An electronic punching bag includes an elongate bag formed of resilient material, a microprocessor disposed in an interior of the electronic punching bag or at a periphery of the electronic punching bag, and a display screen that extends around more than half of the periphery of the electronic punching bag. The display screen is configured to receive signals from the microprocessor. The signals cause the display screen to display visual signals.

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 movable platform for physical exercise including: a fixed base; at least one board having an upper surface to accommodate at least one person who must perform a physical exercise or also sporting equipment, the board being connected to the base with the possibility of rotating about at least one axis and/or of moving at least along one direction; an actuator, interposed between the base and the board, configured to impart to the board at least a rotation about the at least one axis, at least a movement at least along the direction, or combinations of these movements; a control unit, operatively connected to the actuator, configured to control activation or deactivation of the actuator to rotate and/or move the board between a reference position and perturbed positions, the control unit generating a sequence of motor interferences that influence the balance of the person performing the exercise.

A method and apparatus for physical exercises and, in particular, for training the movements jump and squat from spot for training. The method and apparatus can have the jump and squat motions follow into a continuous alternating sequence as a response to a passing via a training spot in the same continuous alternating sequence of a lower obstacle, obligating the performance of jump, and of the upper obstacle obligating the performance of squat.

A system for ankle rehabilitation includes a motorised platform arranged to hold an ankle on a subject to be rehabilitated; a first sensor module arranged to detect signals representing movement intention of the ankle on the motorized platform; a second sensor module arranged to detect signals representing actual movement of the ankle on the motorized platform; and a processor arranged to process the signals detected by the first sensor module and the signals detected by the second sensor module, for control of movement of the motorised platform.

An exercise apparatus comprising: a foot support, a user interface that includes a visual display, the foot support being movable by the user on the frame back and forth through any one of a plurality of complete, reproducible and different arc segments of a master arcuate path, the foot support being interconnected to a selection device that enables the user to select any one of the plurality of arc segments, one or more detectors adapted to detect one or more of force, energy or power exerted by the user over time on the foot support or distance or velocity of travel of the foot support or resistance assembly during the course of the user's performance of all or a portion of an exercise cycle, the visual display displaying a visually recognizable format of one or more of the force, energy, power, distance, time or velocity.

The present invention discloses a connecting rod-type lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot, comprising a treadmill, two pneumatic muscle frames, two transmission devices and two lower limb exoskeletons; the pneumatic muscle frame includes a thigh rotating shaft, a calf rotating shaft, a hip joint shaft, pneumatic muscles and a support frame; the transmission device includes a thigh transmission mechanism and a calf transmission mechanism; the thigh transmission mechanism is a parallel four-connecting-rod mechanism composed of a thigh rotating arm, a thigh connecting rod and a thigh skeleton; the calf transmission mechanism includes two four-connecting-rod mechanisms; and the lower limb exoskeleton is connected to the pneumatic muscle frame through the transmission device. Compared with other exoskeleton rehabilitation robots driven by pneumatic muscles, the exoskeleton rehabilitation robot in the present invention, which concentrates all pneumatic muscles in the pneumatic muscle framework, has a simple, compact structure, and is safe and easy to operate.

A robot-assisted hand-eye coordination training system based on a smooth pursuit eye movement and a guidance force field includes a virtual interactive scene module, a smooth pursuit eye movement detection module, a robot-assisted interception module and an impact force rendering module. The virtual interactive scene module can generate a virtual interactive scene having a virtual moving object and a virtual handle agent. The smooth pursuit eye movement detection module collects an eye movement signal of a user when the user performs pursuit eye movements on the virtual moving object to detect a smooth pursuit eye movement event. The robot-assisted interception module estimates a movement direction of the virtual moving object, generates an interception and guidance force field, and therefore generates assisting force to assist the user in interception. The impact force rendering module generates impact force according to an impact force computation model after collision is detected.

An orthotic apparatus comprising: a seat; and a trunk support movable horizontally and vertically relative to said seat, said trunk support configured to confine motion of a user to a predetermined range when the user independently transitions between sitting on said seat and standing, and vice versa, so as to guide the user in the transition.

A device is used for carrying out movements by shifting the center of gravity and/or actuating muscles of a human body. A user lies on the device and shifts the center of gravity by moving his or her hip region in order to incline a movable part of the device including the user's own body in different directions. Furthermore, the user wears video goggles or the like during the process and can move in a virtual environment using the overall system, which includes the video goggles and the movement device and can interact with these. The movements caused by the user can be generated solely using gravity by shifting the center of gravity. Additionally, the movements of the device are influenced by motors or dampers arranged in or on the device.
