Benefits of technology

[0006] The present invention, thus, proposes a method and apparatus, wherein the mechanical complexity of currently known devices is largely avoided so as to essentially simplify the method and apparatus and enable the understanding by the person exercising by a minimu

Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, it needs explanation and very often is misunderstood or misinterpreted by the person considered.
This may lead to erroneous demands on the circulatory system or to counter-indicated results.
In particular, constant loads may result in undesirable collateral effects or even damage.
These measurements have to be correlated and adjusted by complex medical equations, which frequently are not understood by the person exercising, and therefore induce to errors.
These devices are inadequate to train stabilizer muscles which are recruited at lesser loads.
Furthermore, currently known devices such as rowing ergometers necessitate a relatively high and complex mechanical design comprising a fly

Embodiment Construction

[0028] While the present invention will be described with reference to a few specific embodiments, the description is illustrative of the invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention. Various modifications to the present invention can be made to the preferred embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. It will be noted here that for a better understanding, like components are designated by like reference numerals throughout the various figures.

[0029] The device according to the invention comprises a base 1 with a bearing structure 2. A crank 5 is pivoted on this bearing structure 2 by means of a bearing 3. The crank may be a pair of pedals or a double lever hand crank. Pedals or handles 4 are pivoted at the free ends of the crank 5. These pedals or handles may be provided with well known retention buckles.

Abstract

Method and apparatus for controlling movement patterns in repetitive movements, in particular in cyclical or alternating movements defined by the parameters of the amplitude and frequency of the movement, in which these parameters are correlated with the mean velocity of a body effectively or fictively driven forward by the movement as well as a device for realizing the method.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of International Application No. PCT / EP2005 / 010076, entitled “METHOD AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING RECURRENT MOVEMENTS” by Korfmacher and filed Sep. 19, 2005, which in turn claims priority from German Patent Application No. DE102004045140, entitled same and filed Sep. 19, 2004, both of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety and for all purposes.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention is related to a method for controlling movement patterns in repetitive movements, in particular in cyclical or alternating movements defined by the parameters of the amplitude (A) and frequency (F) of the movement, as well as a device for realizing the method. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Such method are well known in training or therapy devices in the form of bicycle or rowing devices (ergometers) where the person concerned is obliged to exercise against (a) resistance or depending on his pulse m...
