  • Publication number: 20070298935
    Abstract: A crank device comprising foot supports with means for controlling stability and angle relative to the motion. There are linkages for stabilising and keeping a correct angle relative to an apparatus frame during a full rotation. The foot supporting means have also means for adjusting the angle to create a toe-heel tilt. The foot supporting means in form of platforms have optional tilt movement with an adjustable mechanism, the movement transverse the stepping motion, for utilising proprioseptive training and exercise.

  • Publication number: 20070072744
    Abstract: Training apparatus for physical exercise, preventive exercise and rehabilitation of injuries and increased balance, the apparatus designed as a stationary exercise bicycle, similar to ergometer bikes or spinning bikes. The apparatus consist of a first lower stable frame configured to be supported on a floor and a second upper frame tiltable relative to the lower frame. The upper frame has an adjustable tilt movement relative the lower frame crosswise the flywheel's revolving motion. A steering gear is guided through the upper frame where a prolonged part of the steering gear is in contact with the floor, the part having a wheel suspension like design, consisting of barlinks, dampers, springs and wheels. Stabilizing of the upper frame is done by movement of the steering gear.

  • Publication number: 20070028717
    Abstract: A pedal device for rotatable attachment to a crank arm, wherein the pedal has a pedal body with engagement sides which each have a bracket adapted for possible engagement with a functional part designed for cooperation with a user's foot. One of the engagement sides of the pedal body has a first bracket adapted to a fastening piece for the functional part for use during the performance of conventional training exercise. The opposite engagement side of the pedal body has a second bracket adapted to said fastening piece for the functional part for limited tiltability about an axis that extends transverse to the longitudinal axis of the pedal shaft. The functional part may be a shoe or a foot engagement part, e.g., a foot plate.

  • Publication number: 20060172862
    Abstract: A physical exercise apparatus equipped with upwardly and downwardly movable bars on which footrest platforms are mounted, and having grip poles that are fixed or movable as part of an exercise, wherein the platforms are tiltable to both sides transverse to an axis that extends along the length of the bars. The platforms each have a tilting mechanism that is steplessly or stepwise adjustable from a locked position to a tilting function state, and the platforms have a means for engagement with a guide track and/or articulated arms that are fastened to the fitness apparatus frame, whereby the platform is cause to be slidably guidable along the bars, and that the movement is a function of the vertical movement of the bars.
