Benefits of technology

[0007]The main object of the present invention is therefore that of providing a device for warming up, exercising and strengthening the muscles of the lower limbs that is adaptable to the needs and characteristics of the user and can be produced at decidedly competitive costs.
[0008]Another object of the present invention is that of providing a strengthening and exercising device of the muscles of the lower limbs, in particular for warming up to be carried out by drummers before playing the drums, that is very efficient and easy to maneuver.

Problems solved by technology

Regarding the rehabilitation of the leg muscles, in particular in the calf area, their rehabilitation is carried out by walking and / or by means of the use of gymnastic equipment, which has complex structure and is therefore costly, with considerable bulk.
One such solution is thus little practical, since it does not permit adjusting the initial slope of the upper plate-like element in order to be suitable for the user's needs.
Drummers, for example, require control pedals with adjustable slope, otherwise they run the risk of having to assume, for hours, an uncomfortable foot posture that could in the long-term cause them considerable discomfort.

Embodiment Construction

[0028]With reference first to FIG. 1, a strengthening device is illustrated of the muscles of a lower limb (leg) according to the present invention. The strengthening device comprises a single-piece body 1, substantially shaped as a wedge truncated at the tip and having an upper portion, in use, with a flat top work surface 3 and a lower abutment portion having a bottom surface 4. Surfaces. 3 and 4 are extended along a desired slope angle, typically in the range of about 20-60°, with respect to each other. The body 1 is composed of an elastically deformable material, for which the upper surface 3, in use, and the lower abutment surface 4 are yieldingly maintained in a mutually tilted arrangement.

[0029]Typically, the body 1 is made of an elastic material selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicone, polyamide (e. g. Nylon®) and the like.

[0030]FIGS. 2 to 5 illustrate another embodiment of the strengthening device according to the present invention equipped with a body 2 subs...

Abstract

The invention is a leg muscle strengthening device used for warming up, exercising, and strengthening the muscles of the lower limbs particularly after a period of immobilization or in order to carry out particular sporting or artistic activities. The invention comprises a main body including, in use, at least one work portion and at least one portion of abutment on a support, the main body being composed of an elastically deformable material, and the work portion and the abutment portion being yieldingly maintained in a mutually angled arrangement.

Description

FIELD OF INVENTION[0001]The present invention regards a strengthening device of the leg muscles, in particular in the calf and foot areas, particularly recommended for rehabilitating the leg and generally the lower limbs after a period of immobilization or for exercising and greatly strengthening the leg muscles in order to carry out particular sporting or artistic activities, e. g. playing drum pedals, warming up the muscles before a race and the like.[0002]In particular, a strengthening device according to the invention is suitable for developing the recruitment and kinesthetic proprioception (neuromuscular control) of the leg muscles.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0003]As is known, for exercising and / or rehabilitating arms muscles, in particular the forearm, (spherical) bodies are often used made of elastically deformable material, typically rubber. The user grasps one of such bodies and then repeatedly compresses and releases it, thus placing under stress the muscles of the arm and for...
