ABSTRACT:
A knee bending device for patients having stiff legs comprises a chair having a tubular metal frame supporting a seat, back support and arm rests. A U-shaped stirrup having two parallel limbs and a connecting central bar has its limbs pivotally mounted at respective arm rests so that the free ends of the limbs extend above the arm rests to form levers by which a patient seated in the chair can swing the stirrup back and forth with his hands. As the levers are pressed forward, the connecting bar moves rearwardly to contact the top of the patient's foot. Further forward movement of the levers will result in the patient's foot being pressed back to bend his leg at the knee.
