A63B23/1209
Walking assist device
A walking assist device includes: a pair of right and left handles that are movable back and forth with respect to a frame in accordance with arm swing performed during walk of a user; rails on which the handles are provided and which limit movement of the handles in a movable range in accordance with arm swing performed during the walk of the user; a handle information acquisition unit that acquires information related to movement of the handles; and a control unit that controls a drive unit in accordance with the information from the handle information acquisition unit.
Exercise machine connector
An exercise machine component comprises a cable connection base adapted to attach to an end of a cable, a chamber adapted to receive a key through an opening of the chamber, a biasing mechanism within the chamber, and a receiving groove within the chamber wherein the biasing mechanism biases the key against the receiving groove so that the key is securely fixed within the chamber.
Chair-Based Workout Apparatus and Methods
A workout system is provided that includes a piece of furniture having at least a backrest and a seat. A chair workout machine is provided coupled to the piece of furniture. The chair workout machine includes a support frame coupled to at least one structure of the piece of furniture. At least one rotatable arm is rotatably attached to the support frame. One or more resistance elements are coupled to the at least one rotatable arm, where the resistance elements arranged to provide resistance to movement by at least one body part of a user.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO INDEPENDENTLY ADJUST RESISTANCE OF PEDALS BASED ON LEG STRENGTH
A method is disclosed for using an artificial intelligence engine to modify resistance of pedals of an exercise device. The method includes generating, by the artificial intelligence engine, a machine learning model trained to receive measurements as input, and outputting, based on the measurements, a control instruction that causes the exercise device to modify, independently from each other, the resistance of the pedals. While a user performs an exercise using the exercise device, the method includes receiving the measurements from sensors associated with the pedals. The method includes determining, based on the measurements, a quantifiable or qualitative modification to the resistance provided by a pedal of the pedals. The resistance provided by another pedal of the pedals is not modified. The method includes transmitting the control instruction to the exercise device to cause the resistance provided by the pedal to be modified.
Slidable bar and carriage exercise assembly
An exercise apparatus includes a frame with a pair of vertical guides. A carriage is slidably carried on each of the guides. Each of the carriages has a locking mechanism to lock the carriage at a selected vertical position and a release to disengage the locking mechanism. A horizontal exercise bar is slidably carried on guide rods. First and second cables are coupled to a selectable exercise resistance, each of the cables having an end selectively coupled to either the respective carriage or to a respective bracket at the end of the exercise bar. Secondary brackets on the exercise bar are configured to engage respective ones of the carriage releases and grab the carriage so as to selectively engage and disengage the locking mechanisms upon axial rotation of the exercise bar and raise and lower the carriages with the exercise bar.
System and methods for adjusting variable geometry, height, weight distribution dynamics in orthotic devices and equipment
An active suspension orthotic support system is disclosed. The suspension orthotic support system comprises at least one variable resistance beam extending from a heel section to a mid-arch section of the footwear, wherein rotation of the variable resistance beam from a first position to a second position causes a resistance provided by the variable resistance beam to vary between a minimum resistance to a maximum resistance.
FITNESS APPARATUS FOR TRAINING THE HUMAN BODY
A fitness apparatus for training the human body includes a support member having a fastening member arranged at a first end of the support member for fastening the support member to an overhead support structure, preferably to a ceiling of a room. The fitness apparatus includes a weight bar for receiving weights having a free end and a mounted portion and a bearing member receiving the mounted portion and connects the weight bar to a second end of the support member which is opposite the first end. The weight bar is movable in at least two planes including a plane which extends perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis y of the support member and a plane in which the longitudinal axis y of the support member extends. The support member has a length L.sub.H of at least 100 cm.
TRAINING DEVICE AND UTILIZING METHOD THEREOF
The present disclosure provides a training device and a utilizing method thereof. The training device includes a main assembly and a first attachment assembly. The main assembly includes a housing and a driving component. The driving component is disposed in the housing. The first attachment assembly includes a first rod and a first attachment component. An end of the first rod is connected to the driving component. The driving component drives the first rod to rotate. The first attachment component is disposed on the first rod and attaches to a user.
Upper Body Exercise Machine
The present invention relates to an upper body exercise machine. The exercise machine enables users to work out multiple upper body muscle groups simultaneously by a simple exercise movement. The machine includes a rotatable arm that is rotated using a handle secured to the arm. The arm is rotated using an axle (i.e. rotated around an axle) that is connected to a resistance wheel. By turning a resistance knob, resistance to the rotation of the arm can be adjusted, and a user can apply force based on the selected resistance. The arm can include a plurality of handle-mounting holes for receiving the handle to change the amount of leverage, or moment arm, applied for rotating the arm.
PORTABLE AND VARIABLE EXERCISE DEVICE
The apparatus provides an exercise device that is portable, versatile, and enables the user to match the resistance of the device with the normal physiologic length-tension relationship of skeletal muscle. The device adds resistance in the form of cartridges that are stackable to summate resistance and can connect to a variety of attachments for use with arms, legs, or trunk, i.e., handle, bar, loop, etc. Given the device’s portability, it can be used freestyle or mounted to various surfaces.
