ABSTRACT:
Hip and knee joint exercising apparatus (100,, 300) are adapted for use by a patient (218) to exercise selective muscle/skeletal groups in the hip, upper leg, knee and lower leg regions. The exercise apparatus (100, 300) include rectangular bases (102, 302) having cushions (104, 304) mounted thereon, In the hip joint exercising apparatus (100), an exercise bar assembly (112) is pivotably coupled to the base (102) and cushion (104) and includes an elongated outer tube (126) with a power slide (134) having a friction mounting on the tube (126). In the knee joint exercising apparatus (300), an exercise bar assembly (326) is pivotably coupled to a pair of tubular bars (308) extending downwardly from the base (302). In each exercising apparatus, a saddle assembly (138, 338) is mounted to the respective power slide (134, 334) so as to be slidable therewith with respect to the outer tube (126, 328). Force measuring mechanisms (128, 362) are coupled to the tubes (126, 328) so as to measure external forces exerted by the patient (218) in moving the tubes (126, 328) relative to handle rods (126, 328) partially received within the tubes (126, 128).
