A device for enhancing grip strength and forearm health of a user is disclosed herein. The device comprises a body in the form of a strap, a cuff disposed within a portion of the body, a tensioner comprising a rounded contact point and a threaded bolt. The device of the present invention allows a user to stretch and expand the fascia, allowing for blood to be increased in these muscles with less restriction.

A compliant bimanual rehabilitation system. The device allows for the user or operator's hands to be coupled with a variety of coupling stiffnesses and in a variety of symmetry modes, leading to enhanced rehabilitation of the impaired arm. Structurally, the device includes a carrier assembly slidably coupled to a base along a y-axis, an upper assembly rotatably coupled to the carrier assembly along a z-axis, handle slides slidably coupled to the upper assembly along an x-axis, compliant handle assemblies coupled to the handle slides, and handles coupled to the compliant handle assemblies. Encoders and load cells can also be positioned accordingly to monitor the position of the components and force applied to the device. Spring stacks can be coupled to the compliant handle assemblies to adjust coupling stiffnesses. The handles are indirectly linked to each other to facilitate rehabilitation of the paretic arm using the sound arm.

Apparatus and associated methods relate to a walking therapy station having multiple right linkages and multiple left linkages, where at least one of the right or left linkages is operably coupled to an actuator to transition the station from a standing mode to a walking mode. In an illustrative example, the station may have five right linkages and five left linkages, with a set of knee pads and foot pads. The station may include an actuator operably coupled to transition the station between walking and standing modes, for example. Various embodiments of the station may enable a user who is disabled or paralyzed to transition from sitting position, to a standing position, and then to a walking position, and provide the user with a very accurate gait and walking motion without putting excessive shear and pressure at the contact points between the station and the user.

The present invention relates to an invalid stair-climbing assist device. The device allows a user with one injured leg, foot, ankle, etc. to easily walk-up stairs. The device is comprised of a body that a user can rest their knee/lower leg upon, and a handle attached to the body that can be used for stability. During use, a user can lift the device from stair to stair while their injured leg rests on the device.

A portable foam roller and sitting pad system including a bottle having a generally cylindrical body, and a flexible foam pad configured to be secured around the bottle creating a therapeutic foam rolling device. The flexible foam pad further provides a sitting pad for a user when unsecured from the bottle.

An upper limb rehabilitation support device includes a first handle that is connected with a first rotating shaft, gripped by a trainee's right hand and rotated, a second handle that is connected with a second rotating shaft, gripped by a trainee's left hand and rotated, a connecting part structured so as to connect the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft with each other and interlock rotations of the first handle and the second handle, and a switching part structured so as to switch directions of the rotations of the first handle and the second handle, which are interlocked by the connecting part, with respect to the other handles when one of the first handle and the second handle rotates.

Disclosed is a postoperative functional exerciser for frozen shoulder. The exerciser includes a hand push rod (1) and a restrictive band (2) for restricting the elbow. The hand push rod (1) comprises a wristband (11) and a push rod (12). One end of the push rod (12) is connected with the wristband (11). When the hand push rod (1) and the restrictive band (2) are in operation, a part of the restrictive band (2) winds around the elbow joint of an affected arm, the other part winds around a waist buckle (3) at a waist portion of the restrictive band (2) on a side opposite to the affected arm, and the wristband (11) is sleeved on the wrist of the affected arm. The upper arm is tied to the body by means of the restrictive band (2).

A device and method for alleviating extremity pain and improving range of motion using a mobile mirror with functional activity attachments. Secured symmetrical functional objects for manipulation are positioned either along side, in front, or on the mirror itself. The individual looks at the reflection of the non-affected extremity manipulating the functional attachment while both extremities perform the activity. The occupational therapy device is simple to use and can relocate to either tabletop or floor. The large mirror accommodates longer arms and legs for improved visual field and can be rotated for either vertical or horizontal orientation.

An independent stretching device comprises a back brace configured to pass across and brace against a user's back. A first connector is secured to a first end of the lower back brace, and is threaded through a first pulley. A second connector is secured to a second end of the lower back brace on an opposite side of the user to the first end of the back brace, the second connector being threaded through a second pulley. A foot stirrup is provided for receiving a foot of the user, and has a first end connected to the first pulley and a second end connected to the second pulley. Tension applied to respective distal ends of the first and second connectors distal from the back brace creates tension which urges the foot stirrup and the back brace toward each other.

A portable mirror therapy device comprises a stiff divider panel attached to a base unit which supports the divider panel in an upright position to define two adjacent limb receiving spaces at opposite sides of the divider panel. A mirror is mounted on one face of the divider panel. A clamp mounted at a lower end of the divider panel cooperates with an underside of the base unit for securing the base unit on a support such as a table or worktop. An exercise apparatus is mounted on the device and includes a limb engaging member, which in this case comprises a handle at a mirror side of the divider panel. The exercise apparatus is a resistance load training system and comprises a load cord extending from the handle to an associated resistance element mounted within a housing on an opposite side of the divider panel to the mirror.
