Abstract
A limb exerciser, such as for a leg, includes a brace hinged at the middle with upper padded members for snugly engaging the upper portion of a limb and lower padded members for snugly engaging the lower portion of a limb. Elastic hook-and-loop fasteners surround the members and the limb to firmly secure the members to the limb. A U-shaped portion extends above the center of the hinge and carries fulcrum assemblies on each leg of the U over which a resilient member rides. The ends of the resilient member are attached to upper studs at the far ends of the upper and lower assemblies. A second pair of resilient members may be connected between lower studs at the far end of each support assembly.
