Exercise training device
An exercise training device includes a housing portion extending between a first end and a second end. The housing portion defines an internal bore. A biasing device is disposed within the internal bore. A first gripping portion is received within the internal bore through the first end of the housing portion. The first gripping portion is attached to a first biasing end of the biasing device. The first gripping portion is gripped by a user. A second gripping portion is received within the internal bore through the second end of the housing portion. The second gripping portion is attached to a second biasing end of the biasing device. The second gripping portion is gripped by the user. In response to a pressure applied, the biasing device and the housing portion are movable from an unflexed position to a flexed position.
REHABILITATION DEVICE AND ITS USE FOR EXERCISING THE SHOULDER REGION
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.
Physical therapy device and methods for use thereof
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.
Shoulder End Range of Motion Improving Device
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.
HYPERTHERMIC CONDITIONING CAPSULE
A self-contained, hyperthermic conditioning unit and selectively controllable environment for exercising. The unit comprises a base portion having a bed therein and a removable cover connected to the base portion to enclose a personal compartment within the unit. One or more heating elements provide heat to the personal compartment and one more pieces of physical exercise equipment are provided within the personal compartment.
SHOULDER MOTION EXERCISE DEVICE AND METHOD OF USE
A shoulder motion exercise device and method of use having a retainer, a connector, an extender, and a slider. When the user mimics a golf swing, the device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.
EXERCISE DEVICE FOR SUSPENDED BODY WEIGHT TRAINING
A pulley system of an exercise device for suspended weight training includes a first block with a first pulley, a second pulley, and a first attachment point. A second block is removably coupled to a weight and includes a third pulley and a second attachment point. A grip is configured to be held by a user while exercising and has a third attachment point. A line having a first line end is fixedly coupled to the grip and a second line end fixedly is coupled to a connection element. The connection element is configured to be selectively coupled to each of the first attachment point, the second attachment point, and the third attachment point, permits a user to reduce an effective amount of the weight lifted by the user with movement of the grip to a pre-selected fraction of the weight.
Systems And Methods For Facilitating Rehabilitation And Exercise
In one embodiment, an exercise system includes a user interface device sized and configured to fit within a user's hand, the user interface device including a microcontroller configured to control operation of the device, a first sensor configured to sense movements of the device, a second sensor configured to sense forces applied to the device, and a communication device configured to communicate data concerning the sensed movements and forces to a separate device.
Upper body exercise equipment with lower body pedals and methods of using the same
A physical exercise apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a frame, a seat, a pair of movable arms, and a pair of cycling foot pedals. The seat may be supported by the frame and configured to support a user in an at least partially supine position. The pair of movable arms may be movably coupled to a first portion of the frame and coupled with a common, linearly movable resistance load. The first portion of the frame may be stationary with respect to the seat. The pair of cycling foot pedals may be movably coupled to a second portion of the frame and independently movable from the pair of movable arms so that the user can cycle the pair of cycling foot pedals while separately engaging the pair of movable arms.
