  • Patent number: 5643154
    Abstract: A device designed for use on land solely as a rehabilitative balance board apparatus and in water (e.g., a swimming pool) as a rehabilitation and/or fitness apparatus. The invention may be used terrestrially as a proprioception (balance) board and aquatically as a kickboard, as a proprioception (balance) board, and/or as a general exercise board that provides added resistance and/or buoyancy for the exerciser.

  • Patent number: 5490823
    Abstract: A water fitness, exercise and therapy system designed with an elastic tether (17) connected via pulley assembly (16) to shoe (31). The combination provides fitness training in varying depths of water (e.g. running, swimming, and therapeutic exercises). The present invention includes an adjustable buoyancy bladder attached to or constructed within the sole of the shoe where the bladder does not extend so as to interfere with normal running motions. The user expends energy by moving through the water and by stretching the tether.
