ABSTRACT:
A therapeutic exercise apparatus for use by a patient comprises a base and a tubular post pivotally mounted at a lower end thereof to the base for pivotal, back and forth movement about a pivot axis. Springs are used to urge the tubular post toward a substantially upright position. A handle is mounted distal from the lower end. The tubular post and the springs are adapted to provide only nominal (light) resistence to the tubular post pivoting about the pivot axis to allow the therapeutic exercise apparatus to be used by weak patients, such as accident victims, to regain use of a limb.
