A realistic sloping simulation device for a fitness equipment is disclosed, generally including a fixed base, a host tube, a support frame, and a driving unit. The host tube has a first end coupled to the fixed base. The support frame has a lower end slidably coupled to the fixed base and an upper end pivoted to the host tube between the first end and the second end. The driving unit is disposed between the host tube and the support frame or between the host tube and the fixed base. The fixed base, the host tube, and the support frame jointly form a linkage mechanism. By means of the driving unit driving the lower end of the support frame to move relative to the fixed base or the host tube, the second end of the host tube is caused to swing or rotate so as to simulate different slopes.

A system and method for providing neurological function analysis and treatment to a person using virtual reality systems. The system and methods comprise a data capture system that receives, fuses, and integrates sensor data from various sensors, a virtual reality engine which uses the integrated sensor information to generate an environmental model and a tracking model, and a therapeutic engine which can assess both the cognitive and physical condition the person, determine a training regime based on the assessment, and apply therapies while the person is engaged in a virtual reality environment. The training regimen can comprise brainwave entrainment and/or dual-task stimulation via virtual elements. In some embodiments, a medical professional may engage with the person in the virtual reality environment.

Appropriate housing equipment according to the physical ability of a trainee who has performed rehabilitation in order to restore or maintain the physical ability is easily presented. A housing equipment presentation apparatus includes a storage unit configured to store definition information defining housing equipment information according to a physical ability, an acquisition unit configured to externally acquire physical ability information of a trainee who has performed training in order to restore or maintain his/her physical ability, a conversion unit configured to convert the acquired physical ability information into the housing equipment information based on the definition information, and an output unit configured to output presentation information including the converted housing equipment information.

A system and method for evaluation, detection, conditioning, and treatment of neurological functioning and conditions which uses data obtained while a person is engaged in simultaneously in a range of primary physical tasks combined with defined types of secondary activity, such as listening, reading, speaking, mathematics, logic puzzles, navigation of a virtual environment, recall of past stimuli, etc. The data from the physical and secondary activities are combined to generate a composite functioning score visualization indicating the relative functioning of areas aspects of neurological functioning; including those in which deficiencies may be present, which are early indicators of possible neurological conditions. Through algorithmic recommendations combined with expert and user input, a conditioning regimen targeting neurological aspects of interest paired with periodic testing allows the user to track their progress in these areas over time.

A treadmill includes an interaction assembly, a support assembly and a base assembly. A locking mechanism is provided at a pivot position between the support assembly and the base assembly. The locking mechanism can switch between an active state and a locking state. The treadmill is provided with an operating mechanism, a connecting mechanism and a driving mechanism which are connected sequentially. The operating mechanism is provided on the interaction assembly. The connecting mechanism is provided on the support assembly. The driving mechanism is provided at a pivot position between the support assembly and the base assembly. When the interaction assembly is rotated to switch from a use state to a non-use state, the connecting mechanism is driven by the operating mechanism and then the driving mechanism is driven by the connecting mechanism, so as to cause the locking mechanism to switch from the locking state to the active state.

An apparatus and method of use thereof for exercising on a treadmill, the apparatus includes a frame that mounts to handles of the treadmill. The frame is an arch shape having a proximal bar, a distal bar opposite the proximal bar, and a curved portion extending between adjacent ends of the proximal bar and the distal bar. The proximal bar is coupled to the handles. A protective cushioned seat extends between the proximal bar and the distal bar. To use the apparatus, an individual can unhook a proximal end of the seat from the proximal bar, position the seat behind the buttocks and between the legs, reengage the proximal end of the seat to the proximal bar, and can then walk or run on the treadmill.

An inclined exercise apparatus may include a support frame, pedals and arm supports for a user. The angle of incline of the inclined exercise apparatus may be adjusted to be increased for a decreased level of difficulty and decreased of an increased level of difficulty. The inclined exercise apparatus may include a chest support for supporting a user's chest. The inclined exercise apparatus may include arm supports and hand grips so that a user can adjust their body position while using the inclined exercise apparatus.

The present invention relates to the field of fitness training devices and exercise machines. More specifically, a substantially horizontal exercise machine comprising an exercise platform slidable along one or more rails aligned with the longitudinal axis of the machine structure, the slidable platform spring-biased towards one end of the machine, is tiltable to allow for one end of the machine to be raised or lowered relative to the opposed end of the machine.

An exercise machine with adjustable handles that provide for multiple handle positions. The exercise machine with adjustable handles generally includes a frame with one or more rails, a carriage movably positioned upon the rails, and a pair of adjustable handles positioned near an end of the frame. The adjustable handles each have a handle portion that is movably connected to a corresponding handle stanchion to pivot from a storage position to an extended position.

A foot support assembly for an exercise machine may be configured for sing-hand operation (e.g., cinching or releasing of the foot strap). The foot support assembly may include a footplate coupled to the frame of the exercise machine and configured to support the user's foot during exercise and a strap coupled to the footplate and configured to resist separation of the user's foot from the footplate. The strap is operatively associated with a quick release ratchet mechanism, which is configured to be unlocked simply by pressing a lever of the ratchet to allow the ratchet strip to reverse, releasing the user's foot from the strap. The foot support assembly may be provided on each side of the seat rail of a rowing machine, which may alternatively or additionally include a multi-grip handle including a plurality of grip portions configured to position the user's hand at different orientations to one another.
