  • Patent number: 6217488
    Abstract: A rocking-type foot and lower leg exercising apparatus incorporates one or two centrally pivoted pedals mounted upon a base in a position facilitating the placement of the feet of the user upon such pedal or pedals while seated in a chair and rocking of the pedals with the foot positioned upon them to provide a soothing motion that will maintain the tone of the muscles of the legs and encourages blood circulation in the feet and legs. The pivot point of the pedal or pedals may be located at any vertical position between the base and the pedal, but is located longitudinally, between about one fourth to one half of the distance from the end of the pedal or pedals. A motor, solenoid, actuator, or other electrical hydraulic or pneumatic means or any combination thereof may be provided to generate rocking-type motion of the pedals.
