ABSTRACT:
A medical gin pole for use by patients in performing physical therapy has a collapsible construction to enable convenient portability. In an erected condition, the gin pole has an A-frame configuration formed by an elongated rectangular base and a pair of struts. Lower ends of each of the struts are frictionally engaged in spaced apertures formed in the base. Upper ends of each of the struts are pivotally mounted to a bracket. A folding brace extends between the struts and serves to retain the struts in an erected condition. A linear guide rod is pivotally mounted to the bracket for movement about a pivot axis perpendicular to the pivot axes of the strut. The linear guide rod may be extensible and terminates in a mounting plate for securement to a vertical wall surface. A carriage is formed by a hollow sleeve surrounding the rod. The carriage is mounted for reciprocal movement along the linear guide rod and a pulley is suspended therefrom. A manipulating mechanism is supported by the pulley for selectively raising and lowering limbs of a patient.
