ABSTRACT:
A muscular rehabilitation apparatus for exercising human body appendages through multiple geometric positions of the appendage with respect to the body including a support position with a curved track adjustably mounted with respect to a base and supported by the base. The track defines an arcuate path which tracks the outer extremity of a human appendage as it pivots about a joint, such as for example the movement of a hand at the end of an outstretched arm as the arm pivots at the shoulder. Another example includes the pivotal movement of a leg about the hip wherein the curved track follows the movement of the foot. A carriage is mounted to move upon the track between the end portions of the track and forms a connection between the appendage extremity such as for example, the hand or the foot with the track. The universal adjustment between the curved track and the support base allows an almost endless degree of adjustment so that the entire muscular group associated with a particular appendage can be fully developed.
