Provided is an apparatus for functional training of an ankle and toe, which can provide better service results. An apparatus for functional training of an ankle and toe includes a foot platform configured to receive a foot of a user and disposed to face a portion of the foot of the user from rearfoot to forefoot; and an artificial muscle configured to displace the foot platform when operated. The apparatus for functional training of an ankle and toe further includes a toe platform disposed to face a toe of the user when the foot of the user is placed on the foot platform. The toe platform is configured to be displaced with respect to the foot platform when the artificial muscle is operated to displace the foot platform.

A toe-tapping exercise machine includes: a foot rest part having a right foot rest adapted to seat a user's right foot thereon and a left foot rest adapted to seat the user's left foot thereon; and an operating part coupled to the foot rest part to allow toe portions of the foot rest part to tap each other, the operating part including: a driving motor for transferring rotating power; a right foot rest operator for receiving the rotating power from the driving motor to operate the right foot rest; and a left foot rest operator for receiving the rotating power from the driving motor to operate the left foot rest, the driving motor being disposed between the right foot rest operator and the left foot rest operator and having rotary shafts extended from both sides thereof.

A therapy device for treating left-side and right-side body parts comprises a single-piece base plate having a left surface and a right surface, a moving segment having a support surface for a left- or right-side body part to be treated, and a drive for pivoting the moving segment back and forth relative to the base plate. The moving segment is fastened to the base plate so as to be pivotable around an axis of rotation. The left surface of the base plate is shaped for supporting thereon a left-side body portion assigned to a left-side body part to be treated. The right surface of the base plate is shaped for supporting thereon a right-side body portion assigned to a right-side body part to be treated.

A corrugated tube includes a hollow tube formed of several crests and several troughs connected alternately. The middle of an end face of a tail end of the corrugated tube is provided with a boss; and both a first section of a head end and a last section of a tail end of the corrugated tube are crests, with the width of both the crest of the first section of the head end and the crest of the last section of the tail end being greater than the thickness of the corrugated tube, preventing the tail end and the head end of the corrugated tube from collapsing inwards when the air pressure in the corrugated tube decreases.

A lower limb (1) of an ambulatory exoskeleton comprising at least a pelvis segment (10). a leg segment (20) and a foot segment (30), the leg segment (20) being hinged at the First end (21) of same to the pelvis segment (10) and at the second end (24) of same to the foot segment (30). the leg segment (20) comprising a spring element (25) and means (40. 44) for varying the distance (d) separating the ends (21. 24) of the leg segment (20), the means (40. 44) for varying the distance (d) separating the ends (21. 24) of the leg segment (20) being carried by the pelvis segment (10).

Disclosed herein are a device for exercising intrinsic foot muscles. The device comprises a base formed of a visco-elastic material and a solid toe plate coupled to a top of the base. The toe plate is shaped to receive the curvature of the bottom of human toes so as to distribute a counterforce from pressure applied by one or more of a plurality of a person's toes among the plurality of the person's toes. The base is configured to compress as a result of the pressure received when the toe plate is gripped by the person's toes while the person's foot is positioned on top of the base. The device may be useful for treatment of plantar fasciitis, among other conditions.

A hands-free human exercise apparatus and method, including a method of use. The stretching apparatus and method promote beneficial stretching of ambulatory muscles for a broad spectrum of users, to maintain and increase flexibility and dexterity, improved joint health, mobility, or pain management, and facilitating greater balance and proprioception and stimulating rehabilitation. The apparatus includes a multi-directional, multi-configurable, and adjustable harness comprising a one or dual strap configuration having a unique multi joint activating foot anchor. The apparatus and method facilitate stretching of a single leg, or both legs, through the ambulatory chain of muscles and joints, and with the foot anchor exploiting the flexion of the spine, full extension of the leg and pelvis, and the full flexion of the user's foot.

A link assembly includes a main frame, a base link rotatably connected to the main frame, an input link rotatably connected to the main frame, and an output link at least 2-degree of freedom (DOF) rotatably connected to the main frame.

Disclosed is a device that positions the foot with respect to one or more surfaces to manipulate the foot and, optionally, the ankle and lower leg for stretching and strengthening of the muscles, tendons, and ligaments of the foot, ankle, and lower leg. The device includes a base configured to provide support for the device against a surface. The device also includes one or more of a first portion having a first surface shaped to compliment a heel of the at least one foot, with the heel against the first surface; a second portion having a second surface shaped to position a forefoot of the at least one foot in plantar flexion with the forefoot against the second surface; and one or more of a third portion having a third surface shaped to position one or more toes of the at least one foot in extension with the one or more toes against the third surface.

An apparatus for rehabilitating a leg includes a base plate; a first plate having a structure such that the first plate is rotatable to lift up a toe part; a second plate having a rotatable structure to enable a sole of the patient to perform inversion and eversion movements and to allow a side surface of the sole to move up and down; a driving device; a power transfer device; and a controller. The first plate includes an outer frame, a first frame for connecting central portions of mutually facing sides of the outer frame to each other to form opening parts at two sides thereof, a second frame, and a rotational part. The second plate is prepared as a pair, and the pair of second plates include second plate bodies disposed in the opening parts, respectively, and connected to the rotational part.
