ABSTRACT:
A therapy device for conducting rehabilitative exercises that includes a base having a receptacle. A standard is capable of being positioned in the receptacle in a substantially vertical position and has a plurality of adjustable arms slidably mounted on it. A locking mechanism is used to secure the standard in the vertical position. Each arm has means for being slidably mounted to the standard and a locking mechanism for fixing the arm at a height along the vertical, longitudinal axis of the standard. Each arm also includes a fastening means for removably securing occupational therapy exercise items, such as hooks, rings, and other items. The base of the therapy device include a slot for receiving the standard and may be shaped and sized to resemble an attache or brief case and to include a handle and one or more bins for holding occupational therapy exercise items. The bin may be compartmentalized and have a lid to secure exercise items therein. A locking mechanism may be mounted on the base so that the standard may be secured within the slot. So secured, the base and standard may be transported by grasping and moving the device by means of the handle. Once at a desired location, the device may be assembled by removing the standard from the slot, placing it in the receptacle, and positioning the arms on the standard. A variety of exercises may be accomplished by using the arms as platforms for the exercise items secured within the bin.
