Abstract: A training shoe for soccer includes a pressure-responsive sensor mounted with respect to a soccer shoe at a selected location, for example at the instep or along the laces at the top of the shoe. When a soccer ball is kicked at the selected location, the sensor provides an electrical signal to a microprocessor, causing selection logic in the microprocessor to choose one of several control words. The selected control word is provided to a voice playback circuit to select one of several digital data sets, each set corresponding to a different sound. The playback circuit provides an analog electrical control signal to a speaker, thereby generating a selected sound corresponding to the selected digital data set. System components can be mounted permanently to a shoe, or to a cover or strap arrangement releasably mounted to the shoe.

Abstract: Disclosed is a wheelchair seat system which may be adapted to fit virtually any wheelchair frame and provides a high degree of adjustability in order to fit virtually any user and to achieve various therapeutically significant functions. Specifically, the wheelchair seat system of the present invention provides a seat which may be raised or lowered, pitched forwardly or rearwardly, rolled to one side or the other, and slide forward or backward to accommodate the wheelchair user's needs. Further, the seat system of the present invention provides for ready adjustments, and, at the same time, provides for easy disengagement and set-up of the seat system when it is desired to fold up the wheelchair for transport or storage.
