Abstract:
The embodiments herein provide an exercising equipment and a method for spinal adjustment or spinal manipulation without causing compression or pressure on other body parts of a user. The equipment comprises a freely moving padded roller that is attached to a hollow pipe, a strap, and a handle. The user of the equipment lays on the padded roller and exerts pressure on the targeted area by pushing up on the handles with arms. Further, the user moves the roller up and down the spine by popping/adjusting each vertebrae. The equipment adjusts user's spine thoracic and upper lumbar area, in a more natural position, by using user's own body weight along with the force exerted by the user on the equipment. The equipment manipulates spinal vertebras of the user without sending all the exerted pressure through the internal organs, body cavity, rib cage and sternum.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to massage assembly structured for mounting on a vertical supporting surface during a massaging procedure. The massage assembly includes an elongated housing mounted on the supporting surface in a substantially vertical orientation. A contact assembly is movably disposed on the housing and is operative to apply a massaging pressure to predetermined body portions of the user. A sensor assembly is disposed and structured to determine at least one area of engagement between the housing and the user's body. A drive assembly is connected in driving relation to the contact assembly. The sensor assembly is connected to the drive assembly and is operative to determine at least one area of application of the contact assembly on the predetermined body portion.
Abstract:
An exercise device designed to work and strengthen abdominal muscles while in a standing position comprises a center tube that forms the main axle of the device. The center tube extends completely through where it forms the left and right gripping handles. A pair of padded rollers is rotatingly supported upon the center tube and are pressed upon and then motioned downwardly and upwardly over a user's quadriceps in a reciprocating manner to exercise the abdominal muscles. A gap between the rollers is provided to allow clearance for the device as it is utilized.
Abstract:
The device for massaging a human body cavity includes a substantially cylindrical shaft having a length and a diameter configured to fit inside the human body cavity and an asymmetric edge created inside of any auxiliary symmetric figures such as triangles, squares, or ovals. The asymmetry of the massager's cross section allows for twisting motions when pressure from the body cavity is exerted on the massager.
Abstract:
A massage roller includes a cylindrical roller core and a generally resilient roller body mounted on the roller core. The roller body includes a plurality of massage zones having various densities.
Abstract:
A flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus allows the user to stretch various muscles as if they are assisted by a partner. The flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus includes at least one foot support, at least one fastening strap, and an anchor. The anchor is opposite the at least one foot support along the at least one fastening strap. The anchor is fixed to a support during the implementation of the flexibility and fitness increasing apparatus such that the user can stretch effectively, unaided, and in a controlled fashion. The at least one fastening strap is adjustably connected to the at least one foot support through a securing buckle of the at least one foot support such that the length between the anchor and the at least on foot support is variable. The user increases the tension on the at least one fastening strap to effectively stretch their muscles.
Abstract:
A tilting inversion exerciser includes a carrier pivotally attached to a supporting stand for mounting a supporting table and for supporting a user, the supporting table includes a number of grooves, and a massage member is engaged with either of the grooves of the supporting table for attaching to the supporting table and for selectively engaging with the user to selectively massage the user. The massage member includes a catch engageable through the grooves of the supporting table for attaching to the supporting table, the catch is coupled to the massage member with a reduced neck member. The catch includes a length (L) greater than the width (D) of the grooves of the supporting table for engaging with the supporting table.
Abstract:
A spine rehabilitation exercise device comprises a soleplate; and an exercise mechanism disposed on the soleplate, wherein the exercise mechanism comprises a sliding mechanism movably disposed on the soleplate; a supporting base movably mounted on top of the sliding mechanism, the supporting base being capable of rocking on top of the sliding mechanism; a pillow mounted on the supporting base; and an elastic assembly disposed between the pillow and the supporting base. The whole device has simple structure, convenient assembly, small and compact volume and good mobility and portability; the device can not only have health care and therapeutic effects on spine, but also be used as a pillow on other occasions, thereby having high practicability and better flexibility in use; moreover, the device is not driven by a power supply, so that it is safer and more reliable to use.
Abstract:
The proposed apparatus and method relate to restorative sports medicine and patient rehabilitation with neurological motoric disorders. A patient is positioned in equilibrium by suspension devices for patient's body parts. The suspension devices are moved by actuating mechanisms with an electro-pneumatic drive and actuating components, controlled by a programmed computer, motivating the patient by controlling an object in a virtual gaming environment, to restore movements when there is an initially minimal or a complete absence of physical activity. The effectiveness is judged according to the reduction of energy consumption of the drives. The apparatus includes a base composed of two parallel guides with movable crossbars, on which the actuating mechanisms are pairwise movably arranged, monitoring and control units, the computer, sensors detecting the state of the actuating mechanisms, and power sources. There are units for analyzing the energy consumption of each drive and for assessing the treatment results.
