A static rebound exerciser/rehabilitation device for exercising a person regardless of that persons physical condition and particularly for exercising an invalid person. A base platform supports a pair of vertical uprights which have a pivotly attached person supporting boom extending therefrom. The boom is positionable vertically by a hydraulic actuator or jack. A pair of leaf springs are attached to the uprights and extend downwardly from fixed in place ends to distal ends. A pair of cables extend from the distal ends of the leaf springs each around a pulley and extend to common termination member to which is attached a person supporting cable which extends from the end of the boom, a dampening spring and a periodically operated solenoid which pulls against the weight of the person supported by one end of the cable. The person supporting cable passes through a pair of pulleys and extends downward from the distal end of the boom. A person attached to the distal end of the person support cable is exercised by action of the solenoid jerking the cable and the flexing of the leaf springs against the weight of the suspended person. The dampening spring is adjustable to control the amplitude of the solenoid action on the cable.
