ABSTRACT:
A knee stretching machine for physical therapy of the knee is set forth wherein a padded thigh seat is adjustably attached aft on a body length shaft oriented on the floor. Attached across the body length shaft is a transverse member with an eyelet at each end. A winch is secured to the fore of the body length shaft. Aft and in front of the winch are two other eyelets for receiving two ropes. One of the ropes is connected to an ankle collar via the eyelet on one end of the transverse member and the other rope is independently connected to the ankle collar via the eyelet on the other end of the transverse member. A patient lies face down and places the thigh of the knee requiring therapy in the seat and secures the ankle in the collar. The winch is cranked to bend the knee joint behind the patient's back through a tolerable degree of flexion.
