A body weight support system includes a tether configured to be coupled to an attachment device worn by a user to couple the user to the body weight support system. A method of providing gait training includes defining a reference length of the tether when the attachment device is in an initial position and defining a threshold length of the tether. A first amount of body weight support is provided during the gait training as the user moves relative to a surface and the length of the tether is less than the threshold length. A second amount of body weight support is provided during the gait training as the user moves relative to the surface and the length of the tether is greater than the threshold length. The method further includes displaying data associated with the gait training on a display of an electronic device.

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.

A multi-purpose athletic training platform exercise device is provided. A user may stand atop a platform and exercise while connected to a downward pulling source of resistance. This machine allows the user to walk forwards, backwards and side-to-side freely while still having attachment to the resistance source via a connecting means. This will activate all the muscles in the lower body while tractioning the lower back and helping to reduce pelvic tilt. The resistance may be varied during the user effort. The user is able to step off the machine to climb up or down a step, or walk up and down a ramp that may be provided.

A patient aid assembly includes an upper extremity support assembly and a housing associated therewith. The housing slidingly engages a rail and allows relative movements therealong. First and second upper extremity support assemblies are received on first and second rails, respectively. An interconnecting member us hingedly connected to each of first and second housings that support the UE support assemblies.

A weighted walker attachment system generally comprises a kit of weighted walker attachments that can be mounted to standard walker or other assistive perambulatory device for use in physical therapy and rehabilitation. A plurality of weighted attachments are provided and adapted to be mounted at a variety of locations on an assistive device. The weight of each attachment can be adjusted, as needed, for example, by adding or removing individual weighted plates mounted on a base plate that itself is removably mounted to the assistive device. In alternate kits, interchangeable weighted attachments can be provided in varying weights, distinguished by optical and/or tactile indicators, and selectively mounted on the assistive device, either as an accessory or in replacing a portion of the device, such as extensions provided on a walker's legs, in accordance with a therapeutic rehabilitation plan for an individual patient.

A resistive device that enables adjustable resistance in at least one direction using an attachment system and associated eddy current braking system. The resistive device can be bench-mounted, in some embodiments, used for physical therapy caused by neuromuscular diseases, such as stroke and cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders, general disuse, or even for overall fitness.

A system for gait training which includes a slidable assembly for attaching to the foot with or without a shoe, on the affected side of a subject. When the subject shifts his or her body weight away from the affected side, the slidable assembly is capable of forward and backward movement to follow the swinging movement of the leg. When the subject shifts their body weight to the affected side and thereby applies weight to his or her swinging leg and the slidable assembly, a passive braking system is automatically actuated arrests any further movement of the affected limb.

A tool for training and evaluating a motion control function through vision while the direction and range of motion is restricted by the tool, and a method for using the same, and to improve storage convenience. A training tool is configured such that lattices are formed by using a belt having a width (S) in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction to be spread out and placed on the floor or the ground. The training tool is formed from a plurality of lattices arranged in vertical and horizontal squares, and the length of a lattice in any one of the vertical and horizontal columns is the length of (L-S) that is shorter by the width of the belt than the length (L) of each of lattices in other columns, whereby the tool is foldable such that the tool is integrated to overlap with one lattice.

A lower body assist device for assisting a user while performing lower body workouts is provided. The lower body assist device generally comprises handle bars, a frame, and friction reduction apparatuses. The handle bars generally comprise a shaft and support bar having handles. The frame generally comprises a main trunk and frame supports, wherein said frame supports are connected to said main trunk. The method generally entails obtaining the device, bending over and grasping the device, and moving from a starting location to a desired location. A user may also squat while grasping the device before moving from a starting location to a desired location.

A wearable device that enables adjustable resistance to the extremity of a user using an attachment system and associated eddy current braking system. The wearable resistive device can be used for physical therapy made necessary due to weakness caused by neuromuscular diseases, such as stroke and cerebral palsy, orthopedic disorders, general disuse, or even for overall fitness.
