Abstract

An aquatic exercise and rehabilitation device includes an exercise cycle which is mounted in a tank or water holding vessel. The user would sit on a seat and the user's legs would be placed on pedals connected to the wheel. The wheel unit can be rotated from the force from the user or alternatively the rotational force could be imparted by a rotating drive surface which contacts the wheel unit. A particularly suitable form of rotating drive surface is a treadmill which optionally offers an alternative form of underwater exercise.
