Method and device for acquiring stream of the precisely time-stamped images, including the modulated light source, controlled by the absolute global real-time-base (e.g. provided by global navigation satellite system (GNSS) controller) and the image acquisition and processing unit, decoding the light modulation waveform and determining the time-stamp for every image frame. The GNSS time and position messages can be used to provide the full time- and location stamps for each frame. Multi-element light sources can be used to have more informative light modulation in the time domain. For time-stamping of several image streams (e.g. from several cameras) multiple light sources with the same modulation can be used.

Disclosed is a light and portable fitness apparatus for performing Pilates-style exercises. The disclosed apparatus comprises a pair of wheel assemblies connected by a shaft which may be used to perform Pilates-style exercises by a variety of activities such as lifting or rolling the apparatus. The connection bar of the apparatus is offset from the center of the wheel assemblies and rotatable from the outer portion of the wheel assembly. The offset position allows the connection bar and wheel assemblies to act as a stable rolling platform, similarly to the platform of a Pilates reformer, but as a lightweight, portable apparatus.

A portable exercise device allowing a user to perform Pilates type exercises without using traditional, cumbersome equipment. The device uses a pair of wheel assemblies respectively attached to opposing ends of a central shaft. A shaft height can be adjusted from a center of each wheel to a lower point closer to a ground surface. Adjustable cam lockable hand/foot plates are attached to the shaft allowing the user to attach his or her feet to the shaft. Each hand/foot plate includes a rotational plate that allows the hand/foot plate to be positioned at various angles in relation to the shaft. Resistance bands are attached on one side to the shaft and on the opposite side to a resistance source. The resistance source can be the user's own hands or feet, or a retaining strap attached to a lower portion of a door or wall.

A device for training abductors and/or adductors of the hip joint, having a frame and guided, movable seating. The characterizing feature of the device is that abductors and/or adductors of the hip joint can be trained. To this end, the guiding component of the seating, which is pivotally connected to the frame and can be locked in various positions, has a first rest for at least lateral placement of the knee, at least a lower leg region and/or at least a thigh region of one leg. Furthermore, the guided component of the seating is provided with a seat having a second rest and a third rest for lateral placement of at least the upper region of the pelvis and/or at least a region of the upper body. The second rest and/or the third rest can be adjusted into and locked in its position in order to provide lateral fixing.

A device and methods for bilateral or unilateral physical therapy of lower limbs are disclosed. The device comprises a curved rail mounted on a base and a pair of support members configured to accommodate a portion of a leg of a person, and to slide along the curved rail. The curved rail allows lateral movements of the lower limbs with the support members, the movements being driven by a force of the lower limbs. The methods of the invention allow physical unilateral or bilateral therapy of lower limbs of a person. The initial reinforcement of the lower limbs of a person is improved by the use of this device, which reduces the friction or the resistance caused by the device during the prescribed movements. The invention provides to patients with severe lower limb disability, a physical therapy device that is easy to use with minimum supervision by a physical therapist.

An exercise machine carriage system which allows for a wide range of exercises while maintaining improved balance and control for the exerciser. The exercise machine generally includes a stationary frame and a carriage adapted to slide along at least one track on the frame. The carriage may include at least one opening on its upper surface to be used by an exerciser to perform a variety of exercises. The carriage may also include, either in combination with the openings or alternatively, at least one carriage strap extending across its upper surface for use in a variety of exercises. Platforms may also be included on either end of the frame, each of the platforms including its own platform strap. By utilizing such openings and/or straps, a wide variety of exercises may be accomplished that otherwise would be difficult or impossible to perform on conventional exercise machines.

A hip rehabilitation device with controlled motion through a foothold truck and track system with adjustable resistance for strengthening hip flexion and abduction muscles, that may include a secondary ramp with a 180 rotated foothold truck to strengthen hip extension and adduction muscles and a sensing and feedback system which records and communicates data related to motion on the track systems.

Bath for exercising, the bath containing substantially vertical wall portion, and a suitably configured bath bottom, from which extends an exercise base, wherein the bath bottom is formed so that the bath is the deepest in the area where the person lying on the exercise base reaches when moving her legs, the bath is lower in the area where she reaches when moving her arms, wherein the bath bottom is shaped so that in the top view it follows the trajectory of the user can reach when moving her limbs.

An exercising device includes a housing member having one or more rollers, and having a handle device, the handle device is pivotally attached to the housing member with a pivot spindle for allowing the handle device to be rotated relative to the housing member between an upwardly extended working position and a folding position. The handle device includes two end portions pivotally attached to the housing member with the pivot spindle. The housing member includes two seats for engaging with the end portions of the handle device and for supporting the handle device at the upwardly extended working position.

A balance board fitness training device is provided. The fitness training device may include a deck having a top surface, a bottom surface, and opposing first and second side edges and opposing front and rear longitudinal edges together forming a perimeter of the deck; at least one wheel bracket structure positioned below the deck, the at least one wheel bracket structure rotatably supporting at least two wheels and configured so as to be movable relative to the deck about a pivot line at least partially extending between the opposing first and second side edges of the deck; and at least one resilient member connected to the at least one wheel bracket structure and the deck.
