UNWEIGHTING DEVICES
An unweighting device of the present specification. The unweighting device generally includes a standalone cage system having a rail, or a plurality of rails, allowing a user to connect thereto. The user of the unweighting system wears a harness. The harness connect to a plurality of flexible bands which connect directly to a roller subassembly. The roller subassembly, which connects to the rail or rails of the cage, allow the user to move in a lateral direction. The bands connected to the user allow the user to move in an up and down direction thereby, when combined with the rolling movement, provide for dynamic movement of the user when using the unweighting device.
Agility ladder projection systems, devices, and methods
Systems, devices, and methods for projecting an agility ladder onto a ground surface. A device may include a light source and an optical element configured to include an image of the agility ladder having a plurality of adjacent enclosed zones. The optical element may be positioned to allow the light source to project light through the optical element. The device may include at least one optical lens positioned such that the optical element is between the light source and the at least one optical lens. The at least one optical lens may be configured to magnify and project the image onto the ground surface. The device may include a plurality of sensors configured to detect an appendage partially or completely stepped within each of the plurality of adjacent enclosed zones. The device may include a processor coupled to the sensors and programmed to determine one or more training metrics.
Quick folding agility ladder
A quick folding agility ladder and methods of folding and opening the agility ladder are disclosed. In one embodiment, the quick folding agility ladder can comprise a plurality of rectangular ladder frames and a plurality of ladder rung sleeves connecting the rectangular ladder frames. The plurality of ladder rung sleeves can comprise a first rung sleeve and a second rung sleeve. The agility ladder can be folded into a quadrifolium configuration comprising four petal-shaped portions including a first petal-shaped portion, a second petal-shaped portion, a third petal-shaped portion, and a fourth petal-shaped portion. The first rung sleeve can form at least part of the first petal-shaped portion and the fourth petal-shaped portion and the second rung sleeve can form at least part of the second petal-shaped portion and the third petal-shaped portion.
AQUATIC EXERCISE SYSTEM
An aquatic exercise system may include a water tank including a watertight entrance that may allow a user enter and exit the water tank. The aquatic exercise system may further include a vertical watertight gate that may be disposed within the water tank and divide an interior of the water tank into a first tank portion and a second tank portion, a treadmill assembly that may be disposed within the second tank portion, and a water circulation mechanism that may be connected in fluid communication with the first tank portion and the second tank portion and transfer the water between the first tank portion and the second tank portion.
Modular Agility Device
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a grid member useful for constructing an exercise grid, said grid member comprising: a first end and a second end, the first and second ends being attached to a connector, the connector comprising a first narrow end and a second wide end. In another aspect, the present disclosure provides an exercise grid comprising a plurality of grid members, the grid members comprising: a first end and a second end, the first and second ends being attached to a connector, the connector comprising a first narrow end and a second wide end.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR BODY WEIGHT SUPPORT SYSTEM
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.
Apparatus for accommodating a person and for partially limiting the freedom of movement of the person
The invention relates to an apparatus (100) for accommodating at least one person (25) and for partially limiting the freedom of movement of the person (25) accommodated in the apparatus (100), comprising a platform (7a) and a first annular part (13) arranged above the platform (7a) for surrounding the at least one person (25), wherein the annular part (13) is rotatable in relation to the platform (7a), wherein the annular part (13) can be moved up and down in relation to the platform (7a).
Exercise apparatus
A running exercise device is provided having a waist engaged belt connected to a first shoulder strap and second shoulder strap. Elastic bands extend between the waist belt and each of first and second leg bands positionable on the upper legs of the user. Lower leg bands may also be employed which have elastic leg bands extending between each lower leg band and a respective shoe on the foot of the user.
Collapsible dual-transverse bar portable physical therapy parallel bar systems
The present invention is directed to a physical therapy device capable of folding into a single portable device comprising a frame comprising a first lengthwise bar and a second lengthwise bar; and a first transverse bar and a second transverse bar. The frame is configured to be adjusted between an unfolded configuration for use and a folded configuration for storage; a first set of stanchions, each coupled to at least a portion of the first lengthwise bar; and a first handrail coupled to a top portion of each of the first set of stanchions. In the folded configuration, the first lengthwise bar is parallel to the second lengthwise bar, and the first and second transverse bars are configured to hinge such that each bar folds towards a center region of the frame to be substantially parallel to the first and second lengthwise bars.
TRAINING A PATIENT IN MOVING AND WALKING
Disclosed are apparatuses and methods for training a patient in moving, by executing a session program comprising a plurality of exercises and the order by which the exercises are to be practiced by the patient. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a processor configured to: receive results of measurements made during an early stage of training according to the session program, said measurements being indicative of parameters characterizing the moving of the patient; and execute a later stage of the session program based on the results received during the early stage of the training.
