Abstract (en)

[origin: US4921243A] A motion device which provides circulatory stimulation and therapy of vascular disorders of legs. The motion device comprises two pivoting pedals positioned in a heel area on a base plate. The pedals are connected to a mechanism positioned between the pedals. The mechanism comprises a crank system having a shaft which is parallel to the pivoting axis of the pedals so that the pedals must be moved in push-pull motion. The shaft is connected with a transmission gearing which drives a flywheel. Thus the user of the device can easily overcome the top dead center points during operation. Through the use of a brake operating lightly on the flywheel, the necessary magnitude of force when stepping on the pedals can be sensitively adjusted.
