Abstract
A system utilizable by a patient engaged in strengthening, stretching or range of motion exercise therapy of the shoulder which contains a number of interactive components combinable in any one of several different configurations to provide the patient with specific shoulder exercise devices. A first device provides shoulder exercise by moving the patient's arm in various directions against the elastic resistance of an elastomeric tube while the device is anchored to the foot of the patient or in a door jamb. A second device provides shoulder exercise by grasping opposite ends of an overhead line resting on a support guide anchored in a door jamb and pulling the opposite ends of the line back and forth across the glide. A third device provides shoulder exercise by performing various movements of the arms while grasping opposite ends of a baton assembly.
