ABSTRACT:
A stationary exercise support apparatus for a wheelchair comprises a frame with a pair of horizontal rollers across the frame onto which the wheelchair can be rolled to sit cradled between the rollers. Rotation of the rear wheels of the wheel chair thus drive the rollers while the wheel chair remains stationary on the frame. The wheelchair is held in place by a pair of guide wheels mounted inside the rear wheels of the wheelchair on a support plate behind the rear roller so that the wheelchair is prevented from side to side movement. The wheelchair is held against forward movement off the cradling rollers by a third roller positioned forwardly of the front roller which can be raised and lowered by a handle at one side to a lowered position in a common horizontal plane with the first two rollers in which the wheelchair can roll off the cradled position to a raised position preventing forward movement of the wheelchair.
