Abstract: A rebounding device includes a front member, a rear member, and a junction member releasably coupling the front member and the rear member is disclosed. The junction member enables the front member and the rear member move between a collapsed position and an expanded position, and the front member is movable relative to the rear member during a rocking motion when the junction member is in the expanded position. In one embodiment, the junction member comprises a ratchet gear, a spring-loaded pawl configured to engage the ratchet gear and prevent rotation thereof, and a torsion spring. Application of pressure by a user against the front member causes the front member to move toward the rear member, thereby loading the torsion spring. Removal of the pressure against the front member causes the torsion spring to unload, thereby biasing the front member away from the rear member.

Abstract: A lowering assist device includes first and second track housings, first and second resistance mechanisms, and first and second platforms. Each track housing includes a front face, a rear face, and opposing side faces and further includes an internal shaft and an internal member vertically movable along the internal shaft. Each resistance mechanism is housed within the respective track housing and is configured to provide a biasing force to the respective internal member as the respective internal member moves within the respective track housing. Each platform is mounted to the respective internal members.

Abstract: A method for generating a rebounding motion between a person and a surface includes the steps of providing a rebounding device comprising front and rear members and a spring mechanism therebetween and moving the front member and the rear member toward and away from one another via the spring mechanism.

Abstract: A method for generating a rebounding motion between a person and a surface includes the steps of providing a rebounding device, positioning the rear member against the surface and the front member adjacent to an upper body of the person and the surface, and applying pressure to the rebounding device through the upper body. The rebounding device includes front and rear members having front and rear widths spanning right front and rear side edges and left front and rear side edges and first and second spring mechanisms positioned between the front and rear members. The first and second spring mechanisms are positioned between the right front side edge of the front member and the right rear side edge of the rear member and between the left front side edge of the front member and the left rear side edge of the rear member, respectively.
