ABSTRACT:
A shoulder exercising apparatus (100) is adapted for use by a patient to exercise selected muscle/skeletal groups in the shoulder regions. The apparatus (100) includes a rectangular bracket (102) having an adjustably mounted saddle assembly (108). An exercise bar assembly (116) is pivotably coupled to the bracket (102) and includes an elongated outer tube (122) with a power slide (128) having a friction mounting on the tube (122). In use, a patient (136) secures his or her arm within the saddle assembly (108) and moves the power slide (128) along the outer tube (122), thereby exercising various muscles in the shoulder region in accordance with the patient's position relative to the exercising apparatus (100). A force measuring mechanism (124) is coupled to the tube (122) so as to measure external forces exerted in moving the tube (122) relative to a handle rod (138) connected to the bracket (102) and partially received within the tube (122).
