ABSTRACT:
An exercise aid useful in allowing human subjects with amputations or other infirmities to use standard exercise equipment is described. In one embodiment, the exercise aid has a harness that securely encircles a shoulder of the subject and has a transverse wing that extends towards the other shoulder of the subject. The exercise aid has a sleeve, preferably adjustable, that fits securely around the upper arm and other shoulder of the subject and has an extension directed toward the transverse wing of the harness. The harness and sleeve may be detachably connected by a fastener. Exercise facilitating features, such as rings, are integrated into the sleeve of the exercise device for attachment to standard exercise equipment thus allowing human subjects with amputations or other infirmities the ability to engage in a full range of exercise options in order to prevent, or reverse, muscular atrophy associated with amputation.
