ABSTRACT:
A knee rehabilitation device is provided and includes a base, a pair of elongated posts extending upwardly from the base and having opposite upper and lower ends, and an upper and lower restraint each having opposite sides releasably secured to the pair of posts. The posts have a plurality of holes extending along the length thereof. Each side of each restraint has a threaded aperture therein. Threaded shafts extend through one of the holes along the posts and are threadably received in the apertures of the restraints, such that the spacing between the upper and lower restraints is selectively adjustable, thereby selectively limiting the degree of movement of a person's leg between the upper and lower restraints. The restraints are also pivotal about the axis of the shafts so that the restraints can be positioned substantially parallel to the person's leg when the leg engages the restraint.
