ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for exercising a person's knee. The apparatus includes a base member that supports a person in a supine position. There are a pair of shoulder braces connected to and extending upwardly from the base member. Each shoulder brace engages a respective shoulder of the supported person. An elongate strap is interconnected to and extends between the shoulder braces. The strap extends across the back of the supported person's leg to hold the upper section of the leg, located generally above the knee, in an upright condition extending upwardly from the base member. The lower section of the leg, located generally below the knee, may be selectively lowered and raised relative to the upper section of the leg to stretch and strengthen the knee.
