Abstract
There is provided a continuous motion exercise apparatus for exercising a Iimb of a patient comprising a housing with an interior compartment communicating with the surroundings through one or more apertures, preferably slits in said housing, mechanical activation means for being activated by a Iimb portion of a person, for instance a foot, a hand, a knee or an elbow of said person, said activation means extending from the interior of said compartment to the surroundings through said one or more apertures, first braking or resistance means for exerting a first resistance against a first force applied to said activation means by said Iimb portion and arranged in said compartment and connected to said activation means, and at least one second braking or resistance means for exerting at least one second resistance against at least one second force applied to said activation means by said Iimb portion and arranged in said compartment and connected to said activation means.
Claims (7)
1. An exercise apparatus comprising: • a housing comprising an interior compartment communicating with the surroundings through one or more apertures, preferably slits in said housing; • mechanical activation means for being activated by a limb portion of a person, for instance a foot, a hand, a knee or an elbow of said person, said activation means extending from the interior of said compartment to the surroundings through said one or more apertures; • braking or resistance means for exerting a resistance against a force applied to said activation means by said limb portion and arranged in said compartment and connected to said activation means; characterized in that the interior compartment is a crank device comprising: • a pair of crank arms each comprised of: • at least two parts, a first part being an inner crank arm and a second part being an outer crank arm; • an inner crank arm axle to which said inner crank arm is rotationally attached, • a first gear forming a gear through which said inner crank arm axle rotatably extends; • a second gear rotatably attached to an outer end of the inner crank arm, said outer crank arm at one end fixedly attached to said second gear and at the other end carrying said mechanical activation means; and • means for connecting the first and second gear; wherein the pair of crank arms are interconnected by means of a connection means provided between said inner crank arms so that moving one of said mechanical activation means in one direction the other activation means is moved in the other direction.
2. An exercise apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said mechanical activation means comprises a pedal for receiving a foot.
3. An exercise apparatus according to claim 2, wherein said mechanical activation means are adapted for allowing said pedal to move to and from along a linear path determined by said slit in said housing.
4. An exercise apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said slits in said housing extend in a generally longitudinal direction relative to the housing.
5. An exercise apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said resistance or braking means comprise a mechanical friction brake.
6. An exercise apparatus according to any of the preceding claims, wherein said resistance or braking means comprise an electrical motor or a hydraulic motor.
7. An exercise apparatus according to any of the preceding claims and further comprising computer controlling means for controlling the power output of said electrical motor or hydraulic motor according to one or more predetermined sequences or algorithms, and power supplying means for supplying power to said electrical motor or hydraulic motor and said to said computer controlling means.
