to a stationary anchor.
