The present invention relates to improvements in or relating to tremor stabilisation apparatus and methods, in particular to gyroscopic devices for use in controlling tremors of parts of the body and for reducing effects of tremors on the human body. The apparatus includes a wearable element and at least one gyroscopic device mounted or mountable to the wearable element, the gyroscopic device including a gyroscope and a gyroscope housing. The at least one gyroscopic device may be mounted within the housing such that the gyroscope may precess with respect to the housing. The mount may include a hinge to which the gyroscope is mounted and a hinge plate or hinge mount to which the hinge is mounted for rotation with respect to the gyroscope housing, such as a turntable mounted to the gyroscope housing. The gyroscopic devices may include a control arrangement to control the precession of the gyroscope.

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.

A wearer is able to exercise the posterior (flex) muscles of the hand. Elastic bands attached to the glove cause the fingers to contract toward the palm and provide resistance when the fingers are straightened. The elastic bands are secured by bandlettes attached to the fingers and thumb of the glove. Palmlettes are attached at the base of the palm to keep the bands clear of the palm while wearing, so that ordinary tasks can be performed while wearing the glove.

An all-in-one exercise machine that is designed to increase a user's speed, agility, and strength uses a treadmill, either motorized or manual, that can be inclined. A resistance hub attaches via a cable to a body harness worn by the user and acts as a resistive take up reel against the user's running. Smaller resistance hubs attach via cables to elbow and hand sleeves worn by the user and resist against the back and forth arm movements of the user while the user is running on the treadmill. These latter resistance hubs also act as weight resistance hubs for weight training on the device, the cables having appropriate weight lifting implements attached thereto.

A joint extension system that embodies a method of exercise that applies progressive accommodating resistance to joint extension during closed-chain movement.

Exercise gloves for an exercise machine including a glove assembly and an attachment assembly is disclosed. The glove assembly includes a first and second glove each having a top and bottom surface and a first and second end. The top surface is adapted to receive a hand of a user thereon. The gloves are attached together at the first end. At the second end there are a plurality of loops adapted to receive the fingers of a person therein, thereby securing the gloves to a person. Therebetween the gloves is a central tubing having at least one strap inserted therethrough each having at least one ring to attach to an exercise machine. The central tubing is secured with an inner portion. The user can secure their hands in the gloves while the gloves are attached to an exercise machine to execute various exercises to target muscles more efficiently.

A resistance training device is disclosed, comprising at least one resistance element extending between a tensioning element and at least one arm component. The tensioning element is positioned on the dorsal side of the user and a pivot is provided near the elbow joint of the user to permit articulation of the arm component. A plurality of attachments comprise a first side and a second side to anchor the resistance element to the arm component to impart resistance to the user during movement.

Disclosed are systems and methods for resistance bands that enable the foot to serve as an anchor for the upper body. The disclosure enables the concurrent use of sparring gloves without restraining the use of hands or feet, allowing one to move about freely while still benefiting from the resistance bands. And the disclosure provides the option of being used interchangeably with exercise machines. Such methods, apparatuses, and systems are form fitting to the hand and feet and provide safe hand/foot support, so as to reduce the potential for injury regardless of increase in muscle activation and strengthening.

A shoulder motion exercise device, kit, and method of use having a retainer, a plurality of connectors, an extender, and a slider. The device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.

An exercise grip is disclosed. The exercise grip includes a protective portion and a wrist strap connected to a wrist end of the protective portion. The protective portion has a finger end in which three or four finger holes are defined. The protective portion also has a palm portion that extends from the finger holes to the wrist end. The protective portion varies in width from the wrist end to the finger end. The protective portion can be formed to cover an ulnar portion of a wrist when placed on a hand.
