Both ends of the elastic bands are respectively disposed with a buckle, and one end of the elastic band is connected with the snap ring on the body of the aforesaid fitness shoes through the buckle.
GLUTE BRIDGE APPARATUS
An exercise device is provided. The exercise device is formed of a resistance loop wearable over the waist and feet to provide resistance for performing glute bridge exercise. The resistance loop is light weight and portable and allows resistance glute bridge exercise to be performed anywhere a glute bridge exercise may be performed.
Driving system for controlling the rotation of an object about two perpendicular axes of rotation and rehabilitation machine for rehabilitation of the lower limbs and the trunk incorporating such a driving system
The driving system comprises: a first support structure; a second support structure supported by the first support structure for rotation about a stationary axis of rotation; a first actuation unit having a first motor device and a first output member; and a second actuation unit having a second motor device and a second output member. The first output member is drivingly connected with the second support structure for rotation about the first axis of rotation. The first motor device controls 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. The second motor device controls the rotation of the second output member about the second axis of rotation.
Resistance Training System
A physical training system includes a belt having a belt attachment member and a first band attachment loop for an elastomeric belt. The belt attachment member is moveably positioned on the belt and at least partially encircles the belt. The belt attachment member comprises a first portion and a second portion, the first portion extending completely across a width of the belt on the outer side of the belt, and the second portion extending at least partially across the width of the belt on the inner side of the belt. The first band attachment loop is moveably connected to the belt attachment member. The elastomeric band extends through the first band attachment loop. A foot coupling includes at least one flexible strap and a second band attachment loop. The elastomeric band extends between the foot coupling and the belt attachment member.
Tandem sit-up device
A tandem sit-up device is provided. The tandem sit-up device has two support frameworks pivotably interconnected by a pivot bar so that the device moves between a flat, operable condition and a folded, storage condition. A distal end of the support framework may provide a seat portion. The pivot bar may provide an inner disc and outer disc rotatable relative to each other for moving between the operable and storage conditions. Each disc type provides a pair of arms for a proximal end of each support framework to selectively attach to so that a distance between the associated seat portion and a foot strap supported by the pair of arms.
PORTABLE THERAPEUTIC STRENGTHENING APPARATUS USING ADJUSTABLE RESISTANCE
A lightweight, portable leg strengthening apparatus includes a footplate and calf support which form a leg rest, a top a friction free sliding element running longitudinally along and supported on a rectangular base. The leg rest is hinged at its attachment to the sliding element to allow a longitudinal tilting movement. The leg rest has adjustability at the hinge point at the ankle to enable alterations in the foot position. The leg rest has a removable heel support which provides the ability for either no pressure of full pressure to be exerted through the heel area of the user. The leg rest is able to be rotated 180° to allow for the user to either push the leg rest a top the guide member away from the user to allow the user to work their quadriceps, or may be pulled towards the user allowing the user to work their hamstring. The apparatus uses resistance material/rubber cords or springs attached via a plate to a steel cable, travelling via an aperture in the end of the device to the back of the sliding element a top the body of the device to create tension as the leg rest a top the sliding element is moved longitudinally along the body of the device. Resistance can be varied and progressed by using different numbers of resistance cords/springs. Organ stop devices are used to engage and disengage the resistance means so that the user has no need to have physical contact with said resistance means. A movable block on the rear of the device behind the sliding element prevents a patient flexing the knee and hip further than is appropriate for them. Fold away legs that are rotated out from under the device and locked into place make the device versatile for using whilst seated or folded away for use on a bed. A contact sensor at the front of the device enables visual display of number of repetitions achieved on a screen at the rear of the apparatus.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSISTIVE EXOSUIT SYSTEM
Exosuit systems and methods according to various embodiments are described herein. The exosuit system can be a suit that is worn by a wearer on the outside of his or her body. It may be worn under the wearer's normal clothing, over their clothing, between layers of clothing, or may be the wearer's primary clothing itself. The exosuit may be assistive, as it physically assists the wearer in performing particular activities, or can provide other functionality such as communication to the wearer through physical expressions to the body, engagement of the environment, or capturing of information from the wearer.
Dual hand controlled device for leg stretching and/or activation
An independent stretching device comprises a back brace configured to pass across and brace against a user's back. A first connector is secured to a first end of the lower back brace, and is threaded through a first pulley. A second connector is secured to a second end of the lower back brace on an opposite side of the user to the first end of the back brace, the second connector being threaded through a second pulley. A foot stirrup is provided for receiving a foot of the user, and has a first end connected to the first pulley and a second end connected to the second pulley. Tension applied to respective distal ends of the first and second connectors distal from the back brace creates tension which urges the foot stirrup and the back brace toward each other.
Active arm passive leg exercise machine with guided leg movement
An exercise machine has a main frame, two base link members supported for cyclical movement on base tracks on the main frame, two handles pivotal about a handle axis on the frame in which the handles are operatively connected to the base link members respectively such that a cyclical movement of the handles drives the cyclical movement of the respective base link members, a foot support carried on each base link member for supporting a respective foot of the user thereon through a walking motion of the user as the base link members are moved cyclically, a torso support on the main frame supporting a torso of the user thereon having one or more degrees of freedom relative to the main frame, and leg linkages connected between the main frame and respective ones of the base link members with bracing to secure legs of the user therein.
Muscular training tension band for equestrian riding
A muscular training tension band for equestrian riding has an elastic body and a shoulder guard. In use, the elastic body is worn and stretched between a wearer's shoulder and contralateral foot, with the shoulder guard positioned on the shoulder. The tension band functions to recruit correct engagement of a horseback rider's postural stabilizing muscles in order to find a functionally effective and balanced pelvis in the saddle, while also protecting the spine and decreasing the risk of repetitive force related injuries.
