PEGBOARD TYPE REHABILITATION TRAINING SYSTEM
Disclosed is a rehabilitation training apparatus that is used when a stroke patient or the like performs rehabilitation training. A rehabilitation training system includes a main device in which a plurality of unit modules are disposed on a plane at a specific interval; a board plate inserted into or coupled to the main device and including a plurality of holes; and a plurality of pegs that are inserted into the holes of the board plate, wherein each of the unit modules includes a sensor module configured to detect insertion of a peg into the hole, and a light source module configured to output light of a specific color, and if the board plate is inserted into the main device, the light source module provides output light to the outside through the hole of the board plate.
WHEELCHAIR EXERCISE APPARATUS HAVING INDEPENDENT DRIVE ROLLERS
An exercise apparatus for a wheelchair,
Universal Footrest for One-Legged Operation of a Stationary Bicycle
Various embodiments for an apparatus and method for use of a footrest device with a stationary bicycle are provided. A footrest device includes a forward foundation, a rear foundation, one or more posts that extends in a horizontal direction, wherein at least one end of the one or more posts is coupled to either the forward foundation or the rear foundation. The footrest device includes a platform configured to function as a footrest, and one or more support shafts that extend in a vertical direction upwardly from the one or more posts. A method for using the footrest device includes placing one foot on a platform of the footrest device, placing a second foot on a pedal on the opposite side of the stationary bicycle, and pedaling the pedal of the stationary bicycle with the second foot while the first foot is located on the platform of the footrest device.
Monocolumn unweighting systems
An unweighting system includes a frame having a base and a vertical bar extending therefrom. The base is configured to connect to or at least partially encircle an exercise device. A height adjustable cantilevered arm assembly is coupled to the vertical bar at a fulcrum, and the cantilevered arm assembly is configured to receive and couple to the user. A resilient member is coupled to the cantilevered arm assembly and configured to unload a portion of the user's weight while the user is coupled to the cantilevered arm assembly and exercises on the exercise device.
Wheelchair-accessible exercise system
Various systems, processes, and techniques may be used to achieve a wheelchair-accessible exercise system. In particular implementations, a wheelchair-accessible exercise system may allow a user to perform strength and cardiovascular exercises without having to reposition his/her wheelchair. For example, a user may perform seven different exercises without moving his/her chair, or possibly even the trunk of their body. Thus, the exercise system may provide a comprehensive workout without requiring repositioning of the wheelchair, which can be quite cumbersome to those that are mobility challenged. Moreover, the exercise system may be adjustable and safe.
Adjustable exercise apparatus
Disclosed herein are various embodiments of an exercise apparatus. In certain embodiments, an exercise apparatus comprises a frame and a seat assembly, the seat assembly comprising a seat, the seat configured to move between a first position and a second position, wherein the first position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting on the seat and wherein the second position accommodates use of the exercise apparatus by a user sitting in a wheelchair. The seat assembly may be pivotably coupled to the frame. The seat assembly may comprise a stop configured to inhibit movement of the seat, and may further comprise a biasing element that is biased to disengage the stop.
FULL BODY EXERCISE APPARATUS
A portable exercise apparatus utilized for exercising, stretching, and training multiple muscle groups of the body of a user. The apparatus is adapted to be worn about the waist or carried as a bandolier about the user's body. The apparatus has at least one releasably closable pocket and fixation rings for securing and carrying accessories, such as attachable handles, suspension lines, and elastic bands. The apparatus and methods of use provide the user with a plurality of configurations for assisted exercise regimens and the flexibility to exercise anywhere.
PATIENT AID DEVICES, PARTICULARLY FOR MOBILE UPPER EXTREMITY SUPPORT IN RAILED DEVICES SUCH AS PARALLEL BARS AND TREADMILLS
Patient aid devices and an associated method of supporting an upper extremity are described and include a mobile upper extremity support for the patient. A support assembly supports a first side of an upper body of the user for movement along a first rail. The support assembly also allows motion of a second side of an upper body relative to the first side.
Exercise device
An exercise device for use by persons with limited strength or mobility includes a a frame member situated in an interior area of a body member. First and second upper appendages are coupled to and extend away from upper left right regions of the body member. First and second lower appendages are coupled to and extend away from lower left right regions of the body member. A top appendage may extend away from a top region of the body member. A tension member, such as a tension spring, is situated inside each appendage and is configured to be selectively bent, extended, or otherwise manipulated and is resilient to return to an unbent and retracted configuration. Movement of respective tension members enables a person to exercise, experience the touch sensation, and have feelings of pleasure and enjoyment. A magnet attached to the frame member attracts other magnetic or metal items.
Mobility assistance device
A mobility assistance apparatus includes first and second frames positioned on left and right sides of a user; a hinge arm mechanism coupled to the first and second frames; and a harness or a walking seat coupled to the frames to transfer at least a portion of the user's body weight from the legs and to transfer weight through the user's hip or pelvis to the first and second frame enabling the user to stand or walk for an extended period without requiring the user's arms to hold the frame.
