Abstract:
1. A STRETCH PAL set of cooperatively fitting components for holistic flexion exercise of several of the muscle groups of the lower torso comprising: a Foot Cradle component for holding a foot on a cradle platform and adjustably nestling an ankle and multiplicity of junction points for size adjustment and mating with other components, a Knee Brace component for transmitting forces to the knee in opposition to the foot with tacking means for holding knee pads and a multiplicity of junction points for bridging to said Foot Cradle component a Cross Brace component which acts as a bridge from said Foot Cradle to said Knee Brace components with a multiplicity of junction points for mating thereby, a multiplicity of Pad components with complementary tacking means for cushioning the knee and adjusting the sizing of the Knee Brace component to accommodate the degree of pressure applied to the knee, a Friction Pad & Extension Stand component which is a base assembly for holding components and having a multiplicity of penetrations as junction points for size adjustment and mating with other components, a Stiffener component having a multiplicity of penetrations as junction points to effect triangular rigidity to an assembly of components a paired Inner Telescoping Extending Tube component and Outer Telescoping Extending Tube component which have a sliding fit for sheathing of one to the other and each having a multiplicity of penetrations as junction points for size adjustment and mating with other components, an Inner Reinforcing Tube component which can slide into other tubes of larger cross sectional area for extending and reinforcing the larger tube, a Bridge component with a pair of junction points for interconnecting Telescoping Extending Tube components to the Foot Cradle component, a Door Hook component having a multiplicity of penetrations as junction points for size adjustment and mating with the Friction Pad & Extension Stand component to secure the combination thereof under a door, a multiplicity of Lock Rod components of diameter to fit through penetrations for sizing the component assemblies and joining together mating components, a Bridge Rod component of dimensions to sit snugly through penetrations of said Bridge for attachment to Inner Telescoping Extending Tube or Outer Telescoping Extending Tube components a pair of Foam Brick components to adjust the angular attitude of the user to the configuration of the assembled components, a Stabilizing Rod component of diameter to fit through penetrations for stabilizing the Foot Cradle component or providing a grasping handle, and a Short Lanyard component for attaching a component assembly to some secure holding point for an extended time period,
