  • Patent number: 11298589
    Abstract: A training device is provided for training a foot using the device. The training device includes a fulcrum placed at a center and four projections that project in different directions from the fulcrum. Each of the four projections have elastic members that are bendable. The training device is configured to improve foot muscle strength by bending and stretching the elastic members. At least two of the four projections have different degrees of elasticity in flexure as determined when a force is applied to a distal end of each of the at least two projections to bend the elastic members. The four projections project in cross directions from the fulcrum at the center. Each pair of projections that oppose each other across the fulcrum are arranged on a straight line.

  • Patent number: 10188540
    Abstract: Provided is a sacroiliac belt having a high holding ability for a user's pelvis as well as a high tightening effect to the user's sacroiliac joints. The sacroiliac belt has a belt pair that forms a pelvic holding loop to hold a user's pelvis. The belt pair has a ilium belt that is wound around the user's waist, and a second belt selected from either a buttock belt that is wound around the user's waist passing under the user's buttocks, lifting up the buttocks, or a lumbar belt that is wound around the user's waist, passing a back side of the user's lumbar curve located immediately above the pelvis. Both ends of the second belt are each connected to the ilium belt inside both ends of the ilium belt.
