An orthostatic hypotension alleviation device comprising an outer casing comprising an aperture extending therethrough; a carriage arranged within the outer casing and configured to be reciprocally displaced towards and away from the aperture along a carriage displacement axis; a spindle arranged on the carriage and configured to rotate about a spindle axis; a tether at least partially wound around the spindle, the tether comprising a distal end extending through the aperture, the tether being arranged such that it can be extended from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration in which the tether is fully extended by pulling the distal end away from the aperture so rotating the spindle about the spindle axis; a spindle biasing mechanism connected to the spindle and configured to apply a biasing torque to the spindle about the spindle axis so as to bias the tether towards the retracted configuration; and, a carriage biasing mechanism arranged within the outer casing connected to the carriage and configured to bias the carriage away from the aperture.

The present invention is a modular exercise system made up of two handles, a segmented track, and two or more sliding carriages. The invention allows a user to safely and incrementally practice front and side split exercises by providing specific and adjustable stability and support. The invention can be extended to accommodate taller users and can also be fully disassembled and packed into a compact travelling configuration.

An exercise device and system are provided. The exercise device and system are especially suitable for use with sub-maximal to maximal concentric, isometric and eccentric exercises. The exercise device has a back-plate unit, an extended bar and a foot-brace unit. A first and second strap, each having a hand loop, may be grasped by the hands and may be attached to the extended bar and may be connected to the foot-brace unit. An optional scale may be secured to the foot-brace.

The present application provides a fitness resistance band. The fitness resistance band includes a handle assembly and a resistance band body, where the handle assembly includes a handle body and sleeve rings, first connecting parts are further disposed on the sleeve rings, and the resistance band body is connected to the first connecting parts. The handle assembly is provided with the handle body and the sleeve rings, the sleeve rings can rotate relative to the handle body. In use, the resistance band body can rotate together with the sleeve rings, so that relative rotation occurs between the sleeve rings and the handle body, friction between the resistance band body and the handle body is avoided, and the resistance band body is protected from wear.

A pivoting lower limb therapy device formed from a lever frame having a handle portion integral with its proximal end and a first orthotic portion adjacent to its distal end, a base frame having a second orthotic portion integral with its proximal frame end and a surface support portion integral with its distal frame end, with the lever frame rotatably attached to the base frame so as to permit the first orthotic portion to move across two dimensions relative to the second orthotic portion in response to an exertion of mechanical force on the handle portion. The pivoting lower limb therapy device may also include a strap assembly connected to and extending between the proximal end of the lever frame and the proximal frame end of the base frame so as to exert mechanical force on the two frame members.

Example aspects of a stretching apparatus and a method for stretching a user's body are disclosed. The stretching apparatus can comprise an elongate support bar defining a bar first end and a bar second end opposite the bar first end; and a body stretching attachment coupled to the elongate support bar, the body stretching attachment comprising a primary strap, a first strap connector, and a second strap connector, wherein the primary strap comprises a flexible, inelastic material, and wherein the elongate support bar engages each of the first strap connector and second strap connector.

A multifunctional mobile exercise apparatus and method for exercising the upper extremities is disclosed. The apparatus includes a base, an elongate shaft pivotally coupled to the base, a plurality of ground lockable ground wheels supporting the base. The apparatus includes a resistance clip that is selectively positionable along a length of the elongate shaft. A cylindrical sleeve may also be provided for sliding, with or without a resistance band, along the length of the elongate shaft. The mobile exercise apparatus provides single or bilateral hold for one or more resistance bands and the mobile arm. The resistance band and the mobile arm can be held by the injured or non-injured extremity. The elongate shaft and locks up to 8 feet high, and can also be used for the attachment jumbo resistance clips, or for the sliding exercises.

In an exercising band and an exercising monitoring system having the exercising band, the exercising band includes a band part, at least one sensor part and a spacer. The band part is configured to be elongated according as an external force is applied. The sensor part is disposed inside of the band part, is configured to be elongated according as the band part is elongated, and has first and second sensors. The first and second sensors have conductivity. The spacer is configured to insulate the first and second sensors with each other. The first and second sensors are electrically contacted with each other, as the external force is applied along a direction substantially crossing an extending direction of the first and second sensors.

An arm-training device, and methods of making and using such an arm-training device, whereby the arm-training device includes a flexible elongate member having an elastic length disposed between opposing first and second ends; a first loop formed proximate the first end; a second loop formed proximate the second end; a first slide coupled to the first loop, the first slide movable along the length of the elongate member; and a second slide coupled to the second loop, the second slide movable along the length of the elongate member.

An exercise device includes a strap. The strap includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The strap is configured to be secured to a lower leg of a user such that the first surface of the strap interfaces with the lower leg of the user. The exercise device further includes a ball including an outer surface configured to be held by the user, a first connector extending from the ball, a second connector extending from the second surface of the strap, and a tension member. The tension member includes a first coupling mechanism and a second coupling mechanism at opposite ends thereof and configured to be releasably coupled to the first connector and the second connector via the first and second coupling mechanisms.
