A robotic training device, system and method duplicates and guides a golfer through a perfect golf swing in several modes. The exoskeleton-like robotis device, and system utilizes a training method that employs a combination of either pneumatic, electrics or Bowden cables with small motors and actuators, which embraces the golfer so he/she can experience the “feel” and body movements that make a perfect golf swing and learn to perform the motion without the training device. Similarly, the robot training device, system may assist patients in rehabilitation from injuries, stroke, chronic illness or other conditions involving muscular atrophy.

A swing training assembly includes a shuttle, a shuttle travel track, a tensioner, a shuttle displacement line and a shuttle pulley. The shuttle resides in the shuttle travel track and the shuttle pulley and shuttle displacement line are adapted to linearly displace the shuttle to different shuttle positions within the shuttle travel track in response to displacement forces applied to the shuttle pulley by a user pulling on the shuttle displacement line. The tensioner provides an opposing counter-force to control the rate of shuttle displacement. The swing training assembly may also include body positioning limits to maintain proper body alignment while the user pulls on the shuttle displacement line.

A lower limb training rehabilitation apparatus, comprising a weight reducing device, a pelvis supporting device, an exoskeleton device, a control system for controlling mechanical movements of the rehabilitation apparatus, and a treadmill used for walking of a patient. The rehabilitation apparatus hoists the upper body of the patient by means of the weight reducing device, then fixes the crotch of the patient to the pelvis supporting device, and fixes two legs of the patient to two mechanical legs of the exoskeleton device. A power source drives the pelvis supporting device to move up and down, so that the patient can move in the vertical direction; in addition, a sliding base of the pelvis supporting device can assist the patient in moving left and right, swinging left and right, and twisting. The mechanical legs and the treadmill together implement arbitrary movements in six degrees of freedom of the patient.

A treadmill includes a platform where the platform includes a first side panel and a second side panel spaced apart at a distance from the first side panel, and a gap defined between the first side panel and the second side panel. The treadmill also includes a running deck contained within the platform and exposed within the gap, a first pulley connected to the running deck, a second pulley connected to the running deck opposite the first pulley, a tread belt surrounding the first pulley and the second pulley, a first post removably connected to the platform, a second post removably connected to the platform, and a first rail transversely connected to the first post and the second post.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a two-person exercise wheel. The two-person exercise wheel may include an exercise ring, a non-equilateral parallelogram linkage mechanism, a tension spring, and a suspension seat. When the ring is rotated, the non-equilateral parallelogram linkage mechanism may be rotated by a rocker arm. In some embodiments, the gravitational forces and the tension spring connected between the two seats act on the ring via the non-equilateral parallelogram linkage mechanism and the rocker arm. In some embodiments, the supporting force of the ring may pass through a circular center. Further, the gravitational forces may act on the non-equilateral parallelogram linkage mechanism and the persons on the seats may pedal to enable the ring to gain a rotation torque. Further, the tension spring may adjust the torque between the seats and the circular center when the two seats are in positions different from each other.
