An electric treadmill includes a motor and a motor driving circuit. The motor driving circuit is operable to control electric current flow from a positive electrode through the motor to a negative electrode to drive the motor. The motor driving circuit has a switch path connected between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The switch path has a resistance element and a switch element connected in series. When the motor driving circuit receives power, the switch element will be switched to a disconnected state, so that the resistance element is inactive. When the motor driving circuit does not receive power, the switch element will be switched to a connected state, so that the resistance element becomes a load between the positive electrode and the negative electrode for consuming power generated by the motor when the endless belt is driven to rotate by an external force.

A hex flex apparatus for improving resistance training is presented. The hex flex apparatus is useful for providing more than the standard two-dimension experience, in that a standard apparatus requires large jumps in band size and resistance to move up to the next level. The hex flex apparatus further adds a third dimension by allowing for smaller, more gradual increments to resistance, which leads to more and steadier strength progress before reaching a plateau or sticking point. A platform with two handles is described as is the band which is used to provide tension for resistance training. Further adjustable rods are shown which can be placed into various holes to control the tension and the rods have a ring magnet which provides for the rods being secured in the holes. The bands are further around the rods to access the value of the rods.

System for mechanically assisting rehabilitation of a patient. The system includes: a manipulator having at least five degrees of freedom and defining a free end; a limb support for supporting a limb of the patient, and secured relative to the free end of the manipulator; a force sensor operatively connected to the limb support to allow measuring input forces applied by the patient; and a processor communicatively connected to the force sensor, the manipulator, and a memory store which defines a scale factor. The processor is configured to control operation of the manipulator to move the limb support, and further configured so that responsive to receiving an input force measurement from the force sensor, the processor determines an applied force as a function of the input force and the scale factor.

Disclosed is a training system. The training system may include a base, a plurality of gussets, a support frame, a plurality of connectors, and a plurality of locking pins. The plurality of gussets may define a plurality of adjustment holes. The support frame may include first and second support members and a crossbar. The first and second support members may be connected to the base via the plurality of gussets. The plurality of connectors may be distributed about the base and along the crossbar. The plurality of locking pins may be sized to fit the plurality of adjustment holes to lock the support frame in one of a plurality of angled positions relative to the base.

A reformer may include a frame extending between a first end portion and a second end portion. The reformer may also include a carriage slidably coupled to the frame, where the carriage is movable along a length of the frame. The carriage is configured to be selectively and releasably coupled to the first end portion of the frame, and selectively and releasably coupled to the second end portion of the frame.

Provided herein is a gaming assembly having two or more collapsible frames, two or more facings, and one or more means for attachment. Each of the frames may be composed of first and second upright frame members that are connected by one or more crossbar frame members to define a vertical plane. Each of the two or more facings is configured to fasten to the upright frame members and the crossbar frame members, covering the vertical plane. The facings feature one or more means for capturing the one or more means for attachment, such as by means of magnetic strips. The means for attachment may be made of a material such as rope with pieces of magnetic metal attached at each end, and is used to connect a first frame to a second frame.

An interactive exercise apparatus for guiding a user to perform exercises includes a frame, a mirror, a display device, a driving mechanism, a determination unit, and a control unit. The mirror is movably mounted on the frame and configured to reflect an image of the user. The display device is disposed on a backside of the mirror and visible through the mirror. The driving mechanism is mounted between the frame and the mirror for electrically driving the mirror to move with respect to the frame. The determination unit is configured to determine location or posture of the user who performing the exercise. The control unit is operable to control the driving mechanism according to the location or posture of the user identified by the determination unit so as to control the mirror to move to a suitable position where the user can see their reflected image.

An exercise system includes a frame having a vertical post with adjustment holes extending therethrough; a lever arm attached to the vertical post via a carriage, the carriage to adjust up and down via the adjustment holes; the carriage having a brace creating a channel to engage with the post; a pivoting system extending from the brace, the pivoting system having a side to side pivoting connection attached to a second brace, the side to side pivoting connection allowing for the second brace to pivot horizontally; a rotating connection attached to the second brace via a first plate and the lever arm via a second plate, the rotating connection allowing for rotational movement of the lever arm; the carriage allows for the lever arm to be adjusted vertically, from side to side, and in a pivoting direction as needed for attachment of one or more exercise attachments.

An exercise apparatus comprises an exercise apparatus body and an image display connected to a front portion of a frame of the exercise apparatus body. The image display can be moved between a first position and at least one second position via a connecting component. When the image display is located at the first position, a display surface of the image display basically faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located in the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing an image to perform a first exercise by using the exercise apparatus in a first exercise area; and when the image display device is located at the second position, the display surface faces substantially rearward, and the center point of the display surface is located outside the region of the width in the transverse direction of the exercise apparatus body for a user viewing the image to perform a second exercise in a second exercise area which is outside the first exercise area.

A device for physical therapy includes a base on which a sliding platform is mounted. One or more of a plurality of springs may be selected to act between the base and the platform to tailor the resistance of platform motion to a specific therapy or patient. The platform has a removable cushion with a friction inducing surface which a patient may use in conjunction with a friction inducing headband to perform various neck therapies and exercises.
