Abstract:
An exercise device provides first and second foot-support surfaces which are each displaced by an actuator system along an arbitrary path defined in at least two dimensions over a range of at least 25 centimeters by 15 centimeters. A control system is configured to control the actuator system so as to generate an exercise path for each of the first and second foot-support surfaces. The exercise movement may be active or passive, and may be varied dynamically during an uninterrupted exercise session.

Abstract:
The invention relates to equipment for biomechanical stimulation, comprising a base unit, a support unit (4) that is mounted on the base unit in such a way that the position of the support unit can be continuously adjusted in relation to the base unit and a cylindrical stimulation unit (9). The latter contains a drive motor (10) and is connected to the support unit in such a way that during operation it executes a circular or elliptical movement about an axis that differs from the cylinder axis and undergoes a parallel displacement. The equipment can used, in particular, for the selective therapeutic treatment of certain parts of the body, preferably the leg or back muscles.

Other embodiments include chair fixing mechanism (14), (14a) to hold the device from moving, and stepper mechanism (11a), (11b), (22a′), (22b) and varied track direction (12c) for diverse exercise of the user.
Abstract:
The majority of adult devices have been designed for an individual to hold. However, it would be beneficial to provide users with a range of adult devices that support their use either in a hands free manner and/or are compatible with being worn by the user for varying periods of time from intermittent/occasional short durations through to extended wearing such as all day for example. In order to provide such wearable devices being able to separate the drive means from the stimulation means provides increased design flexibility as well as allowing different designs of adult device to be implemented as the design flexibility within the appropriate regions of the user's anatomy increases when the large vibratory motors are removed and connected to the stimulation means via flexible drive shaft. Further, beneficially, flexible drive shafts allow operation as the user moves during normal activities, such as sitting, standing, walking, etc.

Abstract:
A stretching device that enables a user to employ the mechanical advantage of a multi-pulley system while performing various, prolonged muscle stretches; the stretching device including a first anchor assembly, a second anchor assembly, and a motion transfer line. The first motion transfer line has a first anchor body and a first motion transfer pulley; the first anchor body being attached to the user and the first motion transfer pulley being coupled to the first anchor body. Similarly, the second motion transfer line has a second anchor body and a second motion transfer pulley; the second anchor body being attached to a stationary object and the second motion transfer pulley being coupled to the second anchor body. The motion transfer line is terminally attached to the first anchor body and is trained around both the first motion transfer pulley and the second motion transfer pulley.

Abstract:
A gait rehabilitation machine and a method of using the same for lower-limb rehabilitation. The gait rehabilitation machine includes: a frame; a rear supporting member provided at the frame so that the back side of a human body can lean against the rear supporting member; a thigh supporting member corresponding to a thigh of the human body and pivotally connected to the frame; a shank supporting member corresponding to the corresponding shank of the human body, pivotally connected to the thigh supporting member, and having a pedal to be stepped on by the human body; a knee supporting member corresponding to the corresponding knee of the human body and provided at the thigh supporting member or the shank supporting member; and a transmission device for driving the shank supporting member to move. Thus, a patient can do lower-limb gait rehabilitation exercise without using a suspension system.
