Definitions

  • the present invention relates to therapeutic or exercise devices and in particular to rehabilitation devices for assisting a user to maintain or improve range of motion, particularly following injury or surgery and for low impact exercise.
  • Exercise machines in general are well-known. There are a large number of different machines for exercising different muscles of the body.
  • One such known device is constructed such that the exerciser lies on the floor in a supine position, with their head and shoulders supported by a padded member.
  • the padded member is attached to two ground bearing members which are circular in shape and are adapted to provide a rocking motion. The exerciser holds the two ground bearing members and utilising their abdominal muscles, rocks their head and shoulders forward and backward within the machine.
  • Another method of exercise that is well known employs a large ball, sometimes called a Fit Ball, that is placed between a user's back and a vertical surface, such as a wall.
  • the user assumes a squat position and pushes against the ball with his legs and back.
  • the exercise requires the individual to apply sufficient pressure to prevent the ball from dropping through the application of pressure, while using their legs to move the ball for receipt of the exercise effect. Should the ball fall or otherwise loss contact, the individual could injure themself if their physical aliment was of a type that would not allow for sudden movements.
  • a larger ball may be used on the floor or the like horizontal surface. As the ball rolls about the surface, the user maintains contact by flexing muscles and the skeleton. In this embodiment, the individual may sit on the ball wherein muscle exercise maintains the individual in an upright position providing spine movement and associated flex movement. The ability for an individual to maintain a position on the ball depends on their balance since the curvature of the ball requires balance at the base and apex of where the individual is situated. If an individual employs the ball to work the back, movement of the ball is necessary. However, excess movement may cause the individual to fall of the ball defeating any beneficial effects.
  • Another apparatus is a simulated ski or skate slide.
  • This apparatus includes a slide mat and a pair of slide “booties”.
  • the mat is an easy-glide polyethylene surface for a smooth, consistent lateral motion workout.
  • the slide surface length is adjustable to approximately 2.5 m by 55 cm wide, for all fitness levels and training goals—cardiovascular, sprint and endurance training.
  • the slide mat rolls up for storage or transporting.
  • the booties are limited as they can only be used on a user's feet.
  • the present invention is directed to a therapeutic or exercise apparatus, which may at least partially overcome at least one of the abovementioned disadvantages or provide the consumer with a useful or commercial choice.
  • the invention resides in an apparatus for use as an exercise or therapeutic apparatus, the apparatus comprising a first and at least one second slidable element, each of the slidable elements having at least one reduced friction sliding surface, wherein the reduced friction sliding surface of the first element slides over the of the reduced friction sliding surface of the at least one second element during exercise or therapy.
  • the apparatus according to this aspect of the invention is adapted for use as an exercise or therapeutic apparatus.
  • the apparatus may be used for either or both exercise or therapy depending upon the needs of the user.
  • the difference between using the apparatus for therapy or exercise may preferably depend on the intensity of the activity.
  • the apparatus may ideally be used for low impact activity due to the reduction in friction force between the slidable elements when the apparatus is used.
  • the apparatus comprises a first and at least one second slidable element.
  • the first element will generally take the form of a mat or substantially planar member.
  • the mat may suitably possess a substantially non-slip (or low-slip) rear surface opposed to the reduced friction (front) surface.
  • the mat may be approximately 1 m by 1 m to allow an average sized person sufficient room to perform exercises on or using the mat. It is to be appreciated that the mat may be larger or smaller as suited to the user, the exercise requirement or the space in which the apparatus is to be used.
  • the mat may generally be placed adjacent a surface such as a wall, bed, table or floor, such that the surface bears the weight of the mat together with any weight force applied by the user during the activity.
  • the non-slip rear surface may be placed adjacent the support surface and allow the first element to be maintained in position due to its non-slip characteristics.
  • the When used in conjunction with a door or wall, the may be suspended from an upper portion of the door or wall either by laying a portion of the mat over the door for example or using appropriate suspension means for suspending the first element adjacent the surface.
  • the mat may be padded to provide additional comfort to the user when using the apparatus.
  • the padding may suitably be provided between the rear surface and the front, sliding surface.
  • the padding may be attached to either, both or neither of the rear surface and the front, sliding surface.
  • the rear surface may be attached to the front, sliding surface to enclose the padding.
