Abstract:
A modular, resistive, limb-muscle exercise system is disclosed comprising: (a) a torso anchoring module configured for encircling and being adjustably secured around a selected portion of a person's torso; (b) at least one limb extremity-receiving module; and (c) at least one elongate resilient module having a proximal portion being adapted for placement in operative association with module (a) and a distal portion adapted for placement in operative association with module (b), the resilient module being linearly positioned relative to the limb of the received limb extremity to provide a variable, resistive tension to the muscles of the limb associated between module (a) and module (b) during exercise of the associated limb. A kit embodiment and exercise method is also disclosed. The modular resistive limb-muscle exercise system is particularly suitable for use by physically challenged persons.
