An exercise machine for performing triceps press exercises, including a moving user support that supports the user in a seated position. The exercise machine includes a linkage assembly that allows the user support to tilt as the user performs a triceps press exercise. As the user extends his or her arms from the exercise starting position to the exercise ending position, the user support frameand thus the user's torsoreclines progressively backwards. The user's natural reaction to this reclining sensation is to bring his or her head forward, which encourages the user to plant his or her lower back firmly into a stable position against the back pad and in turn reduces the risk of injury associated with excessively arching of the lower back.

The present invention relates to a rehabilitation device (1) adapted for rehabilitating and/or exercising the shoulder region, as well as to the use of such a rehabilitation device. The device has a frame (1a), in connection with which are arranged support elements (2a, 2b) enabling the upright position of the upper body during the exercise, shoulder supports (4) holding the shoulder position of the user stationary during the exercise, pivot elements (10) arranged to the ends of elongated shaft portions (9) arranged on both sides of the vertical midline (L) of the frame (1a), motion shafts (7) arranged in connection with the pivot elements (10), and elbow supports (8) attaching to the end of each motion shaft (7), wherein the motion shafts (7) and elbow supports (8) are movable by the pivot elements (10). The angle () between the imaginary extension, extending towards frame (1a), of the pivot axis (A) of each pivot element (10) and the imaginary extension of the transverse midline (H) perpendicular in relation to the vertical direction of the frame is 60+5, and the angle (a) between the imaginary extension, extending towards frame (1a), of the pivot axis (A) of each pivot element (10) and the plane travelling through the midline (L) of the frame is 60+5.

The present application relates to a physical therapy device to strengthen and prevent atrophy in muscles for use while seated in a chair or a wheelchair or while lying in a bed. The physical therapy device includes a back rest; right and left upper arm rests coupled to the back rest by a first connector; and right and left lower arm rests coupled to the right and left upper arm rests, respectively, by a second connector. Each lower arm rest comprises a handle. Each upper arm rest is configured to move towards the back rest at the first connector to fold flush against the back rest. The physical therapy device further comprises an extender coupled to the back rest; right and left upper leg units coupled to the extender by a third connector; and right and left lower leg units coupled to the right and left upper leg units, respectively, by a fourth connector. Each lower leg unit comprises a stirrup.

Disclosed is an shoulder end range of motion improving device is comprising a linkage, the linkage including, a first link member, a second link member supported on the first link member, the second link member configured for being secured to an arm of a patient and being rotatable about a second link axis for rotating the arm of the patient about a shoulder joint of the patient through an arm range of motion, the second link axis being displaceable into a selectable fixed position and maintaining the fixed position during rotation of the second link member, an actuator for rotating the second link member about the second link axis, and a controller controlling the actuator for selectively rotating the second link member about the second link axis through the arm range of motion.

An exercise apparatus has at least one vertical wall structure, a floor and a ceiling forming a cage that can be square, rectangular, circular, oval or another suitable configuration. An arrangement of strategically placed attachment points on the wall structure, floor and ceiling enables easy attachment and detachment of a variety of resistance devices (e.g., a handheld and/or inline cable operated resistance creation device, or a stretch band resistance device) to any of the vertical and/or horizontal structures within the gym cage, thereby providing a nearly 360 degree dimensional point of resistance to perform a wide variety of exercises for different muscle groups and subgroups of the body. In one embodiment, the cage includes an arrangement of spaced apart vertical and horizontal frame members forming a rear wall and opposite side walls.

A physical exercise apparatus includes a frame, a seat, an arm, and a pair of cycling hand pedals. The seat is supported by the frame and is configured to support a user in an at least partially supine position. The arm is movably attached to a first portion of the frame and coupled with a linearly movable resistance load. The pair of cycling hand pedals is attached to a second portion of the frame and is independently movable from the arm so that the user can cycle the pair of cycling hand pedals while separately moving the arm with a portion of his or her lower body.

A multi-purpose fitness bar capable of being asymmetrically weighted. The fitness bar has a frame consisting of three arms, multiple handholds and elevated risers. The handholds are in a multitude of positions and angles to provide variability in training. Each arm is capable of being independently loaded with one or more removable weights to produce a symmetric or asymmetric weight load to provide increased torque with movement of the device as well as driving the body in movement patterns consistent with function. The elevated risers provide a space between the body of the device and floor to provide push-up function of the device by protecting the users hands from contact with the ground. The arms of the device may also provide attachments for resistance band use to provide another loading mechanism for strength development.

Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus including a pair of first tracks that are arranged in parallel at an interval, a second track that is perpendicular to the pair of first tracks and is movably connected to the pair of first tracks, a hand holder that is movably provided in the second track and on which a hand of the user is held, a holder driving unit that reciprocally moves the hand holder along the second track, and a track driving unit that reciprocally moves the second track along the pair of first tracks.

Gymnastic equipment includes a first element, which is fixed or movable, adapted to interact exclusively with a first portion of the user's body, a second element, which is fixed or movable, adapted to interact exclusively with a second portion of the user's body, the first portion and the second portion being arranged on opposite sides with respect to the sagittal plane of the user's body. The equipment further includes a first vibration generator associated to the first element, a second vibration generator associated to said second element, and a control unit to which the first vibration generator and the second vibration generator are operatively connected. The control unit of the gymnastic equipment includes an independent actuator of the first vibration generator and of the second vibration generator adapted for actuating the first and second vibration generators in respective first and second time periods alternating with each other in sequence and not overlapping.

A wheel exercising device includes a shank, two handgrips, two wheels, and two caps. The shank has a first threaded section and a second threaded section having different screwing directions. Each of the two handgrips is formed with an internal threaded section screwed onto the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the shank. At least one elastic member is connected between the two handgrips. Each of the two wheels is mounted on the shank. Each of the two caps is mounted on the shank and rests on one of the two wheels. When the two wheels are rotated forward and backward, the two handgrips are moved inward and outward synchronously along the first threaded section and the second threaded section of the shank.
