ABSTRACT:
A multi-mode physiotherapy foot manipulating device, in accordance with the preferred embodiments, is comprised of a portable unit that may be strapped onto the foot of a bed, table, or the like, and which produces manipulative treatments through the use of oscillating pivotal movements of pedal-like foot supports via a crank arrangement driven by a reversible electric motor. Operation of the motor in one direction will produce simultaneous dorsiflexion of both feet in unison, while reversing of the motor operation will produce a changeover into an alternating pedaling movement of the feet. In accordance with another feature, spring biased roller arms can be provided for massaging of the soles of the feet, openings being provided in foot supports of the device through which rollers on the ends of lever arms are displaced into engagement with the sole of a foot thereon under the force exerted by a spring connected between the base of the device and the lever arm.
