ABSTRACT:
A portable, dismountable therapy enclosure assists invalids and patients with walking disabilities in regaining use of their legs. The therapy enclosure consists of a platform upon which a multi-sided enclosure having sufficient interior space to receive a standing patient is removably positioned and secured. The multi-sided enclosure includes at least one hinged side panel through which the patient may enter and exit the enclosure. The upper portion of the enclosure defines a generally U-shaped horizontal surface which functions as an armrest. Standing within the confines of the enclosure, the legs of a patient are maintained in substantially vertical weight-bearing relationship to the patients body and walking exercises may be safely performed.
