?:definition
  • Lower-limb muscle strength exercisers based on a system of levers that are designed to provide resistance to muscular contraction using a pneumatic mechanism when the user performs a hip abduction. The user exerts force on levers to counteract the exerciser resistance. These exercisers are usually stand-alone machines consisting of a pneumatic mechanism, a system to transmit the force (i.e., to convey the resistance), and a seat with two padded levers attached, one on each side, and foot rests at the bottom. Typically, the user sits in the seat with the sides of their knees and legs resting on the padded levers and their feet on the foot rests. The user puts one thigh inside each padded lever and pushes outwards against the resistance. These exercisers are intended to improve muscle strength in the hips, increase muscle size, enhance muscle endurance and power, and improve bone density.
