ABSTRACT:
An ankle and foot exercise apparatus, in which a structure attached to the lower leg is a base plate having side supports that are attached to a rotatable support arm that is connected to one end of an elastic member, the other end of the elastic member being attached to a strap that encircles the ball of the foot. This elastic member, such as a surgical hose, causes a resistance to foot movement and ankle rotation, and thus the foot and ankle are exercised by moving those body parts against the resistance provided by the surgical hose. The attachment of this exerciser is facilitated by rotating the support arm relative to the side supports about a first bolt that is inserted and locked through a first set of aligned holes in support arm and in the side supports attaching the surgical hose to a rotatable support arm on the base plate. When the rotatable arm is rotated to a down position, this causes a slack in the surgical hose during attachment. When the exerciser is attached, the rotatable support arm is raised and locked by a second bolt inserted and locked through a second set of aligned holes in the support arms and the side supports in the raised position, stressing the surgical hose to its exercise position.
