Abstract: Spinal exercising apparatus, also referred to as a spinal exercising table, is arranged to support a person, while he or she applies forces, via his or her head, as his or her body is actively supported on an angularly adjustable table, movably positioned and then selectively secured on a frame to then be above floor level. Pivotally secured to the frame adjacent an end of the table is a resistive force mechanism to receive his or her head applied forces and to then provide a substantially uniform opposing force throughout a selected range of arcuate exercising motions, which result in a person being able to completely and thoroughly exercise his or her entire spine. Optionally, other apparatus is secured to the frame and/or table to serve the person in performing other exercises, to accomplish, if desired, a total body workout.

Abstract: The present invention relates to orthopedic equipment and more particularly to a splint for mobilizing an upper limb, which comprises a vertical framework supporting, in its upper part, a brachial cradle articulated about a horizontal geometrical axis, intended substantially to coincide with the scapulo-humeral joint of the upper limb, and which is connected to the framework by a drive member capable of pivoting the cradle about said axis in movements of abduction/adduction with respect to the framework, said cradle being provided with an adjustable axial extension bearing a bent bar whose part substantially parallel to the extension supports an adjustable antebrachial splint. The invention is applicable to the functional reeducation of the scapulo-humeral joint.

Abstract: A toe-articulated stilt is described wherein there are three support columns and eight hinges to allow a two piece foot support to control a two piece plate which contacts the ground. Natural feel and lightness allow the wearer to dance and do acrobatics on the toe-articulated stilt.

Abstract: A device is disclosed which may be used by a person in the performance of a variety of exercises. The device includes in a preferred embodiment a substantially rectangular member pivotally joined together with an elongated member at respective ends thereof. The rectangular member is designed to be placed under a mattress so as to be retained thereunder by frictional forces as well as by the weight of the mattress. An L-shaped locking member is slidably mounted on the elongated member and locks on the underside of the box spring to retain the device in a secured position. The elongated member further includes an adjustable bar preferably cantilevered in configuration which may be gripped by the hands or restrain the feet of the user in the performance of various exercises and further includes structure for displaying a variety of information. When the device is being used for exercising, the two members are pivoted to form about a 90.degree.

Abstract: In a "bicycle" type exerciser in which a wheel on which a tire is mounted is supported for rotation off of the ground between two spaced legs of a fork, and a tension device is mounted to apply a selected braking force to the wheel, a head plate extending between and secured to the fork legs above the wheel has at its lower edge an outturned lip. A down tube is secured at its upper end to the head plate and extends downwardly from a position above the wheel in a direction rearwardly away from the wheel. A yoke, U-shaped in plan view, has two arms embracing the down tube and a bridging section between them at one end of the arms extending across the down tube. A tension wheel is mounted between the arms at their free ends. Each of the arms has a knuckle member engaging the lip of the head plate to form a hinge connection.
