Abstract:
A home self-exercising device for strengthening the muscles, tendons and ligaments of the foot, ankle and lower leg, especially the forward lower leg muscles. The foot harness is adjusted to grasp the heel and forward foot of the patient. An elastic tension member is secured to the harness in the vicinity of the ball of the foot, and the other end is secured to an article of furniture or the like. The foot may then be moved against the force of the elastic member in the upward direction and rotated about the ankle. The difficulty of exercising the front lower leg muscles without the aid of another person is overcome by this device.
