  • Patent number: 9427615
    Abstract: A training system includes a panel upon which a plurality of anchors are disposed. The anchors are adapted to connect to the proximal end of a resistance line, the distal end of each resistance line is attached to a user training a specific movement. The system includes a computer in electronic communication with a printer. The computer receives dimensional information for a particular user and instructs a printer to print a sheet. The sheet is adapted to overlay and be held by the panel. The anchors are accessible through the sheet. The printing on the sheet contains indication for the user of groupings of anchors to which to attach resistance lines to train a particular sport-specific movement. In an alternate embodiment, the computer is in electronic communication with a projector. The computer receives dimensional information for a particular user and instructs the projector to project a display on the panel.

  • Publication number: 20150231469
    Abstract: A training apparatus includes a panel depicting a human form image. The human form image defines an area in which a plurality of anchors are disposed. The anchors are adapted to connect to the proximal end of a resistance line, the distal end each resistance line is attached to a user training a specific movement. Each anchor is located on the human form image at a predetermined location and depicts a body position to be assumed by the user when beginning training. An alternative embodiment apparatus includes a panel with a patterned distribution of anchors. The apparatus includes a sheet adapted to overlay and be held by the panel. The anchors are accessible through the sheet. The sheet contains indication for a user of a particular height dimension of groupings of anchors to which to attach resistance lines to train a particular sport-specific movement.

  • Publication number: 20140005584
    Abstract: A brace for treating knee contractures includes an inner lower arm and an outer lower arm. An arcuate strut connects the lower arms and superposes the posterior calf. The brace includes an inner upper arm and an outer upper arm. A second arcuate strut connects the upper arms and superposes the anterior thigh. A first lockable hinge connects the outer arms. A second hinge connects the inner arms. A first expansion means is situated on the first arcuate strut and is adapted to direct pressure from the strut to the calf. A second expansion means is situated on the second arcuate strut and is adapted to direct pressure from the strut to the front of the thigh. Once the one or more hinges are locked in therapeutic position, the expansion means can be expanded to provide a controlled and progressive additive stretch.
