Benefits of technology

[0008]The primarily objective of the present invention is to provide an upper-limb training apparatus that allows a user's two upper limbs to independently

Problems solved by technology

In such case, both the limbs are not properly trained.
Besides, though the resistance module 4 provides the adjustable resistance to the crank 1, it fails to provide different scales of resistance to two upper limbs unequal in motion capability at the same time, th

Abstract

An upper-limb training apparatus allows a user's two upper limbs to independently and actively perform flexion and extension along a round track, so that the user's the two upper limbs can receive proper training, respectively.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Technical Field[0002]The present invention relates to physical training equipments, and more particularly, to a training apparatus for strengthening human upper-limb muscle strength and motion coordination.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]A conventional upper-limb training apparatus is schematically depicted in FIG. 1. In the training apparatus, a crank 1 has its middle portion settled in a base 2 and is allowed to rotate in either direction. Each of two ends of the crank 1 is attached thereto a handle 3 that rotatable around the corresponding end of the crank 1. A resistance module 4 provides an adjustable resistance to rotation movement of the crank 1.[0005]To use the apparatus, a user holds the handles with his / her two hands and exerts a force to rotate the crank 1 so that his / her upper limbs perform alternate flexion and extension following the moving trace of the crank 1.[0006]Due to the limited moving mode of the crank 1, when a user...
