Abstract: A sand trap simulation pad is provided having a fluffy structure on its top surface made up of soft loose-ended hair-like fibers and having a high-friction material on its bottom surface. The pad is configured for use as a golf swing training device to practice hitting a golf ball out of a sand trap. Repetitive use of the pad teaches a user the optimal golf swing for properly hitting a golf ball out of a sand trap.

Abstract: A device is provided that indicates to a user that the user is properly maintaining a sufficient amount of his or her weight on the lead foot during the course of a golf swing, thereby effecting an optimal golf swing.

Abstract: A device is provided that indicates to a user when the user has properly shifted a sufficient amount of his or her downward force to the trail foot and thereafter to the lead foot during the course of a golf swing, thereby effecting an optimal golf swing.

Abstract: A swing training assembly includes a shuttle, a shuttle travel track, a tensioner, a shuttle displacement line and a shuttle pulley. The shuttle resides in the shuttle travel track and the shuttle pulley and shuttle displacement line are adapted to linearly displace the shuttle to different shuttle positions within the shuttle travel track in response to displacement forces applied to the shuttle pulley by a user pulling on the shuttle displacement line. The tensioner provides an opposing counter-force to control the rate of shuttle displacement. The swing training assembly may also include body positioning limits to maintain proper body alignment while the user pulls on the shuttle displacement line.

Abstract: A force sensor is provided for mounting on an outside lateral surface of a golf club grip to alert a user when an excessive manual grasping force is applied to the grip during a golf swing.

Abstract: A hinge assembly for a knee brace includes a screw seat, a screw seat gear, an adjustment screw, a condyle engagement member, and an adjustment actuator gear. The screw seat has a bore with an internal thread. The screw seat gear is positioned at an end of the screw seat and the screw seat rotates in response to rotation of the screw seat gear. The adjustment actuator gear engages the screw seat gear and the screw seat gear rotates in response to rotation of the adjustment actuator gear. The adjustment screw has an external thread that is threaded into the internal thread of the screw seat, thereby enabling outward or inward telescoping of the adjustment screw within the bore in response to rotation of the adjustment actuator gear.

Abstract: A frame is provided for an orthopedic brace having a frame assembly and an opposing frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a first longitudinal support and a second longitudinal support rotatably connected by a rotational hinge. The opposing frame assembly includes a first opposing longitudinal support and a second opposing longitudinal support rotatably connected by an opposing rotational hinge. The first longitudinal support has a greater degree of flexibility than the first opposing longitudinal support and/or the second longitudinal support has a greater degree of flexibility than the second opposing longitudinal support to enhance the fit of the frame with the body of a user.
