Disclosed herein is an exercise device comprising a plurality of belt members attached to, and arranged in parallel on a base frame, the exercise device further comprising at least one frictional member disposed in frictional contact with, and forcibly biased against a surface of at least roller in communication with the belt such that an external force applied to at least one of the belts is opposed by a frictional force provided by the frictional contact between the frictional member and the roller. A method of exercising using the exercise device is also disclosed.
Isoped-Pedestal Providing Circulatory Help For Those Who Are Chair-Bound Or Have Limited Mobility
A disclosure for a limited motion exerciser has been provided. The device as presently conceived is entirely driven by the user in a sitting position only. It would be placed on the floor, slightly forward of the knees such that movement of either leg away from the chair will be met with a predetermined resistance. Its physical size dictates a stroke of approximately 10 inches. Two traction elements are provided, one positioned beneath each foot. The elements are mechanically independent, allowing use of one or the other. Ideally both feet and lower legs would be active, employing equal and opposite motion, similar to normal walking. As designed, there is sufficient interior volume to install a user-adjustable load resistance that will be battery powered and recharged by the energy expended by the user. This feature (user-adjustability) will be covered by a subsequent patent application and is not detailed herein.
