Disclosed herein is a foot operated therapeutic exercise device comprising a saddle, a load and drive means to propel the load; the drive means further including a pair of pedal mechanisms, each of the pedal mechanisms including a pedal and a pedal support, the pedal support being mounted for rotation about a pedal axis; a pair of coupling means, each to independently couple a corresponding one of the pedals to the support in a manner to allow the position of the pedal to be adjusted relative to the pedal axis according to the range of motion of a corresponding knee of a patient; adjustment means to independently adjust the pedal axis of each of the pedal mechanisms relative to the saddle, according to the corresponding leg of the patient, thereby allowing the exercise regimen for each leg to be adjusted according to its individual limitations.

L'invention a trait à un dispositif exerciseur à vocation thérapeutique manoeuvré au pied, comprenant une selle, une charge et un équipement d'entraînement destiné à mouvoir cette charge. L'équipement d'entraînement comporte, en outre, deux mécanismes à pédale, comportant chacun une pédale et un support de pédale monté de manière à pouvoir tourner autour d'un axe de pédale. Le dispositif comprend également deux organes de couplage dont chacun couple de manière indépendante la pédale correspondante au support d'une façon telle qu'elle permet de régler la position de la pédale par rapport à son axe et ce, en fonction de l'amplitude de mouvement du genou correspondant du patient. Il comprend, de surcroît, un dispositif de réglage pour régler, de manière indépendante, l'axe de pédale de chaque mécanisme à pédale par rapport à la selle en fonction de la jambe correspondante du patient, ce qui permet d'adapter le régime d'exercice de chaque jambe en fonction de ses possibilités.
