description A leg exerciser for the wheelchair bound includes a frame which is placed on the floor. The portions of the frame which touch the floor may be covered with protective material. The frame has a vertical bracket at one end thereof formed as a rectangle about an open interior. This bracket is mounted between the small front wheels and the larger main wheels of a wheelchair. A portion of each of the front wheels is securely retained in the bracket's open interior. This arrangement thus serves to fix the position of the wheelchair relative to the exerciser and to prevent relative movement between the wheelchair and the exerciser. The forces exerted on the exerciser are directed so that the front wheels of the chair are caused to engage the bracket which prevents the rearward movement of the chair and any forward movement of the exerciser. Two shock absorbers provide resistance against radius arms to which foot pedals are attached. Return force is provided to cause the foot pedals and the radius arms to return to an initial resting position.
