| 261 | Device for stretching and yoga | US09689016 | 2000-10-11 | US06368255B1 | 2002-04-09 | Perdita Chan-Rouse |
| An inexpensive, compact and portable device useful for assisting a person to stretch his/her muscles. The device consists of a flexible, inelastic strap having a plurality of large loops disposed along the length of the strap and attached thereto. The loops, preferably of 1-2 inch hemp webbing, are dimensioned to fit over large portions of the body extremities during stretching such as the thigh and/or shoulder. The large size of the loops enables the user to stretch various muscles or groups of muscles without the need for grasping the device. By obviating the need for grasping the device during a stretch, a user can maintain a completely relaxed position during a stretch, employing gravity to provide a stretching force. An advantage of stretching while relaxed is that the user may effortlessly hold the stretch longer, thereby enhancing the benefit of the stretch. | ||||||
| 262 | Gravity-independent constant force resistive exercise unit | US09931142 | 2001-08-16 | US20020025891A1 | 2002-02-28 | Paul E. Colosky JR.; Tara M. Ruttley |
| This invention describes a novel gravity-independent exercise unit designed for use in microgravity, or on the ground, as a means by which to counter muscle atrophy and bone degradation due to disuse or underuse. Modular resistive packs comprising constant torque springs provide constant force opposing the withdrawal of an exercise cable from the device. In addition to uses within the space program, the compact resistive packs of the CFREU allow the unit to be small enough for easy use as a home gym for personal use, or as a supplement for rehabilitation programs. Resistive packs may be changed conveniently out of the CFREU according to the desired exercise regimen. Thus, the resistive packs replace the need for expensive, heavy, and bulky traditional weight plates. The CFREU may be employed by hospitals, rehabilitation and physical therapy clinics, and other related professional businesses. | ||||||
