ABSTRACT:
An exercise device for elderly and handicapped persons having J-shaped pedal bars pivotally mounted to a frame. Pedal bars terminate in foot pedals extending perpendicularly outwardly from the pedal bars and move in a substantially linear back-and-forth type motion. A cord fastened at each end to a pedal bar runs through a pulley on the frame to force pedals directions opposite to one another. A shock absorbing bumper prevents damage to the pulley from repeated impacts of the pedal bars. Arms terminating in handles are provided as extensions perpendicularly outwardly from the pedal bars and operate in unison with the pedal bars. A brake is held in pressed contact with the pedal bars by a knob tightened spring to provide adjustable resistance to pedal motion. The device can be used with one or both person's legs and with or without the assistance of the person's hands.
