USPTO Application #: 20070004568
Title: Ranger: low-friction exercise glider with defined glide hardware and attachments
Abstract: This invention relates to a portable and effective device for exercising extremities of individuals who have suffered from debility. The device is comprised of a rectangular base with a similar rectangular extremity support surface attached to said base. The support surface is attached to said base by mechanical glide hardware. The mechanical glide hardware is comprised such that an individual can place their affected extremity on the support surface and move their extremity with minimal or trace muscle power through a linear, rotating, or arc range of motion.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to a portable and effective device for exercising extremities of individuals who have suffered from debility. The components of the device are comprised such that an individual can place their affected extremity on the device and move their extremity with minimal or trace muscle power through a frictionless or near-frictionless linear, rotating, or arc range of motion. The device may be used to exercise the upper portion of the body including hands, arms, shoulders, and upper torso while in a seated, supine, prone, or side-lying position. Additionally, the device can be used to exercise the lower portion of the body including feet, ankles, knees, hips, and lower torso while in a seated, supine, kneeling, or side-lying position.

[0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art

[0004] There is an abundance of exercise devices available on the market today. Whether large or small, the majority of these devices are designed to create a form of resistance for the purpose of strength training. These devices use metal weights, plastic weights, elastic bands, springs, and gravity to create a resistive force in which an individual works against. These devices are useful for individuals who have ample strength in their upper or lower extremities. However, for those individuals who have suffered from some process of disease or dysfunction (ie, stroke, trauma), a device designed to maximize poor muscle strength has not been found in the prior art. In other words, a device that provides a non-resistant form of exercise.
