Provided herein is a mechatronic simulator system that provides various types of unexpected perturbations to challenge the proactive and reactive balance control in subjects to thereby improve balance control of the subject. The system includes a motion capture unit and a processing unit capable of analyzing the subject’s response to the perturbations, provide real time feedback, adjust and/or determine training sessions.

The device as disclosed herein is simple and easy to use, and inexpensive to produce. It provides a good calf workout from home for the calf and lower leg. It comprises a foot baseplate having a lower curved surface or frame, a series of straps to attach the user's foot to the baseplate and an attachment point for a resistance band.

An ankle exerciser for exercising a user's ankles and includes a base, two pedals and two rotary units. The pedals and the rotary units are installed to the base. The rotary units are located between the base and the pedals so as to allow the pedals to be pivoted in multiple directions so as to stretch the ankles, and to keep ankles healthy.

A balance board system, comprising, a rotatable roller, a balance board having a lower surface that sits atop the rotatable roller and reciprocally rides on the rotatable roller, the balance board lower surface having a plurality of attachment points, a plurality of board connectors disposed at the plurality of attachment points, a plurality of stop connectors and a plurality of roller stops coupled to at least two of the plurality of stop connectors, the plurality of roller stops are attachable to the balance board at a respective one of the plurality of attachment points.

Exemplary arrangements provide leg training devices suitable for high intensity training of hip flexors while simultaneously training the extensors of hip and knee joints. The exemplary leg training devices include foot fixings which are permanent vertically movable components of the device, each of which are configured to releasably engage a foot of a user in operative engagement therewith while limiting the movement of the foot relative to the foot fixings. Each of the foot fixings is operatively connected to a suitable mechanism that provides a resistance force to vertical movement of the foot fixing by the user's leg. In exemplary arrangements the resistance force may be selectively variable with regard to the magnitude and/or point of application so as to provide the desired training regimen.

An exercise device is described which includes a platform having a first end and a second end opposite the first end; first and second wheels, wherein the first wheel is positioned proximate the first end and the second wheel is positioned proximate the second end and the first and second wheels are configured to roll across a surface as the exercise device is displaced along the surface; a first motor configured to apply a first torque to the first wheel where the magnitude of the first torque is related to the distance of the exercise device from a zero position and the direction of the first torque urges movement of the exercise device toward the zero position. Versions are also described with more wheels and more motors.

A training device for a motorized board comprising an elongated board that can have a top surface and a bottom surface with opposing end sections having a first plane and a second plane wherein the first plane is substantially longer than the second plane. The board can have a thickness that can extend between the top surface and the bottom surface. The top surface can have a first section, a second section and a third section. The first section and the third section can be substantially the same shape and the second section can be substantially larger than the first and third sections, wherein the second section can be the size of a wheel. The bottom surface can have a pivot pad wherein the pivot pad can have a thickness that extends vertically from the bottom surface.
