Abstract

592522 Disclosed is an exercise apparatus to allow patients who are unable to use their legs to support their bodyweight due to injury or age to exercise by walking or running. The exercise apparatus comprises a treadmill (11) having a generally vertical running surface (14), and a bench (12) for supporting a users upper body and hips. The angle of the running surface is adjustable relative to the ground within a range of angles, including a vertical angle. The bench may be positioned so that the feet of a user supported thereon may contact the running surface of the treadmill to exercise. The bench comprises a seat (23) and a back support (22), wherein the relative angle and position of the seat and back support are independently adjustable.
