ABSTRACT:
A proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation exercise device including a drive motor, gear mechanism connected with the drive motor, a control connected with the motor for operating the motor in either direction, and a rotating member connected with the gear mechanism and adapted to be coupled to a body member of a user for moving the body member in the desired direction. The movable member moves in increments and is lockable at desired positions for holding the body member against a force tending to return it to normal position or a force in the opposite direction. One exercise device rotates the upper torso relative to the spine. Another of the exercise devices rotates the upper legs of a user relative to the hip joints and lower legs relative to the knees. A further device operates the arms forward and backward relative to the shoulder joint and includes parallel vertical shafts movable together and apart to adjust for difference distances between the shoulder joints of a user.
