    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gripping handle that tightens to a hand when pulling force is applied and loosens from the hand when pulling force is not applied. The gripping handle may comprise a dowel, a first and second loop, an attachment point, and a flexible connector running from the attachment point, through the first loop, along the dowel, through the second loop, and back to the attachment point. A portion of the flexible connector running along the dowel may loop over a hand gripping the dowel and may tighten to the hand when the dowel is pulled on. The flexible connector may loosen from the hand when the dowel is no longer being pulled. The present invention additionally features an exercise device comprising the gripping handle attached by a cord running through a pulley component to a weight.

    Abstract: An automated system used for physical therapy, more particularly a motorized system of exercising a user's legs at variable cycles. The system utilizes a unique system of wheels connected to a motor and attached to a series of elongated components which facilitate the movement of a user's legs. The system of the present invention can provide users with increased mobility and enhanced circulation. The system may be useful for individuals recovering from an injury, individuals who are overweight, or individuals with diabetes. The system may also be used for exercises to provide leg extension and improve leg strength.

    Abstract: Dynamic furniture having platforms in dynamic attachment to an actuator assembly that in turn is in dynamic attachment to a base. Use of motional platforms supported by a motional actuator assembly permits an article of the furniture to conform to the many and varied body positions a user wants, and allows a user to more easily change body positions while remaining within the furniture, and in medical scenarios may obviate most needs to transfer a patient from one article of furniture to another.

    Abstract: A configurable self-massaging device. The device may comprise a base component having a leg support pole extending from the base component at an angle. The device may further comprise a main pole extending vertically from the base component. The device may further comprise one or more massage components. Each massage component may comprise a cushion, a vibration component attached to the cushion, wherein actuating the vibration component may cause vibration of the cushion, and an attachment component configured to secure the massage component to a point on a pole. A massage component attached to the main pole may allow for massaging of a user's hands, wrists, back, buttocks, chest, face, neck, and head. A massage component attached to the leg support pole may allow for massaging of a user's legs and feet.

    Abstract: An automated physical therapy system comprising two leg components, each of said leg components optionally moving alternatively above and below a base plane, thereby simulating a swimming motion in the legs of a user. The system provides a unique hemodynamic effect, i.e. blood from one of the user's legs above the base plane is displaced by gravity into the rest of the body, while blood from the user's other leg disposed below the base plane is displaced in that leg by gravity. Said hemodynamic effect is advantageous because the net hemodynamic effect is zero, i.e. blood displaced into the rest of the user's body is roughly equivalent to blood displaced into the user's other leg, allowing use of the system by users who are at risk if a large amount of blood is displaced in the user's heart or other internal organs.
