Abstract: A simple, inexpensive exercise apparatus for wheelchair bound persons which allows them to exercise all upper body muscle groups while remaining in their wheelchair. A horizontal platform receives the wheelchair in a forward or rearward orientation, depending on which exercises are to be performed. The wheels of the chair are then locked, and an elastic rope with handles at each end is positioned behind one of several matched pairs of rope guides, situated on a mast, an overhead unit, or on the platform, again depending on the desired exercise. The tension on the rope may be conveniently adjusted by looping it over one of many rope pins, eliminating the need to continually move the wheelchair. The mast and overhead unit may be quickly removed for transportation or storage of the invention.
