An illumination device for directing light into a transparent fluid tank of a fluid-resistance exercise machine is disclosed. The device can be coupled with an exterior surface of the tank and includes a light source oriented to project light through a surface and into a region of the fluid tank where the light can be observed by a user of the machine during operation, especially when a rotary device disturbs the fluid to generate the fluid resistance effect. The illumination device can include a control unit having a processor and a communication device, where the communication device receives an exercise-related parameter relayed during operation of the exercise machine. In response the control unit can dynamically adjust a quality of the light as a function of the received parameter, such as heartrate, output, resistance, time, distance, or speed.

Also described herein are various methods and related structures for changing the shape and/or height of the chamber. Described herein are various types and configurations of chambers and support structures for chambers. Also described herein are various methods and related systems for treating various conditions using the differential air pressure systems, including but not limited to obesity, cardiac disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or Down Syndrome.

Disclosed is a system for performing motor activity, including a plurality of modular devices, each modular device including a unit for generating at least one sensory stimulus, a generation unit activation unit and a mechanism for detecting a human reaction to the stimuli, there being provided an external control unit intended to generate commands for the activation unit of each modular device. The external control unit includes a unit for measuring the parameters acquired by one or more sensors associated with the body of at least one person.

Systems, methods, and computer-readable mediums for operating an electromechanical device are disclosed. The system includes, in one example, the electromechanical device, a patient portal, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive user data relating to a user, and receive treatment data relating to treatment plans and outcomes. The computing device is also configured to generate a prehabilitation plan by using a machine learning model to process the user data and the treatment data. The computing device is further configured to select, for the electromechanical device, an electromechanical device configuration that enables exercises of the prehabilitation plan to be performed by the user such that performance improves an area of the user's body. The computing device is also configured to enable the electromechanical device to implement the electromechanical device configuration.

An interactive exercise system includes a mechanical support system and a display module held by the mechanical support system. At least one force-controlled component is engageable by a user and connected to the mechanical support system, with the force-controlled component configure to reduce force when applied user force is great enough to cause tip-over or unwanted movement of the mechanical support system. The force-controlled component can be graspable by a user and allows for a range of exercise types and programs.

When controlling load torque of a drive unit on the basis of a biological signal detected from a subject's lower limb parts, adjustments are made to a hybrid ratio of voluntary control to generate running torque and a rotational speed of a crank according to the subject's intention and autonomous control to generate assisting power for the subject's pedaling motion on the basis of a rotation angle of the crank.

A program is presented to a user including a stream of content including a first auditory content and a first visual content related to the workout. A context state of the user participating in the workout is determined based on information from a sensor. A responsive content is selectively added based on the context state of the user to the stream of content in a manner that avoids conflict with the stream of content.

An adjustably tensioned, transverse-suspended elastic element exercise device is disclosed. The transverse element is suspended between rigidly mounted frame or arm elements and sized so as to enable full range of motion exercises. The tension and height of the transverse elastic member can be adjusted to accommodate varying exercise levels and positions. The assembly may include handgrips and attachments to augment workouts. Electronic adjustability, metrics, programmability and Internet connectivity enhance the user experience. A method of using the device is also disclosed.

A method for assessing exercise fatigue includes obtaining exercise heart rates of a user; calculating a CTL and an ATL based on the exercise heart rates and an exercise load computation model; calculating a TSB based on the CTL and the ATL; and determining a fatigue level based on the TSB. Such a determination of fatigue level will not be affected by subjective factors, thereby the scientificity and accuracy of the assessment result are effectively improved, and the assessment result is closer to the user's current physical function condition.

An evaluation device, comprises a controller configured to: obtain exercise data, the exercise data being data related to exercise performed by a user; generate incentive data based on the exercise data, the incentive data indicating incentives to be provided to the user; determine whether an exercise appropriate for the user is being performed, the determining being performed based on the exercise data; and when determining that an exercise appropriate for the user is not performed, adjust an amount of the incentives to be provided to the user.
