Abstract: An apparatus for cognitive and physical training has a figure-eight walking course with both or alternate inner and outer borders. Adjustable rails inside and outside the course assist rehabilitation. Gates in outer rails admit users to the course. Oppositely swinging gates at a center of course between the two loops provide supported direction from one course loop to another. The course may include a knockdown and portable track. Coordinated walking with bodily rotation and turning is promoted by a single off course focus point in a plane through the center separating the two loops. Increased motor, sensory, cognitive and other challenges are added to the walking, turning and lateral rotation. Also disclosed is a sensory-motor game and method of playing the game, which also employs a figure-eight course.

Abstract: An exercise device includes two foot carriage assemblies. The foot carriage assemblies are operable to support a user's feet on a frame and to travel along a generally lateral path of motion. The foot carriages are operable to engage first and second torque tubes, which in turn participate in resisting the lateral movement of the foot carriages. A lateral striding motion on the exercise device may include a simulation of a motion associated with skating and/or skiing.
