Abstract: Active physiotherapeutic apparatus for the rehabilitation of lower extremities and improving blood circulation comprising a base member upwardly inclined and a pair of foot operated pedals pivotably mounted thereon. In one embodiment, an elbow-shaped lever is pivoted beneath each pedal. One end of each lever carries a sheave which bears against the underside of a pedal. The other end of each lever is connected to a tension spring. Repeatedly depressing the pedals against the force of the tension spring acting through the lever and sheave results in the aforementioned therapeutic benefits.
