  • Patent number: 11806564
    Abstract: There is described an integrated unweighted gait training system having an unweighting system comprising a computer controller; a gait measurement system in communication with the controller; and a display in communication with the computer controller adapted and configured to provide real-time feedback to a user of the integrated unweighting gait training system. The unweighting system may be a differential air pressure (DAP) unweighting system or a non-DAP unweighting system.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20220059198
    Abstract: Systems and methods for management and scheduling of differential air pressure (DAP) and other unweighted or assisted treatment systems are provided. The methods and systems can include generation of a suggested workout based on matching user data to data of other users sharing similar characteristics using an aggregate database of user information and related workout information. The methods and systems can include matching a user to an available and/or appropriate DAP system. Also provided are methods and systems including performing a workout and uploading performance information to an aggregate database of user information.

  • Patent number: 9517390
    Abstract: A practice hockey puck locker which is mounted on an upstanding wall member. The locker includes a first upstanding first rectangular tube, having open upper and lower ends, a second tubular member, having upper and lower ends, extending downwardly from the lower end of the first tubular member and a third tubular member, having upper and lower ends, extending downwardly from the lower end of the third tubular member. A puck dispenser housing is secured to the lower end of the third tubular member. A key operated dead bolt is positioned on the dispenser housing which is selectively movable between locked and unlocked positions. When the dead bolt is in the locked position, the pucks cannot be dispensed from the dispenser housing. When the dead bolt is in the unlocked position, the pucks may fall from the lower end of the discharge dispenser.
