Zusammenfassung:	An exercising device usable by patients confined to a bed. The device has a cantilevered construction and thus positions the active exercise elements within easy reach of the patient. A pair of handles that are pivotally mounted for opposite direction pivotal movement may be manipulated by the patient's hands or feet so that the patient may exercise all four limbs. The amount of resistance that is presented by the device may be varied by changing the angular orientation of resistance members that are associated with each handle, and the device is lockable to the patient's bed so that it is held against movement during the exercise period.
