Abstract: A rack exercise system (30), according to the invention, having a main support frame (38), two upright support racks (42), a base frame, and a floor unit (36), for conditioning in three-dimensions using a mobile support (32) such as a Swiss ball. The rack excerise system is a multi-capability platform, or anchoring system that, in conjunction with the Swiss ball, allows an exercise or rehabilitation professional or an exercise enthusiast to fully express their creativity in exercise design, and selection.

Abstract: This invention is both preventive and corrective of a running athlete's muscle strength imbalances of the leg, hip, and back; facilitating specific rehabilitation of associated muscle injury. The sandal-like upper construction employs a special underside structure supportive of a flapper type hydro-resistance device having a special one-way drag-action. Since temperate water presents a constant given drag-factor, the user or therapist may readily readjust the extendable sole-flapper's induced hydro-drag length to suit particular therapy needs, and the capability of a given user. Additionally, the invention is constructed with special longitudinal-fin like risers, enabling user to walk upon a pool bottom without imposing scuffing damage to scuff-prone pool surfaces.

Abstract: A specialized hand-portable device for use by a medical-technician in measuring the amount of head fore/aft-deviation from a "standardized norm" reference-point (manubrium of sternum). Configured in the form of an inverted T-shape, the vertical body portion of which serves as a common stanchion, including a horizontal lower scale-beam member having a sternal-probe. The vertical stanchion is adjustable fore/aft relative to the chest sternum; the probe's tip entity being shaped to lay naturally against one's sternal-notch. The upper portion of the stanchion includes a vertically adjustable second horizontal-probe member, the tip-rest thereof being formed to lightly impinge upon the zygomatic-arch region of one's face. The instrument is intitially set to "zero" on the sternal/reference-scale, which precalibration adheres to an "ideal norm" of reference, while leveling to a visual sight-bubble.
