Foot and leg stretching device
A stretching device includes a heel platform sized and shaped to support a heel of a foot of a person thereon. The stretching device also includes a ball platform sized and shaped to support a ball of a foot of a person thereon. The ball platform is angularly offset relative to the heel platform. The stretching device includes one or more connection members connecting the heel platform to the ball platform. The stretching device includes an extension slot connected to the ball platform. The stretching device includes a stretching device extension. The stretching device extension includes an extension platform arranged coplanar with the ball platform. The stretching device extension includes an extension insert arranged within and selectively removable from the extension slot.
Mechanism to provide intuitive motion for bicycle trainers
Provided herein is a dynamic device that can provide lateral rocking with fore-aft action to a stationary bicycle trainer. Also provided herein is a dynamic device, which can include a four-bar linkage mechanism that can provide a stationary trainer or stationary bicycle with an intuitive and natural-feel lateral rocking action and fore-aft action to simulate motions of a bicycle being ridden in a non-stationary environment.
Movably supported exercise device
An item of exercise equipment with a movable support that is movable in a fore-aft direction and simultaneously movable laterally, e.g. about a tilt axis. The exercise equipment may be a cycle mounted to a base. A roller and track arrangement may be provided between the cycle and base, to provide movement of the cycle in the axial direction and in a tilt direction relative to the base. The roller and track arrangement may be one or more curved roller and track engagement surfaces that extend in the axial direction and provide a gravity bias of the platform toward an axial neutral position. The cycle and base include a tilt biasing arrangement for biasing the cycle toward a tilt neutral position relative to the base.
Sole Flo balance boards
Sole Flo Balance Boards relates to balance boards and solves the problem of not being able to move around when using a balance board. These balance boards provide one with the ability to practice balancing while moving. Sole Flo Balance boards uses hook and loop cinch straps that are attached to the board so that a person can fasten the boards to their feet and therefore move into different position while trying to maintain and develop their balance.

Aquatic Exercise Apparatus and Method of Aquatic Exercising for Improving Mobility
Proposed are an aquatic exercise apparatus and a method for exercising aimed at improving mobility of a user by exercising in water. The apparatus consists of base support and a balance board, which is connected to the base support via a resilient body that allows tilting of the balance board in any direction and a mechanism that provides free rotation of the balance board. Exercising in water allow people with mobility deficits to perform exercises without a fear of falling, decreasing pain, and improving cardiovascular return.

Portable devices for exercising muscles in the ankle, foot, and/or leg, and related methods
A method of exercising includes positioning a foot of a user onto a pedal of an exercise device. The pedal is pivotably connected to a pair of supports forming a triangular base and has a neutral position relative to a pivot axis of the device. The method includes applying a first force to the pedal to rotate the pedal about the pivot axis in a first direction, toward a first support. The method includes resisting movement of the pedal toward the first support with a resistance mechanism of the device. The method includes applying a second force to the pedal to rotate the pedal about the pivot axis in a second direction, opposite the first direction, toward a second support and away from the first support. The method includes resisting movement of the pedal toward the second support with the resistance mechanism of the device.
