Cantilevered shoe construction

InactiveUS6948262B2Improves ankle stabilityReduce the possibilitySolesNon-surgical orthopedic devicesPush offMusculoskeletal injury
A cantilevered shoe construction for preventing knee and hip osteoarthritis. The shoe construction includes a cantilevered foot support with an anchored lateral side and a fully or partially cantilevered medial side. The cantilevered foot support transfers forces, otherwise transmitted through the medial aspect of the shoe and foot, to the lateral side of the shoe and foot, thereby reducing the knee varus and hip adductor torques to prevent or delay onset of knee and hip osteoarthritis and reducing the ankle joint adductor torque to reduce the risk for ankle sprain injury. The reduction of these joint torques also maintains posture without counterbalancing muscle activity, thereby improving muscle efficiency and performance during weight bearing activities and reducing the tendency for musculoskeletal injury. A spring loading effect of other embodiments enhances the natural coronal foot progression during gait so as to enhance the push off phase of gait.

Exercise machine For Use with Lower Body Negative Pressure Box

A compact, portable, lightweight, easily transportable leg press exercise apparatus to simulate both exercise and the daily activity of sitting in a microgravity environment. The exercise portion of the apparatus creates stress on the lower extremities by supplying a variable resistance to a reciprocating foot pedal by way of a coil spring and damper system acting through a four-bar linkage. The chair is adjustable in angle to fit each user and to simulate a force that is two-thirds of body weight. By combining resistance exercise and lower body negative pressure with the LBNP leg press exercise apparatus, the users experience one or more times body weight (BW) in stress on their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems. By achieving one times BW or greater (artificial gravity) during exercise and two-thirds BW during sitting, the gap between the precondition and post condition syndrome will become smaller.

Golf swing training and exercise system, device and kit

A golf swing training and exercise system includes an optically reflective device, a golf device, a pair of light source devices, and a resistance device. The golf device has a center section that is placed on the back of a user during a golf swing training and exercise routine, two end sections extending outwardly from the center section, and a pair of intermediate sections that are disposed between and interconnect the center section and the respective end sections to one another and on which the user's hands or forearms are placed during the golf swing training and exercise routine. The light source devices are connected to respective distal ends of the end sections for projecting light beams on a reflective surface of the optically reflective device during a golf swing training and exercise routine. The resistance device is removably connected to the golf device to apply a resistance in at least one direction of movement of the golf device during the golf swing training and exercise routine.

Calf enhancer for the lower extremity

An ingenious calf, shin and ankle rehabilitation and exerciser apparatus for engagement with the lower leg muscles and ankle comprising of a rigid sole plate member (12) having a sole plate protective pad 40 and affixed fastening sole straps (52) for securing foot to sole plate member (12), an attachable fulcrum heel ball member (18) for attaching to the bottom of heel section (16). Sole plate member (12) is pivotally attached to a rigid cross brace member (20) which is comprised of a fastening shin straps (50) affixed to a shin protective pad member (36) to secure the lower leg to a rigid pivoting back support member (22) that is pivotally engaged to cross brace member (20). Cross brace (20) engages the toe section (14) of sole plate member (12) via an engaging biasing resistance means (48) that provides posterior and anterior resistance not limited to isotonic and isometric for the flexing of the foot and ankle not limited to dorsi-flexion, plantar-flexion, inversion or eversion. The invention also provides a means for immobilizing and supporting the foot in a relation substantially at a right angle to the lower leg for walking or rehabilitation.

A compact, portable, lightweight, easily transportable leg press exercise apparatus to simulate both exercise and the daily activity of sitting in a microgravity environment. The exercise portion of the apparatus creates stress on the lower extremities by supplying a variable resistance to a reciprocating foot pedal by way of a coil spring and damper system acting through a four-bar linkage. The leg press exercise apparatus is paired with an existing Lower Body Negative Pressure (LBNP) box to add an evenly distributed pressure-induced stress to the lower extremities. By combining resistance exercise and lower body negative pressure with the LBNP leg press exercise apparatus, the users experience one or more times body weight (BW) in stress on their musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems. By achieving one times BW or greater (artificial gravity) during exercise and two-thirds BW during sitting, the gap between the precondition and post condition syndrome will become smaller.
