Abstract
An apparatus (100) for back improvement and lower-back pain and knees relieving, the apparatus comprising for each foot of a user, including a pedal (40) shiftable along a linear axis, for allowing a foot of the user to exert force on the pedal (40), a sensor (18), for continuously sensing a force exerted on the pedal (40) by the foot, a mechanism for exerting resistance force on the pedal, and a controller (10) for reading a sensing of the sensor, the controller being adapted to instruct the mechanism to exert continuous resistance force on the pedal such that the pedal submits to the foot.
Claims14
An apparatus (100) for back improvement and lower-back and knees pain relieving, the apparatus comprising for each foot of a user:
- a linear actuator (20) having a longitudinal bore (14) in a piston (34) thereof;
- a shaft (36) shiftable in said bore (14);
- a pedal (40) connected to said shaft (36);
- a spring (38), disposed between said piston (34) and said pedal (40), for objecting to shift said pedal towards said piston;
- a sensor (18), for measuring a force exerted on said pedal (40) by a foot of said user;
- a controller (10) in communication with said sensor (18) for obtaining from said sensor said force, said controller adapted to instruct said linear actuator to move said piston (34) away from said pedal (40) when said force exceeds a first threshold, and retract said piston back when said force drops under a second threshold;
- and
- a first joint (26), for connecting said linear actuator (20) to a vertical support (24), and fixing said linear actuator thereto.
An apparatus (100) for back improvement and lower-back and knees pain relieving, the apparatus comprising for each foot of a user:
- a pedal (40) shiftable along a linear axis, for allowing a foot of said user to exert force on said pedal (40);
- a sensor (18), for continuously sensing a force exerted on said pedal (40) by said foot;
- a mechanism for exerting resistance force on said pedal;
- and
- a controller (10) reading a sensing of said sensor, said controller being adapted to instruct said mechanism to exert continuous resistance force on said pedal such that said pedal submits to said foot.
