ABSTRACT:
A physical therapy rehabilitation system for the legs, ankles and feet utilizes an inclined plane that has a torso-supporting platform on it which preferably slides up and down along the incline. At the lower end of the incline plane are attachments that permit the user to exercise the feet, ankles, calf muscles, knees, and other muscles in the lower extremities. One accessory comprises a wobble plate to permit rotation of the ankle in a controlled manner, and another permits plantarflexion. The inclined plane on which the patient's torso is supported is angularly adjustable so that varying proportions of the patient's body weight can be applied to the lower extremity that is being rehabilitated.
