Abstract
A device for training and rehabilitation of a limb is provided. The device provides a board with an ability to magnetically levitate a movement base above the board to allow for controlled movement of a limb or other body part of a user needing training and rehabilitation in various directions.
Claims17
A device, comprising:
- a board comprising:
- a base comprising a first magnet;
- and
- a plurality of magnets operable to have a same polarity as a polarity of the first magnet such that the first magnet is repelled from at least one of the magnets to levitate the base from the board, the magnets positioned along the board to define a movement path of the base that replicates a body motion;
- and
- a track connected to or integral with the board and having opposing walls, wherein the magnets are arranged along a length of the track.
3 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a board comprising:
- a base comprising:
- a first magnet;
- and
- an upright shaft disposed at a distal end of the base and rotatable along a lengthwise axis of the base to provide internal and external rotation for a shoulder of an arm being stabilized thereon;
- and
- a plurality of magnets operable to have a same polarity as a polarity of the first magnet such that the first magnet is repelled from at least one of the magnets to levitate the base from the board, the magnets positioned along the board to define a movement path of the base that replicates a body motion.
4 more elements
A device, comprising:
- a board connected on at least one edge to a table, extending away from the table, and comprising:
- a base comprising a first magnet;
- and
- a plurality of magnets operable to have a same polarity as a polarity of the first magnet such that the first magnet is repelled from at least one of the magnets to levitate the base from the board, the magnets positioned along the board to define a movement path of the base that replicates a body motion.
