A wheelchair having a therapeutic unit attached thereto that contains an auxiliary drive wheel mounted in a frame beneath the chair seat. A pair of leg operated levers are connected to the auxiliary drive wheel by a drive system so that reciprocating the levers causes the auxiliary drive wheel to rotate. The levers contain forwardly extended arms that are hinged to move laterally to one side or the other of the chair seat thus permitting easy ingress and egress from the chair. The auxiliary drive wheel can be raised by one seated in the chair so that the therapeutic value of the system can be realized while the chair is in a stationary position.
La présente invention concerne une chaise roulante sur laquelle est raccordé un accessoire aérobique comprenant une roue motrice auxiliaire montée dans un châssis sous le siège de la chaise. Une paire de leviers actionnés par les jambes sont reliés à la roue motrice auxiliaire via un système d'entraînement, ceci de telle sorte que le mouvement alternatif imprimé aux leviers fasse tourner la roue motrice auxiliaire. Les leviers comprennent des bras dirigés vers l'avant, montés sur pivots, qui, en basculant de l'un ou de l'autre côté de la chaise, permettent à l'occupant de quitter la chaise ou de s'y installer facilement. La personne assise dans la chaise peut soulever la roue motrice auxiliaire, ce qui permet d'exploiter l'effet thérapeutique du système avec la chaise en position stationnaire.
