Exercisinor Machines for Wounded Soldiers 



An uncomfortable position? Yes, 

 but better this for a little while 

 every day than a hip that 

 won't work. Stiffness resulting 

 from hip wounds is stubborn but 

 it will yield to this treatment. 

 As the wheel rotates, the foot 

 describes a circle, moving only 

 a few inches at a time at first 



At right: Hand wounds, 

 where fingers will not 

 straighten out, are treated by 

 a machine operated by pedal, 

 weight and pulley. The hand 

 is strapped to a shelf and the 

 fingers to a sliding board 

 which gently draws them 

 out as the patient pedals 



Above: Limbering up stiff- 

 ened wrists by sitting in a 

 chair and pedaling. The 

 wrists are fastened to hinged 

 hand-boards from which 

 weighted cords extend to pul- 

 leys attached to the ceiling. 

 From the underside of the 

 hand-board are bars which 

 connect with a pedal below 



In oval at top: Exercising leg 

 muscles from the ankle to the 

 hip. The foot is strapped to a 

 wooden disk which is revolved 

 by pedaling with the sound leg. 

 Note the cord running over the 

 rim of the disk, and the weight 

 which is attached to the pedal
