A portable lower limb therapy device having a support base and a force transfer system. The support base includes an exterior surface suitable to slide on smooth surfaces and an interior surface suitable to receive and conform to a foot of a user. The force transfer system embodied through one or two cords integrated with the support base and operates to transfer force applied behind and above the foot of a user that is in the support base to the support base. The portable lower limb therapy device may be used with a wearable anchor that is attachable to the thigh of the user of allows for the cord or cords to be fixed in place for the performance of static progressive stretch therapy motions without requiring ongoing manual force.

A combined treatment, exercise, and traction apparatus including a base coupled to a plurality of linkages, a support frame having a first end and opposing second end and pivotally coupled to the plurality of linkages, the support frame formed to pivot between a first orientation and a different second orientation, a treatment table having a first end and an opposing second end, the treatment table slidably mounted to the support frame, and a plurality of actuators coupled between the base and the plurality of linkages, wherein the treatment table slides between a first position and a second position along a plane of the support frame when a first actuator is activated.

A multimodal fitness bar with a bar assembly and resistance assembly is disclosed. Exemplary implementations may further include a hanging member, a weighting assembly, a toggle assembly, a furling member, and/or other components. The resistance assembly may include a flexible fabric sheet with an opening configured to receive a user's foot and the bar assembly may include handles configured to be gripped by a user.

Disclosed exercise systems may include a wavelike body having at least two peaks and a trough therebetween extending longitudinally along a longitudinal axis and a laterally along a widthwise axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the wavelike body including a core component and a surface component surrounding the core component, for example. In various embodiments, the wavelike body may have at least one aperture extending laterally therethrough for securing an elastic band. In some embodiments, the core component may be formed of a rigid foam, e.g., a Poly Foam, and the surface component may be formed a relatively softer foam, e.g., an EVA foam. In some embodiments a plurality of apertures for securing an elastic chord or ribbon may extend through a sidewall of the wavelike body. In some embodiments, at least one aperture may extend through the core component and the surface component.

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 method for exercising muscles in an ankle, foot, and/or leg of a user includes positioning a foot of a user onto a first body of an exercise device. The first body is spaced away from a second body of the device and pivotably connected to the second body of the device at a pivot axis. The pivot axis is adjacent to a central portion of the first body. The method includes rotating the first body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a first resistive force. Rotating the first body includes subjecting the foot to a first motion. The method includes positioning the foot onto the second body. The method includes rotating the second body about the pivot axis, with the foot, against a second resistive force. Rotating the second body includes subjecting the foot to a second motion, the second motion being different than the first motion.

According to the present disclosure, provided is a hip-up exercise apparatus. The hip-up exercise apparatus includes a frame defining an opening at one side thereof and fixing holes at both sides of upper surfaces thereof; a footrest portion disposed at the opening of the frame; a pair of pillars inserted into and coupled to the fixing holes of the frame; and a back supporter connecting upper portions of the pair of pillars and configured to support a back; and the pillars are separated from the fixing holes, are rotated downward, and are turned over, to attach rear surfaces of the pillars to upper surfaces of the frame.

The pillars are separated from the fixing holes, are rotated downward, are turned over, and protrusions are coupled to the fixing holes, to attach the rear surfaces of the pillars on the upper surfaces of the frame, and the footrest is moved inside the frame to a maximum position thereof through the rail, thereby minimizing volume of the hip-up exercise apparatus, facilitating storage of the hip-up exercise apparatus, and conveniently using the hip-up exercise apparatus at home.

An exercise apparatus system is provided that uses two elongated boards and a pivot member; the configuration allows a person to perform exercise body movements from recumbent, semi-recumbent, supine, and prone positions while receiving biofeedback resistance forces to improve neurological and muscular health. The system restores core stability neuromuscular systems, including improved function of the hip and shoulder joints.

A ground-effect footplate against which a user applies plantar force and moves their foot in 3D across all seven lower-extremity biomechanical axes to accomplish specific as well as global ambulatory objectives related to lower extremity performance improvement, injury prevention and rehabilitation. A device comprising at least one articulating leg connected to a ground-effect footplate and a surface for a user to position against. The device can be used in conjunction with software to create virtual ambulatory environments that mimic GRFVs and cause moments of force that initiate muscular activations that substantially mimic human ambulation, and can couple those movements with non-functional movements in order to improve ROM, speed, strength, and proprioception.

An exercise machine may include a frame, a resistance mechanism supported by the frame, first and second pull cables supported by the frame and linked to the resistance mechanism, a power rack attached to the frame, first and second handles selectively attachable to the first and second pull cable, and first and second pulleys. The power rack includes upright posts configured to have barbell holders adjustably attached thereto such that the barbell holders are configured to be adjusted in various positions between highest positions and lowest positions on the upright posts. The pulleys are configured to selectively receive the pull cables to enable the pull cables to be selectively attached to a barbell to assist or hinder a user in lifting the barbell in a combined cable and free weight workout, the pull cables decoupled from the pulleys for cable workouts.
