An exercise device with controllable training modes includes a base, a first exercise mechanism, a second exercise mechanism, and an operating mechanism. The first exercise mechanism has a first gear member. The second exercise mechanism has a second gear member. The operating mechanism has a third gear member. When the third gear member is at a first position, the third gear member meshes with the first gear member and the second gear member to form a linked state, so that the first exercise mechanism and the second exercise mechanism are operatively linked and coupled and swing in opposite directions. When the third gear member is at a second position, the third gear member is disengaged from either the first gear member or the second gear member or both to form a free state, so that the first exercise mechanism and the second exercise mechanism individually swing.

A system and method for targeted neurological treatment using brainwave entrainment therapy with passive treatment that allows for targeted treatment of particular areas of the brain, particular neurological functions, particular neurological states, and combinations of areas, functions, and states. The system and method receive gait parameters for an individual and compare those against a database of historical gait data to determine if an onset neurodegenerative condition is present, and applies a brainwave entrainment therapy responsive to the determination of the condition. The system and method receive a neurological assessment identifying areas of the brain or neurological functions to be treated, select one or more treatment modalities and frequencies, select a treatment regimen, and apply brainwave entrainment using a treatment regimen while the subject engages in dual-task activities selected to stimulate the areas of the brain, neurological functions, or neurological states to be treated, enhanced, or altered.

A climbing exercise machine includes a beam supported on two columns supported on a base. Two handles are movably supported on the columns, respectively. The handles are movable in opposite directions. Two treads are movably supported on the columns, respectively. The treads are movable in opposite directions. An input axle is supported on the columns. The input axle is rotated as the handles and the treads are moved. A transmission case connects the input axle to an output axle. A disc is connected to the output axle. A frame is connected to the beam. A resistance element is supported on the frame. The resistance element includes a magnet. The resistance element is movable relative to the disc to adjust magnetism exerted on the disc by the magnets.

An improved method of physiotherapy includes loading muscles of a torso of a user with a torque acting substantially about a vertical axis; and the user using an exercise equipment while the torso is loaded with the torque.

An exercise device includes a frame, handlebars supported by the frame, and a computing device. The handlebars include a yoke that is movable relative to the frame, a biasing element positioned between the yoke and the frame, and a sensor configured to measure a movement of the yoke.

Disclosed is a climbing machine including a rotatable rotation shaft (501), a plurality of one-way components (502) capable of achieving one-way transmission, a plurality of transmission units (503) and a plurality of climbing points (300, 400), where the one-way components (502) are connected to the rotation shaft (501) in a sleeving manner, each transmission unit (503) is connected to one climbing point (300, 400), and each transmission unit (503) and the rotation shaft (501) form one-way transmission by means of being connected to one one-way component (502); in one rotating direction, the rotation shaft (501) and the transmission units (503) are capable of being in transmission, and the climbing points (300, 400) descend during transmission; and in the direction opposite to the rotating direction, transmission between the rotation shaft (501) and the transmission units (503) cannot be achieved. By using the climbing machine, a user can experience a vivid feeling of climbing upwards, thereby improving the climbing experience.

A vertically oriented fitness apparatus utilizes a combination of upper and lower assemblies resistant to vertical motion when the user pushes and pulls against crossbar members of the assemblies vertically. In alternate embodiments of the apparatus, resistance is provided by a dual action dashpot such as an adjustable bidirectional hydraulic damping cylinder which may be used in combination with spring resistance elements. The user is thus able to perform strength training and fitness conditioning exercises for both upper and lower extremities, and their core simultaneously while using the apparatus.

A motion assist crane device can include a base, a support tower extending upwardly from the base, a counterbalance beam attached to the support tower at a position between the ends of the counterbalance beam by a hinge, a tether attached to a first end of the counterbalance beam, the tether configured to attach to an arm of a user, and one or more weights positioned on a second end of the counterbalance beam. A method for assisting motion of a user's arm can include providing the device, attaching the tether to the user's arm, and moving the user's arm, wherein the movement is at least partially supported by the weights.

A pilates reformer machine has a frame with a longitudinal central extruded spine (2) extending between a first support member (4a, 4b) and a second support member (6a, 6b), a carriage (8) supporting a platform (9) moveable along the spine, at least one retention spring housed within the spine and attached to the carriage, the at least one retention spring being selectively attachable to the frame by buttons (12), the carriage being provided with sides that wrap around sides of the spine and engage with an underneath of the spine, the carriage further including a plurality of wheels receivable within tracks formed within the central spine. A leg exerciser (30) and foot bar (20) may be included in the machine.
