Problems solved by technology

These systems are often bulky and costly due to the redundancy of structural elements between the treadmill and the hermetic enclosure, and due to the high cost of transporting such bulky systems
Such systems are also difficult to maintain, as service of the encapsulated treadmill must be accomplished within the confines of the airtight enclosure or by dismantling the enclosure
In addition, existing systems often have jump heights in excess of 8 inches, making it difficult for less able users to access without the use of separate auxiliary steps

Embodiment Construction

[0185] Exemplary DAP systems, components, and operations are shown and described in US Patent No. 7,591,795, US Patent Application Publication No. US-2011-0098615-A1, and US Patent No. 8,464,716. Commercially available models AlterG P200 and M320 are typical of existing DAP systems designed for physical therapists and athletic trainers. These systems include an exercise device—typically a treadmill, a flexible bag that applies air pressure to the user's lower body, an airtight garment that interfaces between the flexible bag and the user, and a device for setting the height of the top surface of the bag to accommodate users of different heights height-adjustable cabin structure.

[0186] Aspects of various embodiments of the invention described herein generally relate to systems and methods for collecting and analyzing data to assist in scheduling and managing therapeutic and diagnostic information provided by assisted training systems, such as bariatric systems, and other per...

Abstract

A differential air pressure system has a pressure bag with windows and preferred folding configuration such that when the bag is folded no window is folded. The pressure bag is supported by a lift support that is proximal to a user control panel and adjacent to or nearly adjacent to the user who is coupled to the pressure bag. A treadmill base for use with differential air pressure equipment is provided. There are various improvements provided to adapt the operations of the DAP system via the use of separate pressure volume and non- pressure volume portions of the treadmill base. Various improvements to serviceability and repairs are provided by placement of components outside of the pressure volume portion or by providing one or more pressure volume access points.
