The present invention relates to an insole, midsole or unified outsole-midsole-insole device for use with an article of footwear, displaying significant improvement over conventional similar insole type products through its ability to offer to the wearer an adjustable biofeedback component for the rehabilitation and strengthening of the foot's muscles, as well as an adjustable motion control component for the purpose of controlling the pronation and arch deflection of the human foot during gait. Through this means wearers of the device gradually strengthen their foot while simultaneously decreasing their dependence on secondary motion control structures.

Exercise apparatuses that may be particularly useful or treating and strengthening connective tissue. For example, apparatuses that may have or be reconfigured to have multiple (e.g., three or more) configurations that are suspended from above by a ceiling or stand. The equipment facilitates the stabilization of the body according to the principle of tensegrity, so that the tension in all movements is omni-directionally coherent, thus creating omni-tensional integrity, which may be helpful in treatment and strengthening of muscular connective tissue (fasciae) in musculoskeletal dynamics, to restore, rebuild, strengthen and regain elasticity within the human fascial network. These apparatuses can support the user at an oblique body angle while the user performs various movements.

A maximum muscle strengthening resistance device provides a way of exercise that allows the exercising person to exert his/her full power throughout the whole time of exercise. When a volume of fluid is forced to pass through a small opening, it produces a resisting force. This invention uses this resistive force produced by the oil flow along with the mechanical force generated by a power unit such as a hydraulic pump or an electric power motor for the resisting force during the strengthening exercises. Most of the muscle strengthening exercise is consisted of consecutive concentric-eccentric exercise cycles. By using this invention, during the concentric exercise cycle the exercising person actively exert his/her full power to move the exercising handle toward the concentric direction against above mentioned resistive force of oil flow. During the eccentric exercise the power unit moves the exercising handle toward the eccentric direction and the exercising person attempts to stop the movement by exerting his/her full power. The amount of the force exerted by the exercising person during the concentric-eccentric cycle is displayed on the monitor screen for monitoring.

The present invention relates to a device allowing an embracive and active multi-exercise in a joint and muscle strengthening to have more advantages in a rehabilitation exercise in a state that users (hemiplegic stroke patients, disabled, patients and other users needing an upper limbs rehabilitation exercise) needing a rehabilitation exercise with respect to limbs (a shoulder, an arm, a wrist and the like) sit on a chair (a wheelchair, a chair for treatment, a general chair or the like) and raise arms. A multi-upper limb muscle rehabilitation exercise device of the present invention comprises: (2) a liftable table adjustment unit adjusting an entire rehabilitation unit in consideration of user characteristics in a state that a user sits on a chair or a wheel chair; (3) a left and right arm adjustment unit allowing an arm part to independently move in order to provide an environment capable of setting a limb part of a hemiparalysis patient or a rehabilitation patient to an optimal location on an upper end of (2) the liftable table adjustment unit; (4) a wrist and hand joint muscular strength increasing unit capable of preponderantly and independently curing a wrist and a hand joint and performing a rehabilitation with respect to the wrist and the hand joint on an one side of (3) the left and right arm adjustment unit; and (5) a diagnosis measurement displaying unit capable of performing a check with respect to a therapy patient or a rehabilitation patient by combining a dementia test or an aptitude test to selectively apply.

The present invention features a a muscle strengthening exerciser to be worn at specific parts of the body. This inventive muscle strengthening body frame apparatus can be worn on isolated body parts as non-apparel items for direct longitudinal resistive forces exerted on the body part of the wearer during movement. The apparatus comprises a frame assembly consisting of a first and second portions which are joined together by a resistance bar. The resistance bar provides the resistive forces providing muscular activity to adjacent body parts.
