ABSTRACT:
An exercise machine for elderly or handicapped people includes left and right exercise mechanisms which are substantially identical. Each exercise mechanism includes an adjustable handle assembly which is connected to an adjustable friction mechanism. Each exercise mechanism also includes a pivotably mounted foot pad which is connected by a linkage mechanism to the respective handle assembly. During use, the person sits on a support such as a chair or bed with the exercise machine in front of him. With his feet resting on the pivotably mounting foot pads, the person pushes and pulls the handle assemblies, either alternately or in unison. This stroking motion causes the foot pads to pivot up and down, thereby stimulating the person's feet and legs by flexing the joints and stretching the muscles.
