A walking training system, a harness, and an operation method capable of performing training effectively are provided. A walking training system according to an embodiment includes a harness attached to a trainee's trunk and a pulling unit configured to apply a pulling force to the harness, the harness includes a frame fixed to the trainee's trunk, an attaching member to which the pulling unit is attached, and a guide mechanism configured to enable a position of the frame relative to the attaching member to be variable in an up/down direction.

The present invention relates to a snowboarding or snow skiing training and safety device for children. A child wearing the training and safety device is controlled by a trainer or a parent through a connected leash. The device includes an adjustable waist strap extending horizontally around the waist of a child, an adjustable back leg strap extending horizontally around a thigh of the back leg of the child, and a releasable and adjustable longitudinally positioned connecting strap attached to the waist strap and the back leg strap. A leash is attached to a clip fastener disposed on the connecting strap and is held by the trainer to selectively control movement, speed, and/or spacing between the child on a snowboard and the trainer trailing behind.

A lung exercise apparatus and method with an enclosure, with an inside, an outside and an open top, configured to hold a liquid of a first density. An additive to the liquid that increases the first density such that a person in the liquid is more buoyant. Weight removably connectable with the person such that a person in the enclosure is held vertical in the enclosure and partially immersed in the liquid below a surface of the liquid and with some of a person's body above the surface of the liquid. And a harness that is removably connectable with the person to hold some of the person's body above the surface of the liquid where lungs in a person's body are below the surface of the liquid.

A locomotion system for use with a virtual environment technology includes a platform configured to support a user, a harness support assembly coupled to the platform and extending upwardly from the platform, and a safety harness configured to be worn by the user. The harness support assembly includes a support halo positioned above the platform and extending about a vertical central axis. The safety harness includes an interface structure moveably coupled to the support halo.

An exercise support system configured to support at least a portion of a user's weight is disclosed. The exercise support system may include a base assembly including a plurality of frame members defining an interior region of the system. The system may also include a lift assembly comprising a drive assembly and an arm assembly. A body support (e.g., a seat) may be configured with the arm assembly. In general, the base assembly provides support to the lift assembly, and the lift assembly provides the mechanism(s) and forces to raise and lower the arm assembly (and the body support) thereby supporting at least a portion of the user's weight.

An apparatus and method for physical therapy includes a base structure, a roller table positioned on the base structure including a plurality of free motion rollers, at least one motor and/or and at least one air compressor connected to the base structure, a plurality of powered rollers or a contact plate located within the base structure being in contact with the plurality of free motion rollers, at least one pneumatic block with a pneumatic piston connected to the at least one air compressor and being configured to raise and lower the power rollers and/or the contact plate, a load cell in communication with the apparatus being configured to measure and record a patient's response to the transition of the roller table and/or the contact plate, and a programmable logic controller.

A system includes a first support structure which is stationary, a second support structure which is supported by the first support structure for rotation about a first axis of rotation, a first actuation unit having a first motor device, a first output member and a first motion transmission system. The system also includes a second actuation unit having a second motor device, a second output member and a second motion transmission system. The first output member is drivingly connected with the second support structure for rotation about the first axis of rotation. The first motor device is arranged to control, via the first motion transmission system, the rotation of the first output member, along with the second support structure, about the first axis of rotation. The second output member is supported by the second support structure for rotation about a second axis of rotation.

A treadmill running position stabilizing method includes a treadmill with a running platform and a frame extending upwardly from a front end of the running platform. A strap is extended around a person on the treadmill and is attached to the frame such that the strap loosely engages the person. In this manner the person is loosely held in place on the treadmill.

A body weight support system includes a trolley, a powered conductor operatively coupled to a power supply, and a patient attachment mechanism. The trolley can include a drive system, a control system, and a patient support system. The drive system is movably coupled to a support rail. At least a portion of the control system is physically and electrically coupled to the powered conductor. The patient support mechanism is at least temporarily coupled to the patient attachment mechanism. The control system can control at least a portion of the patient support mechanism based at least in part on a force applied to the patient attachment mechanism.
