ABSTRACT:
A weight machine for use by persons confined to a wheelchair designed so that the person so confined may independently, or with minimal assistance, use the exercise machine. The frame of the exercise machine extends outwardly beyond the backrest and a plurality of ramp members are pivotally connected to said frame so that the person confined to a wheelchair can back onto the ramp members and each will pivot toward the machine thereby allowing the person confined to the wheelchair to back up to the machine until their back is against the backrest of the exercise machine. The backrest is positioned to provide support for the person's spine throughout the various exercises which may be performed. When the exercises are completed, the wheelchair can be rolled forward causing the ramp members to pivot away from the weight machine and allowing the person confined to the wheelchair to exit.
