Therapeutic walking trainer
A therapeutic walking trainer with a foot receiving portion for receiving at least a sub-region the forefoot of a user or for forming a connection with a toe of a shoe, having at least one main carrier which can be displaced in and/or counter to an adjustment direction, and with an actively and/or passively operable adjustment unit for the relative adjustment, oriented essentially perpendicular to the adjustment direction, of the foot receiving portion relative to the at least one main carrier.
Motorized recumbent therapeutic and exercise device
A device for therapy or exercise includes a frame, a base at least partially supporting and extending from the frame, a user support moveably coupled to the base and positioned adjacent the frame, a foot crank system coupled to the frame, a hand crank system coupled to the frame, and a motor coupled to at least one of the foot crank system and the hand crank system. The motor selectively powers the foot crank system and the hand crank system and is operable in an active mode and a passive mode.
Portable lower limb therapy device
A portable lower limb therapy device having a support base and a pulley 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 pulley system defines a closed force transfer system that is integrated with the support base. The pulley system employs a pair of cord members which run along the right and left sides of the support member, a cross member positioned above the support member and connected at each end to one of the cord members, and two adjustable handle mechanisms. The pulley system is configured to transfer force applied behind and above the foot of a user that is in the support base to the support base.
YOGA BAND AND METHOD OF USING SAID YOGA BAND TO PERFORM A YOGA POSE
A yoga band is configured with a retainer band loop for donning around a hand, wrist or foot and both an inner pose strap and an outer pose strap that may be elastic to enable stretching and holding of poses. The inner pose strap and an outer pose enable different levels or extensions for performing yoga poses, or a progressive stretching from the outer pose strap to the inner pose strap, for example. A yogi may extend the outer pose strap initially, as it may extend further than the inner pose strap, and therefore may be easier to reach and hold the yoga pose. As the yogi progresses, they may extend the inner pose strap which is shorter in length, thereby achieving a greater stretch. The inner and outer pose straps are coupled with a retainer strap component of the retainer band loop to provide a secure support.
Exercise device
An exercise device includes a footwear part, a brace part and at least one resistance band. The footwear part has a foot receiving portion configured to receive a front portion of a user's foot. The brace part is configured to be releasably attached to a knee area of the user. The at least one resistance band is configured to be releasably secured at opposite ends thereof to the footwear part and brace part, respectively. The exercise device can be used, among other things, for conditioning and strengthening, for aerobic exercises, and to help individuals maintain proper foot placement throughout an entire exercise and improve their form by helping them stay on their forefoot when performing an exercise dealing with brisk walking or running.
Physical therapy boot
A physical therapy system including a boot assembly, a track assembly and a communications assembly is disclosed. The boot assembly includes a boot that is worn on the foot of the user with the knee that requires treatment. The boot includes a cushioned sole provided by a sponge within the boot. The sponge being entirely enclosed by a cover. The track assembly includes a track on which the boot is maneuvered on. The boot and the track having a low friction coefficient to allow the boot to easily slid on the track. The user may maneuver the boot in a manner that rehabilitates their knee. Within the boot is the communication assembly which includes a processor and sensors to gather data from the usage of the boot. The collected data is communicated to a mobile device allowing a user to track their therapy sessions and progress.
Controlled squat strength-training machine
A controlled squat strength-training machine includes a frame with a base mounting forward, intermediate, and rear uprights. The intermediate upright is pivotally connected to the base and is configured for limited rotation fore-and-aft. Knee pads are provided for restraining of users' knees. Users can adjust the resistance of the machine and thereby very the exercises performed thereon.
Foot Stretching Device
A foot stretching device for stretching the structures of a foot comprises a base for receiving a rear portion of the foot to be stretched and a toe plate for receiving the toes of the foot to be stretched. The toe plate is disposed on and pivotable relative to the base. The device further comprises a member coupled to and/or configured to engage the toe plate, such that a tensile force applied to the member by a user pivots the toe plate relative to the base. and thus the user's toes relative to the rear portion of their foot. This action causes the toes to move into a more extended position thus producing a stretch in the tissues of the foot, in particular the musculature associated with the planar fascia.
EXERCISING GARMENT
An exercising garment comprising resistance bands configured to stretch from a relaxed position to a resistance position. The resistance bands can be coupled to a modified pants. The pants may comprise an additional strip of fabric located within each pant leg defining a channel configured to receive and secure the integral exercising resistance bands. The resistance bands having a first end positioned at a location near the waist height of a user and a second end positioned at a location near the foot height of the user. The second end may include loops for removably inserting the user's feet.
DRIVING SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE MOVEMENT OF AN OBJECT WITH TWO DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF ROTATION AND REHABILITATION MACHINE FOR REHABILITATION OF THE LOWER LIMBS AND THE TRUNK INCORPORATING SUCH A SYSTEM
A system includes a first support structure which is stationary, a second support structure which is supported by the first support structure for rotation about a first axis of rotation, a first actuation unit having a first motor device, a first output member and a first motion transmission system. The system also includes a second actuation unit having a second motor device, a second output member and a second motion transmission system. The first output member is drivingly connected with the second support structure for rotation about the first axis of rotation. The first motor device is arranged to control, via the first motion transmission system, the rotation of the first output member, along with the second support structure, about the first axis of rotation. The second output member is supported by the second support structure for rotation about a second axis of rotation.
