ABSTRACT:
This is an electrical stimulating device which is used with an exerciser having bicycle-like pedals to aid people with paralyzed legs. Several miniature magnetic reed switches are mounted in a first and a second semi-circular arrays on a switchboard. The switchboard is placed in a plane parallel to the plane on which the pedals rotate. The pedal carries a permanent magnet which rotates in a plane adjacent to the switches and sequentially activates the reed switches. The activation of the reed switches directs the stimulation pulses from a neuromuscular simulator (NMS) to the patient's quadriceps to effect total extension of the leg.
