Multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) muscle training machine

Abstract

A MDOF muscle training machine is provided in the present invention. The training machine has multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) being able to be set by users to make various cyclic motions with respect to various groups of muscle to be trained. The training machine comprises an adjustable frame and a cyclic motion device. The adjustable frame has MDOF being able to be adjusted with respect to the various cyclic motions. The cyclic motion device is assembled on the adjustable frame. The adjustable frame can be adjusted to decide a specific position of the cyclic motion device with respect to specific groups of muscle. Both arms (legs) of the user are constrained by the cyclic motion device. The user has to coordinate the specific groups of muscle to drive the cyclic motion device.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001](1) Field of the Invention[0002]This invention relates to a muscle training machine, and more particularly to a multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) muscle training machine.[0003](2) Description of the Prior Art[0004]It is a common sense to visit a doctor for sickness. However, a great amount of out-patient therapies, especially some rehabilitation recipes, advised by the doctor can depend only on the patient himself / herself. Usually, the rehabilitation recipes relating to a specific muscle need the patient to frequently rehabilitate or train this muscle in order to recovery. For example, office workers usually keep some working positions for office hours. Therefore, some muscle groups may be over-exercised and some may be under-exercised. It may induce tingling at the beginning, but may grow into a deep pain for long-term overlooking. Such an occupational injury cannot be simply cured by medication. Adequate muscle training is generally required for revit...
