Hand therapy kit with presence sensors
A hand therapy kit includes hand therapy modules and a housing having defined receptacles in which the hand therapy modules are removably disposed. A module presence sensor is disposed in each receptacle to detect the presence or absence of the corresponding hand therapy module. A microprocessor disposed in the hand therapy kit sends the module presence sensor data to a remote computer that analyzes the module presence sensor data to determine whether the patient is complying with a prescribed treatment regimen. The remote computer can generate warnings, alerts, and/or notifications when noncompliance is detected.
TONING GARMENT WITH MODULAR RESISTANCE UNIT DOCKING PLATFORMS
Disclosed is a technical training garment configured for use with modular, interchangeable electronics and resistance modules. The garment provides resistance to movement throughout an angular range of motion and tracks biomechanical parameters such as stride length, stride rate, angular velocity and incremental power expended by the wearer. The garment may be low profile, and worn by a wearer as a primary garment or beneath or over conventional clothing. Alternatively, the device may be worn as a supplemental training tool during conventional training protocols.
Resistance harness
A resistance harness that allows 360 of resistance around the body and in any plane of motion (sagittal, transverse, frontal, oblique). The strap design allows rings to slide from anterior to posterior or medial to lateral. The rings enable concentric, eccentric, or isometric resistance. This sliding ability allows for resistance to be constant in one direction or changeable. As the ring slides under tension, the muscular recruitment needed to resist will change as the force angle of the ring slides and changes position around the body.
FITNESS HAND-MUSCLE DEVELOPER
A fitness hand-muscle developer to solve the defects of too strong elasticity, high cost and single purpose in conventional hand-muscle developers, which is suitable for the elderly, the weakling or women to exercise hand muscles in various ways. The fitness hand-muscle developer comprises a main body, elastic, rod-like, defining a lengthwise direction; a band, with two opposite free ends, fixed to the main body in the lengthwise direction of the main body; and a holding space, located between the band and the surface of the main body.
Fidgeting Device
Fidgeting device (1) comprising at least one longitudinal tube (2) with a wall (3) with at least a resilient part (4), wherein the tube (2) is embodied with a proximal open end (6) and a closed distal end (7), and that the wall (3) of the tube (2) is provided with one or more at least in part active user-controlled closable openings (8) or slits (9) so that the fidgeting device (1) also embodies a breath exercise device.

Swim training apparatus for bilateral undulation power development
A swim training apparatus for use as a monofin for bilateral undulation power development. The apparatus includes a flexible, elongated member having a series of securing members, such as through-holes extending from the top surface of the elongated member through to its bottom surface, and fasteners configured and disposed to attach to the securing member, such as straps that can extend through the through-holes, to fasten the apparatus to a user's legs. A weight can be attached using similar attachments and fasteners to the apparatus to increase undulation during use.
Resistance band system and method
A resistance band system is disclosed herein. The resistance band system includes a strap and a resistance band having a first-connection point at one end and a second-connection point at an opposing end. A pair of leg wraps are connected to the first-connection point and the second-connection point. A plurality of connectors can be utilized to connect the pair of leg wraps to the first-connection point and the second-connection point and connect the second-end of the strap to a middle-point along the resistance band. The resistance band system is useful for improving leg cycle training.
Dynamic proprioception
A wearable device such as a garment is disclosed, having at least one resistance element at a motion segment such as a hip or knee. The garment includes at least one sensor, for sensing a parameter. Electronics are provided for processing the sensed parameter, and for providing feedback. Feedback may be in the form of proprioceptive tactile or audible feedback, or in the form of an adjustment of a performance parameter of the wearable device. In one implementation, resistance to movement of the wearer is adjusted up or down in response to changes in power output by the wearer.
