An exercise board sized to the patient's abdominal area provides for
maximum lateral range extension of the shoulder rotator and limb
musculoskeletal system. A ferrous loaded exercise disk on top of a flat
surface sheet is magnetically coupled to permanent magnets housed below
in a laterally free space to establish a magnetically induced lateral
frictional resistance against the patient's lateral force on the disk
anywhere on the plane of the surface sheet. An incline exercise apparatus
is formed by combining the board with an incline stand and a rope, pulley
and pull ring, allowing a patient's good limb to assist in rehabilitating
the acutely impaired limb, as from stroke, shoulder rotator damage, or
surgery. Circuitous indicia paths, some with obstacles for the disk,
provide a method for the determination the patient's range performance
and energy expended.
