Upper leg and hip exercise method and device to preserve knee and ankle joint while exercising
An exercise device for performing exercises suitable to strengthen thigh and hip muscles such as a leg press machine, a total hip, a stationary bicycle, or a moving bicycle, and more particularly provides an exercise device for strengthening thigh and hip muscles while protecting the knees and ankle joints by enabling a user to locate a lower end of an arm on the user's thighs in a sitting, prone or supine position and move the user's legs in order to minimize a load or stress added to the knee and ankle joints.
AUXILIARY HANDLE
An auxiliary handle includes a connection device, a support rod, a bracket, an arm support and a soft cushion. The connection device includes a rod fastening part, a jaw part and a jaw plate which forms a clamping space. The support rod is fastened on the rod fastening part. The bracket includes an interlocking member and a support part, the interlocking member is disposed on the support rod, and when the interlocking member is locked, the bracket is fastened on the support rod. The arm support is disposed on the support part. The soft cushion is disposed on a top of the arm support. The auxiliary handle can be disposed on an exercise bike handle to provide a rider to lean arm thereon, so as to decrease consumption of arm strength, thereby solving the problem that the rider's arm is tired before leg fatigue during training.
CORE EXERCISE DEVICE
An exercise device includes a body engagement portion and a ground engagement portion. The body engagement portion is capable of supporting a user. The body engagement portion includes a base surface capable of supporting the user in a standard plank position. The ground engagement portion includes an arched contact surface that allows the user to rotate between a first side plank position, the standard plank position, and a second side plank position relative to a support surface while the arched contact surface remains in contact with the support surface and the body engagement portion supports the user.
Physical Therapy Device
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.
Exercise machine with movable user support
An exercise machine with a two directional pivoting user support assembly has a user support or platform which supports the user and pivots about a first pivot axis during an exercise movement, and is also pivotable about at least one second pivot axis to involve the user's core muscles in balancing and maintaining the user support in a stable position. A manually operable locking device with a simple flip switch lever is provided for selectively locking the user support against rotation about the second pivot axis, so that the user can easily chose whether to perform the exercise with a stable support or to add a level of difficulty by using the unstable seat mode and exercising core muscles during the exercise.
DEVICE FOR ARM-STRENGTH TRAINING
A training device useful at least for exercises for bicep workouts and strengthening is configurable for multiple types of movement and use. The training device has a frame, two arm cradles attached in variable configurations, and a multi-use strap. The arm cradles are removable from the frame for re-configuration or for storage and transport. To configure the training device for compact storage and transportation, the arm cradles can be detached, nestled into the inner side of the frame, and wrapped by the strap. To attain various workout configurations, the arm cradles can be interchanged on the frame, reoriented on the frame, and adjusted to preferred lateral positions on the frame.
LIMB EXERCISE DEVICE
There is provided a limb exercise device comprising: a force sensor configured to determine a weight applied to the device; a sliding component configured to facilitate the sliding movement of the device along a separate surface, wherein the separate surface is a surface that is separate to the device, wherein the sliding component comprises a part of an external housing of the device; a device movement sensor configured to determine a movement of the device on the separate surface; a limb position sensor configured to determine a position, in at least one dimension, of a limb of a user positioned above or adjacent to the device; and an output device configured to output an indication in dependence on a signal from at least one of: the force sensor, the device movement sensor and the limb position sensor.
GRIP THERAPY DEVICES AND REHABILITATION SYSTEMS
Hand grip therapy devices and systems for rehabilitation system for increasing the functionality and/or strength in a hand compromised by disease, injury, and the like. In one embodiment the hand grip therapy device includes a dodecahedron portion which is gripped by a hand having less functionality and a prism or paddle portion which is gripped by a hand having greater functionality, the device then being manipulated in a therapeutic manner using both hands.
Exercise apparatus
The present disclosure provides an exercise apparatus with a mobility mat and an orthopedic device. The mobility mat can have a plurality of segments with a plurality of assistive features such as hand holds, foot holds, and a contoured cushion. The mobility mat can be configured to couple with the orthopedic device. The orthopedic device can have an inclined face and a plurality of remaining faces including various additional assistive features.
Water jug/ water can exercise device/ equipment system
An exercise device includes a jug including a first external cutout portion and a second external cutout portion together forming an external cutout having a cross shape in the outer surface of the jug. The jug also includes a first, second, and third handle. The exercise device is configured to allow a user's wrist and forearm to enter the cutout portions.
