Buoyancy-based cervical traction system

A buoyancy-based cervical traction system has a floatation and a head rest supported by the flotation system. The head rest is adapted to support a person's head above the neck and apply traction to the neck when the person is in a body of liquid. The system has a position adjustment system adapted to allow selective adjustment of the position at which the person's head rest will be relative to an upper surface of the liquid when the person and the cervical traction system are in the liquid, the person's head is supported by the head rest, and the cervical traction system and person are floating in the liquid at equilibrium.

ERGONOMIC TRAINING PADDLE WITH REDUCED FINGER SLIPPAGE
20200276477 · 2020-09-03 ·

A swim training apparatus for use on a hand of a swimmer in water during a swimming motion, said training aid apparatus comprising: a plate member having a first surface and an opposed second surface and a leading edge and a trailing edge. The first surface has four straight grooves having a bottom and elevated sides along passing from a base of the first surface adjacent the wrist towards a top of the first surface where fingertips extend, wherein height of the elevated sides is at least 1 mm higher than a lowest point of the bottom of the groove.
