Abstract

A stance forcing device has a resistance band threaded through a hollow tubular member. Then a first cuff member has an end of the resistance band attached thereto. A second cuff member is attached to the other end of the resistance band. The system has a first padding device attached to the hollow tubular member as well as a second padding device attached to the hollow tubular member. The system has a first cuff member with Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a user's leg. The first cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for leg attachment. The system has a second cuff member with Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a user's leg. The second cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for a leg attachment.

Claims (35)

1. A stance forcing device comprising:

a resistance band;

a hollow tubular member having the resistance band threaded there thru, the tubular member having a first flange at a first end portion and a second flange at a second end portion, the first and second flanges cooperating with the ends of the resistance band to maintain the resistance band in the tubular member;

a first cuff member having an end of the resistance band attached thereto;

a second cuff member attached to the other end of the resistance band;

a first padding member located between the first flange and the first cuff member to protect a first leg of a user; and

a second padding member located between the second flange and the second cuff member to protect a second leg of the user.

2. The stance forcing device of claim 1 , wherein the first cuff member has Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a leg of a user.

3. The stance forcing device of claim 2 , wherein the first cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for leg attachment.

4. The stance forcing device of claim 1 wherein the second cuff member has Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a leg of a user.

5. The stance forcing device of claim 4 , wherein the second cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for a leg attachment.

6. A stance forcing device comprising:

a resistance band;

a hollow tubular member having the resistance band threaded there thru and further having first and second discs located at opposite end portions of the hollow tubular member;

a first padding device positioned on the hollow tubular member on a central inner axis of the hollow tubular member and adjacent to the first disc;

a second padding device positioned on the hollow tubular member on a central inner axis of the hollow tubular member and adjacent to the second disc;

a third padding device positioned on the hollow tubular member on an outside region of the first disc and held in place by a sheath covering about the first and third padding devices and the first disc; and

a fourth padding device positioned on the hollow tubular member on an outside region of the second disc and held in place by a sheath covering about the second and fourth padding devices and the second disc.

7. The stance forcing device of claim 6 , further comprising:

a first cuff member having an end of the resistance band attached thereto.

8. The stance forcing device of claim 7 , further comprising:

a second cuff member attached to the other end of the resistance band.

9. The stance forcing device of claim 7 , wherein the first cuff member has Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a leg of a user.

10. The stance forcing device of claim 9 , wherein the first cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for leg attachment.

11. The stance forcing device of claim 8 , wherein the second cuff member has Velcro material for attachment of the stance forcing device to a leg of a user.

12. The stance forcing device of claim 11 , wherein the second cuff member has a metallic hoop attachment to thread a piece of material for a leg attachment.

13. A stance forcing device comprising:

a resistance band;

a hollow tubular member having the resistance band threaded there thru and further having two discs integral with the hollow tubular member and at opposite ends of the hollow tubular member;

a first padding device attached to the hollow tubular member on a central inner axis of the hollow tubular member and adjacent to one of the discs;

a second padding device attached to the hollow tubular member on a central inner axis of the hollow tubular member and adjacent to the other one of the discs;

a third and fourth padding device attached to the hollow tubular member one on each outside region of the two discs and held in place by a leather sheath covering about one set of inner and outer padding devices and associated disc on each side of the tubular member.

14. The stance forcing device of claim 13 , further comprising:

a first cuff member attached to one end of the resistance band;

a second cuff member attached to the other end of the resistance band wherein the cuff members have Velcro attachment devices for attachment of the cuff members to legs of a user.
