The object of the invention is an apparatus suited for individuals in training dynamic balance and turning manoeuvres while walking, said apparatus allowing said operation while an individual is standing, walking on a flat surface or walking on a treadmill that can rotate around its vertical axis. To serve this purpose, the apparatus of the invention is provided with a base platform (1), in which two universal joints (2, 2) are arranged that are connected with a pelvis element (5) with two vertical rods (3,3′) or vertically adjustable rods (30,30′) via conventional spherical joints (4,4′), and the universal joints (2,2′) have two degrees of freedom that can further be provided by drives (6,7,8).

An exercise apparatus that includes a handle frame and a base frame.

A training system includes a riding plate, a load sensor, a first center of gravity calculation unit, an image-capturing unit, a second center of gravity estimation unit, and a determination unit. The load sensor detects a load that the riding plate receives from a trainee. The first center of gravity calculation unit calculates a first center of gravity, which is a center of gravity of a load, based on the load detected by the load sensor. The image-capturing unit acquires image data of an image including a posture of the trainee. The second center of gravity estimation unit estimates a second center of gravity, which is a centroid position of the trainee, based on the image data. The determination unit determines that an alert to the trainee should be output based on a difference between the first center of gravity and the second center of gravity.

A kinesthetic exercise support apparatus is provided assistive of extension and flexion during calisthenics. The kinesthetic exercise support apparatus includes a hoop member, a hub member, a handle bar member, and a pair of chock members. The hoop member is disposed girding the hub member and includes a padded surface thereon. The hoop member has a width greater than a width of the hub member whereby the hoop member is caused to laterally overhang the hub member on either side. A handlebar member is insertable transversely through the hub member at each of a central aperture and at least one radial aperture. A pedal assembly is attachable to the handlebar member. A pair of chock members is further provided and devised to stabilize and immobilize the hoop member therebetween.

A portable exercise device that allows a person to do Pilates type exercises without using traditional, cumbersome equipment. The device uses a pair of wheel assemblies each attached to each end of a central shaft. The shaft height can be adjusted from the center of each wheel to a lower point closer to the ground. Adjustable cam lockable hand/foot plates are attached to the shaft allowing the user to attach his or her feet to the shaft. Each hand/foot plate assembly includes a rotational plate that allows the hand/foot plate to be positioned at various angles in relation to the shaft. Resistance bands are attached on one side to the shaft and on the opposite side to a resistance source. The resistance source can be the user's own hands or feet, or a retaining strap attached to the lower portion of a door or wall.

A portable human balance training device for improving the human proprioceptive system, athletic performance, athletic speed, athletic agility, athletic vertical leap, athletic eye/hand coordination, spatial awareness, left/right brain organization and increasing the muscular development of a user. The balancing device has an elongated suspended support structure spanning the length of the device. The balancing device also has an end support structure at each end for suspending and stabilizing the support structure. A flexible line is mounted to the end supports and spans the length of the support structure. The user places all or part of their body weight on the suspended support band and attempts to balance.

A balance and/or gait perturbation system is disclosed herein. The balance and/or gait perturbation system includes a balance and/or gait perturbation device and a data processing device. The balance and/or gait perturbation device includes one or more displaceable components configured to be displaced at a plurality of different positions, and having one or more surfaces for receiving one or more respective limbs of the person; and one or more first actuators coupled to the one or more displaceable components to adjust the displacement position of the one or more displaceable components. The data processing device is configured to generate a stochastic signal for introducing a perturbation to the one or more displaceable components, and to control the displacement position of the one or more displaceable components using the stochastic signal such that the one or more displaceable components perturb a balance and/or gait of the person.

A balance training system includes a moving carriage that moves on a moving surface, and a detection unit that detects a load received from training person's feet, and drives a driving unit based on the load's center of gravity of the feet to control movement of the moving carriage. A boarding plate is divided into a front plate on which a toe side of the feet is placed and a rear plate on which a heel side of the feet is placed. The detection unit includes right and left front load sensors, respectively provided with tilts to right and left foot sides, on a rear surface side opposite to the boarding surface of the front plate, and right and left rear load sensors, respectively provided with tilts to the right and left foot sides, on a rear surface side opposite to the boarding surface of the rear plate.

A training device for the human or animal body includes a balance body with a movable centre of mass and a holder with which the balance body can be carried. The holder includes a harness with connectors for connecting to a torso of the body and with a cavity in which the balance body is at least partially received and fixed. The harness particularly includes a first part with connector for attaching to a back of the user and a second part connected releasably to the first part. The first part and the second part adjoin each other so as to form a cavity which is open on both sides and in which the balance part is at least partially received in substantially fitting manner.

A balance trainer having a dome and a base formed integrally is provided. Also, a mold assembly for manufacturing the balance trainer that has a dome mold, a girdle, and a cover is provided. The girdle is sleeved on the dome mold and the cover is fixed on the girdle and thereby a cavity is formed in the mold assembly. Furthermore, a manufacturing process of the balance trainer is also provided. The process has the following steps: preparing ingredients of the dome and the base; feeding the ingredients of the dome into the dome mold; fixing a membrane on the dome mold via the girdle; feeding the ingredients of the base; sealing the ingredients via the cover; and then rotational molding. With the process and the mold, the rotational molding step can mold two materials at the same time, so the product can have two parts with different hardness.
