An exercise device for attachment to a wheelchair of the kind having attachment means for removable footrests which include vertically spaced lugs carrying upstanding pintles. The device has a frame front end which supports a head tube and a rear end part extending across the wheelchair. A stem mounted in the head tube has a lower portion carrying a tricycle type wheel with pedals attached, and has an upper extension leading to steering means accessible to an occupant of the wheelchair. The rear end part of the frame has laterally spaced, rearwardly extending vertically spaced bracket parts each with an aperture suitable for receiving one of the upstanding pintles of the footrest support lugs. After removal of the footrests, the frame can be secured to the upstanding pintles to allow the wheelchair occupant to use the exercise device and to move the wheelchair.

Un dispositif d'exercice destiné à être fixé à un fauteuil roulant muni de pièces de fixation pour repose-pieds, qui comprennent des tenons placés à la verticale qui sont porteurs de chevilles également installées à la verticale. L'extrémité avant du dispositif comporte un cadre auquel est raccordé un tube de direction; l'extrémité arrière du dispositif s'étend sur toute la largeur du fauteuil. L'intérieur du tube de direction recèle une tige dont la partie inférieure est rattachée à une roue de tricycle munie de pédales; l'extrémité supérieure de la tige s'étend jusqu'à une commande de direction à laquelle peut accéder l'occupant du fauteuil roulant. Le dos du cadre est constitué de pièces de support espacées latéralement et projetées verticalement. Ces pièces de support sont percées chacune d'un trou dans lequel s'insèrent les chevilles des tenons des repose- pieds. Lorsque ces derniers sont enlevés, le cadre peut être fixé aux chevilles pour ainsi permettre à l'occupant du fauteuil roulant de se servir du dispositif d'exercice et de diriger le fauteuil.
