A wheel frame (16a) includes a cylindrical hub (16c) into which an axle (11b) is rotatably inserted, a six-axis force sensor (16e) having an insertion hole (16e1) into which the hub (16c) is inserted, and an outer flange (16f) extending radially outward from an input section (16e2) of the six-axis force sensor (16e), wherein a hand rim (17) is attached to the outer flange (16f).

Disclosed is a swimming assistance apparatus, which is worn on a user's both feet to provide the user with buoyancy, such that the user can float on water and swim in a good swimming style while repeatedly moving the waist from side to side like a fish, thereby reinforcing the user's waist muscles. Persons who have knee joint arthralgia or backache or persons who have disability in the lower body can use the swimming assistance apparatus for medical purposes, such as pain relief or treatment.

A bilateral hand rehabilitation device is disclosed. The device includes a pair of left and right handlebar members that are fixedly coupled or connected together. The device further includes a pair of moveable left and right finger grip members, one for each of the handlebar members. Each finger grip member being elongate and having a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of its respective handlebar member, and each finger grip member being moveably mounted with respect to its respective handlebar member for movement toward and away from the handlebar member to facilitate a user finger grasp and release movement when in use. The device further includes an asymmetric connection mechanism that operatively couples the pair of finger grip members to each other for simultaneous asymmetric movement of the finger grip members such that the movement of one finger grip member toward or away from its respective handlebar member causes the other finger grip member to move in the opposite direction away or toward its respective handlebar member.

A game table and to a game equipment for playing a ball game with legs. The game table includes a table top structure with a see-through table top surface. The table top structure has a first and second table top ends and a first and second table top sides extending between the first and second table top ends. The game table further includes a first table side wall and a second table side wall extending downwards from the table top structure. The first and second table side walls being arranged to form a channel-like game space together with the table top structure, the channel-like game space having a first opening and a second opening at opposite ends of the channel-like game space.

A rotational assistive device includes a first end portion configured for operable connection with a user, and a second end portion configured for operable connection with an implement utilized via a swinging motion. A main body portion extends between the first end portion and the second end portion. The main body portion includes a plurality of telescoping leg portions, such that when the implement and rotational assistive device are swung, the main body portion moves between a closed position having a closed length and an extended position having an extended length greater than the closed length.

A rehabilitative and/or exercise machine that has a frame with attachments to multiple independent bidirectional resistance devices (pneumatic, hydraulic, spring actuated, pulley system, cam, or any other resistance devices) used by the arms and/or legs to provide resistance against movement of the user's appendages in two substantially opposed directions. The resistance devices may have a mechanism such as one or more valves, brakes, springs, or the like that control bi-directional resistance. The action of the arms and/or legs in bi-directional resistance offers near full body exercise of the agonist/antagonist muscles using flexion and extension action of the larger muscle groups in a gait pattern, simultaneously. Hand engaging members attach to the arm resistance devices and foot engaging members attach to the leg resistance devices. The unit may include an attached inclined backboard, mat, bench, or cushion to fully or partially support the user, such as for the user to sit or lay on. The unit may have separate adjustment mechanisms for adjusting the height and/or length of the various portions of the unit to adjust the range of motion of the appendages. The unit may have devices to monitor pulse, oxygen flow and other vital signs.

The invention relates to a locomotion aid (1) for people with limited mobility, comprising at least one frame (1), frame legs (2) which are connected to the frame (V) at a first end (2) and the second ends (2) of which are equipped with casters (3), a hip lock or a lumbar lock (8) which is connected to the frame (1) via a return mechanism (7) and via a mounting (6), and a seat (9) with an integrated brake triggering mechanism, wherein the seat (9) interacts with the hip lock (8), the return mechanism (7), which is in the form of a spring for example, and the mounting (6) when the seat is actuated by the person such that the brake triggering mechanism (5) can be triggered.

A balance training apparatus that allows a training person having a disease in his/her balance function to perform appropriate rehabilitation training safely in order to recover the balance function is provided. The balance training apparatus includes a moving carriage configured to be able to move on a moving surface by driving a driving unit, a detection unit configured to detect a load received from training person's feet standing on the moving carriage, a calculation unit configured to calculate a load's center of gravity of the training person's feet on a boarding surface from the load detected by the detection unit, and a control unit configured to convert a displacement amount of the load's center of gravity into a control amount using a setting selected from a plurality of settings, and drive the driving unit based on the control amount to control movement of the moving carriage.

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.
