The present invention extends to wrist straps for gripping, namely, in the form of a grip reinforcement apparatus. A wrist portion includes a cushion with a flap that improves comfort and protection for a user. A grip portion includes a slip resistant exterior surface that improves ease of use and the frictional connection with an object being gripped. A main strap that forms a loop, a portion of the wrist portion, and a portion of the grip portion from a singular unitary piece of webbing balances cost-effectiveness and durability, while a bistable spring within a grip portion also improves ease of use.

Methods of enabling locomotor control, postural control, voluntary control of body movements (e.g., in non-weight bearing conditions), and/or autonomic functions in a human subject having a spinal cord injury, a brain injury, or a neurological neuromotor disease are described.

A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operatively coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism. The trolley can include a drive system, a control system, and a patient support system. The drive system is movably coupled to a support rail. At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.

An electromechanical manipulandum device, comprising: a drive system comprising a plurality of electrical motors; an arm driveable by the drive system and having three degrees-of-freedom of motion; a capstan transmission for transmitting actuating force from the drive system to the arm; an end-effector coupled to the arm, the end-effector configured to engage a user and having at least three degrees-of-freedom of rotational motion; and a control system for controlling the drive system such as to provide a force to the end-effector in a selected direction.

A computer-implemented system may include a treatment device configured to be manipulated by a user while the user is performing a treatment plan, a patient interface comprising an output device configured to present telemedicine information associated with a telemedicine session, and a first computing device configured to: receive treatment data pertaining to the user while the user uses the treatment device to perform the treatment plan; identify at least one aspect of the at least one measurement pertaining to the user associated with a first treatment device mode of the treatment device; determine whether the at least one aspect of the measurement correlates with a secondary condition of the user; and, in response to a determination that the at least one aspect of the at least one measurement is correlated with the at least one secondary condition of the user, generate secondary condition information indicating at least the secondary condition.

A limbs cooperation exerciser and a control method for the same are provided. The limbs cooperation exerciser includes a frame, an upper limb exercise mechanism, a first driving module, a lower limb exercise mechanism, a second driving module, a first rotating speed sensor, a second rotating speed sensor, and a control module. The control module controls at least one of the first driving module and the second driving module according to the first rotating speed and the second rotating speed, making a differential value between the detected first rotating speed and the second rotating speed be smaller than or equal to a predetermined differential value. That is, the limbs cooperation exerciser controls the rotation of the first operating member or the second operating member to lower the difference between the rotating speeds of the first operating member and the second operating member.

A device for assisting a user in performing bodyweight exercises as well as being configured for performance of weight training cable exercises includes an upstanding frame having a first support bar and a second support bar that is parallel to but below the first support bar. The device also includes a pulley carrier assembly that is detachably coupled to both the first support bar and the second support bar and includes an elongated carrier that carries a first pulley and a spaced second pulley. A cable passes along the first pulley and the second pulley, the cable having a first end and an opposing second end and a counter-weight is coupled to a first end of the cable. Another device is provided for use along a single support bar.

A collapsible and portable dip apparatus may be structurally configured for use with one or more resistance bands for adjusting the intensity of exercises. Specifically, a dip apparatus according to the present teachings may include side structures that are pivotable towards a central support structure to reduce a footprint of the dip apparatus, e.g., for storage. Further, the side structures may include support bars that are structurally configured for engagement with a resistance band, where the support bars are located below gripping bars of the dip apparatus. To this end, the present teachings include an exercise system featuring the aforementioned dip apparatus and resistance bands, where a user can engage a resistance band with each of the side structures of the dip apparatus such that a user can place his/her knees on the resistance band for support when performing a dip exercise.

An apparatus for transporting a patient. The apparatus includes a supporting portion to grasp part of the body of a patient. A footboard unit is provided upon which the patient is able to stand when supported by the supporting portion, the footboard unit movable along a floor by movable means. A frame is connected between the footboard unit and the supporting portion. The apparatus is configured so that the footboard unit is able to move in proximity to a bed upon which the patient is lying, whereat the supporting portion can grasp the part of the body of the patient, wherein the frame and the supporting portion are able to support the patient in transitioning from a lying position on the bed to a standing position adjacent the bed as the footboard unit is moved relative to the bed.

Provided herein are embodiments of a barbell spotting apparatus having all the benefits of a free-floating, unconstrained barbell in both the horizontal and vertical axes with the safety of a dedicated spotting mechanism, while addressing safety, noise, and space concerns raised by typical barbell apparatus. The embodiments herein permit a loaded barbell to be positioned in line with the axis of motion of the lift to be performed at both the beginning and end of the lift.
