System and method for knee rehabilitation
11833098 · 2023-12-05 ·

The invention may be embodied in a physical therapy or health maintenance stretching system including a frame configured for engaging a treated leg of a user at or near the popliteal space of the treated leg to allow a knee of the treated leg to bend inwards in response to gravitational force affecting a lower portion of the treated leg. The frame may be further configured to allow a knee of the treated leg to bend inwards in response to a user force directly or indirectly applied to the lower portion of the treated leg.

System and method for using an exercise machine to improve completion of an exercise

A system and method for improving completion of an exercise is disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method of a control system to improve compliance with an exercise plan for an exercise machine includes receiving one or more load measurements from one or more load cells of the exercise machine. The method also includes comparing the one or more load measurements to one or more target thresholds, and determining whether the one or more load measurements exceed the one or more target thresholds. Responsive to determining that the one or more load measurements exceed the one or more target thresholds, the method also includes causing a user interface to present an indication that the one or more target thresholds have been exceeded and an exercise is complete, wherein the exercise is included in the exercise plan.
