Computer-implemented questionnaire for orthopedic treatment
A system for physical rehabilitation comprises a clinician interface including a patient profile display presenting data regarding performance of a regimen for a body part. A patient interface presents instructions and status information regarding the performance of the regimen. The patient interface further presents a questionnaire soliciting responses to questions pertaining to current and past physical conditions of the patient. Selected responses to the questions cause the system to take actions, including preventing operation of a treatment apparatus by the patient, and/or transmitting an alert message to a clinician. The alert message may be transmitted within the clinician interface and/or as a real-time message outside of the clinician interface. A questionnaire is presented to the patient in response to occurrence of a triggering event pertaining to the patient's use of the treatment apparatus.
ROWING EXERCISE SYSTEM
A lower limb exercise system exercise system includes a chair including a seat and a rowing exercise device configured to enable a user to perform rowing exercise while the user remains sitting on the seat. The seat is configured to at least roll, pitch, or yaw. The seat can instead be configured to at least roll and yaw. The rolling of the seat indicates that the seat descends as the seat moves away to the right or the left from a reference position.
Indoor bicycle adjustment method and system
A stationary indoor “smart” training bicycle includes a unique combination of adjustable components to provide configurable dimensions to adjust the frame size of the indoor bicycle to properly fit a rider. A system is also provided to process a digital image of an outdoor bicycle and determine and translate dimensions and adjustments to the indoor bicycle to match one or more dimensions (lengths, angles, separations, etc.) of the outdoor bicycle.
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.
Indoor training bicycle device
An indoor, stationary, bicycle training device that provides advantages over conventional designs of exercise bicycles is provided. The stationary bicycle may include a tilting/pivoting mechanism to orient the indoor bicycle to simulate descending or climbing. The indoor bicycle may include flexible and resilient frame elements to support the indoor training device to move side-to-side under some riding situations thereby simulating the side-to-side swaying motion of an outdoor bicycle under the same riding situations. The indoor bicycle may include several combinations of frame adjustments to provide configurable dimensions of the indoor bicycle to adjust the frame to properly fit the rider, which may be adjusted based on corresponding dimensions of a user's outdoor bicycle. Still other aspects of the stationary bicycle device may aid in creating an “outdoor” feeling while using the device.
APPARATUS FOR THE CONTROL OF A TRAINING DEVICE
An apparatus for controlling of a training device including a training device configured to absorb a mechanical power applied by a person undertaking physical training, an assistance unit configured to assist the training and/or to make the training more difficult, and an exertion measuring apparatus configured to measure mechanical exertion data of an effort applied by the person during the training, a body sensor configured to measure physiological data of the body of the person, a computing unit configured, with an optimization algorithm, to adjust coefficients, a summand, and delays to prepare a prediction of the physiological data based on a model, and a control unit configured to take a predetermined reference variable for the physiological data, to take the prediction as a control variable, and to control an assistance of the assistance unit as a manipulated variable.
Exercise apparatus
An improved exercise equipment including a stationary exercise apparatus, a lever arm pivotably biased about a pivot axis, and a support for supporting the lever arm above the stationary exercise apparatus. The pivot axis extends substantially in a vertical direction. The stationary exercise apparatus is of a type to cause the legs of a user to scissor as the user operates the stationary exercise apparatus. In an exemplary embodiment, the stationary exercise apparatus is a treadmill.
Control system for a rehabilitation and exercise electromechanical device
An electromechanical device for rehabilitation includes pedals coupled to radially-adjustable couplings, an electric motor coupled to the pedals via the radially-adjustable couplings, and a control system including a processing device operatively coupled to the electric motor. The processing device configured to, responsive to a first trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a passive mode by independently driving the radially-adjustable couplings rotationally coupled to the pedals. The processing device also configured to, responsive to a second trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in an active-assisted mode by measuring revolutions per minute of the radially-adjustable couplings, and cause the electric motor to drive the radially-adjustable couplings when the measured revolutions per minute satisfy a threshold condition, and responsive to a third trigger condition occurring, control the electric motor to operate in a resistive mode by providing resistance to rotation of the radially-adjustable couplings.
Upper leg and hip exercise method and device to preserve knee and ankle joint while exercising
The present invention includes an arm; a leg pad; a long rectangle shaped seat; a seat angle fixing unit on the seat, for adjusting the angle between the seat and the leg pad (when viewed from above) according to his/her purpose so that the seat can be adjusted to be perpendicular or parallel to the leg pad when viewed from above; and thus the to the user is allowed to move the exercising leg of the user to the back of the user or perform a motion for stretching his/her back straight from a starting pose at which the user lie down on his/her back placed on the seat, wherein the leg pad is placed above the user's pelvis.
LEFT AND RIGHT OSCILLATION WIDTH ADJUSTMENT AND ROTATION STRUCTURE OF STATIONARY BIKE SADDLE
The present invention relates to a right and left oscillation width adjustment and rotation structure of a stationary bike saddle, which enables a user to directly perform adjustment to correspond to the range of motion of the hip joint while inducing the buffering action of the left and right oscillations of the saddle and the dispersed load when the user sits on the saddle of the stationary bike and pedals thereon, so as to secure stability for the motion of the pelvis and spine during pedaling and enables core muscle training at the same time as lower body exercise during pedaling, the structure consisting of: a buffering part (100) which is disposed on the bottom surface of a saddle member (8) to relieve the load and left and right oscillations dispersed by the user's pedaling operation; a left and right moving part (200) which is coupled to the buffering part to perform a left and right sliding motion; a forward and backward moving part (300) which is coupled to the left and right moving part (200) to perform a forward and backward sliding motion; and an eccentric rotating part (400), in which the left and right moving part (200) and the forward and backward moving part (300) are coupled and which is rotated eccentrically to simultaneously control the sliding motion of each moving part. The eccentric rotation radius of the eccentric rotation part (400) can be extended or reduced according to the user's selection, and the left and right sliding and forward and backward sliding motions are controlled by the adjusted rotation radius.
