ABSTRACT:
A wrist/ankle exercising apparatus (100) is adapted for use by a patient (254) to exercise selected muscle/skeletal groups in the wrist, lower leg and ankle regions. The apparatus (100) includes a portable structural frame (102) having an adjustably mounted saddle assembly (108). An elongated outer tube (138) is coupled to the frame (102) and a power slide (142) is friction mounted on the tube (138). Actuating members (120, 226, 234, 242) selectively connectable to the apparatus (100) are coupled through a cable (232) to the power slide (142). Rotation of the actuating members (120, 226, 234, 242) results in axial movement of the power slide (142 ) on the outer tube (138) and linear movement of the outer tube (138) with respect to a stationary rod (190) axially coupled to the outer tube (138) and rigidly mounted to the structural frame (102). A force measuring mechanism (140) is mounted to the tube (138) so as to measure external forces exerted by the user in moving the tube (138) relative to the stationary rod (190).
