The Follow Through Fixer is a basketball shooting aid that is worn on a basketball player's shooting arm. It helps a player straighten their follow through, correct their finger spacing, and quicken their release time. The present invention also comes with a unique assembly and design that allows for a player to take the device on and off easily, allowing them to seamlessly transition from practicing with the shooting aid to playing without it.

A boxing glove is provided with a pouch located at the back-of-a-hand position of the glove underneath a continuous layer of glove material. The pouch has a zippered opening extending along the index finger of the glove to allow insertion of a weighted block therein. Adding a weighted block allows the wearer to increase the intensity of boxing and exercise when using the glove. Positioning of the pouch underneath the continuous layer of glove material improves the durability of the glove.

An individual linkage mechanism for a finger of an exoskeleton glove with sections that are interconnected with joints to enable changing their mutual angular orientation, which linkage mechanism includes a first linkage attached to the glove, a second linkage connected to the first linkage through a first joint, a third linkage connected to the second linkage through a second joint, and a fourth linkage connected to the third linkage through a third joint, wherein the fourth linkage is provided with a finger orthosis, and the second linkage, the third linkage and the fourth linkage are capable to assume a mutually parallel placement wherein the finger orthosis is adjacent to the second joint at a farthest end from the glove, and the third joint is closer to the glove than the second joint.

Methods and devices for isolating muscle groups during exercise are provided. According to an aspect of the invention, a device includes a first strap that has a first loop shape, a second strap that has a second closed loop shape defining a fixed opening, and a third strap that has a third closed loop shape. A first portion of the first strap is affixed to or integral with the second strap, a second portion of the first strap is arranged to be movable within the fixed opening defined by the second closed loop shape, the second portion of the first strap is affixed to or integral with the third strap, and a first adjustable opening within the first loop shape is configured to be adjusted by changing a relative position of the second portion of the first strap and the fixed opening defined by the second closed loop shape.

A device and method may be provided including at least one handle and at least one anchor point. The device may be operable to provide a resistance to a user of the device who fixes the device using the anchor point and pulls on the handle. The device may include a casing; a center rod rotatable mounted in the casing; a cable wound around the center rod and coupled to the handle; and a mechanism mounted on the central rod. The mechanism may be responsive with a centrifugal force to movement of the cable to rotate the central rod. The mechanism may include an anchor coupled to the central rod, and at least one weight connected by a wire to a ring that is movable along the central rod against the resistance of a spring.

An improved yoga strap comprising at least two adjustable and locking buckles, one buckle at end of the improved yoga strap to create a loop at each end of the yoga strap, giving the improved yoga strap more utilitarian applications than a standard yoga strap. A second embodiment of an improved yoga strap has a center loop. A third embodiment has an elastic resistance band and clips.

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.

The present invention is directed to a gripping handle that tightens to a hand when pulling force is applied and loosens from the hand when pulling force is not applied. The gripping handle may comprise a dowel, a first and second loop, an attachment point, and a flexible connector running from the attachment point, through the first loop, along the dowel, through the second loop, and back to the attachment point. A portion of the flexible connector running along the dowel may loop over a hand gripping the dowel and may tighten to the hand when the dowel is pulled on. The flexible connector may loosen from the hand when the dowel is no longer being pulled. The present invention additionally features an exercise device comprising the gripping handle attached by a cord running through a pulley component to a weight.

A fitness ball includes a ball portion having a generally spherical-shaped resilient shell, a pocket disposed in the ball portion and defining an opening in the ball portion, and a handle extending from a first point on an inner surface of the pocket to a second point on the inner surface of the pocket. In some embodiments, the fitness ball further includes an impact-absorbent filler material disposed in an inner cavity defined by the resilient shell and the pocket. In other embodiments, the fitness ball includes one or more gel inserts embedded in the pocket to cushion impact of a user's hand with the pocket. In other embodiments, the pocket is adhered to the resilient shell by an adhesive disposed between an interfacing portion of the resilient shell and a corresponding lip of the pocket which overlaps the interfacing portion of the resilient shell.

A robot system for active and passive upper limb rehabilitation training based on a force feedback technology includes a robot body and an active and passive training host computer system. Active and passive rehabilitation training may be performed at degrees of freedom such as adduction/abduction and flexion/extension of left and right shoulder joints, and flexion/extension of left and right elbow joints according to a condition of a patient. In a passive rehabilitation training mode, the robot body drives the upper limb of the patient to move according to a track specified by the host computer, to gradually restore a basic motion function of the upper limb. In an active rehabilitation training mode, the patient holds the tail ends of the robot body with both hands to interact with a rehabilitation training scene, and can feel real and accurate force feedback.
