Abstract: A stabilizing device comprises a flexible member coupled at one end to a handgrip and at the other end to a retraction mechanism, which tends to urge the flexible member in a retraction direction. The retraction mechanism may operate linearly or rotationally. A user is stabilized by grasping and pulling the handgrip in an extension direction opposite the retraction direction.

Abstract: An apparatus for massaging toes having a plurality of massaging fingers which provide the massaging effect on and between the toes of a user. The massaging fingers are powered by a drive mechanism means, such as an electric motor and a motion transfer apparatus.
