ABSTRACT:
A knee exercising device is described. It provides for the manual control of pressure to the lower leg in selectively flexing either the right or left leg knee joint. The device includes a plate member interposed between the users buttocks and a chair sear on which the user is sitting. The leg of the knee being exercised is held in an elevated position by a pad between the thigh of that leg and the chair seat. A lever is pivotally mounted, intermediate its length, on the plate member. The lever swings in a vertical plane between the users legs about an axis generally vertically aligned with and parallel to the axis of the knee joint being exercised. A leg engaging pad is removably mounted on the lower end portion of the lever. The removable mounting enables the pad to be selectively positioned to engage the front, shin portion or rear calf portion or either leg, at an area adjacent to and spaced above the user's foot.
