ABSTRACT:
An exercise and physical therapy device for a human anatomical part (e.g. a foot and ankle) includes a support. An adjustable, resilient torsion device, capable of both twisting and bending motion, has one end affixed to the support; an engagement member, for engagement with a human anatomical part, is mounted on the other end of the torsion device. In one embodiment the support is pivotally mounted on a base plate, and an elevating latch mechanism latches the support at one of several angular positions relative to the base plate. In another embodiment the support constitutes the base of the device and a plurality of bumpers mounted on the support limit angular deflection of the engagement member relative to the support.
