Exercise equipment, e.g. for movement therapy, has effective length of crank arm set to zero so that limb moves negligibly during exercise

摘要

The equipment includes rotational operating members (5,6,20,21) for a pair of arms and/or legs with crank arms (7) and at least one motor (8) for driving and/or braking the operating members. The effective length L of at least one crank arm can be set to zero or near zero, so that a limb borne on this crank does not move, or moves only negligibly during exercise.
