“For those that are looking to perform core exercises, this device allows you to perform abdominal crunches targeting multiple muscle groups with ease. It offers structure and rigidity with its ergonomic design which helps the end user to maintain proper form. In addition, this device will help to limit bodily injuries caused by improper technique when performing core exercises.”

“I do think this is an intriguing idea. I’ve not seen an exercise aid anything like this and it does enable people to exercise without getting out of their chair or bed. It would be very useful to study just what muscles can be exercised this way and to determine what muscles can’t be and find ways to compensate, to make a complete exercise routine. I am also thinking that maybe stroke victims might be able to use this. It’s a great idea!”

“The preliminary results suggest that the effort required to perform exercises with this device are low indicating that individuals with strength deficits could benefit from using the device. The activation is spread out through most of the upper body aiding an individual who would have a weaker core and abdominal muscles. Finally, with the proper seat height, an individual with mobility issues could possibly benefit from using this device to strengthen their abdominal and upper body muscles.”

Comparison of percent activation with and without the exercise device for knees to chest lying down.
Further analysis would need to be conducted to determine statistical significance.
