System, method and apparatus for rehabilitation and exercise

A rehabilitation and exercise system, comprising:

• a base;
• a seat
• a static device configured to be coupled to the base and configured to provide isometric exercise for a user by receiving static force from the user to facilitate at least one of osteogenesis or muscle hypertrophy for the user, the static device comprising pivoting assemblies each comprising a pivoting arm and a pivoting handle;
• a dynamic device configured to be coupled to the base and configured to provide a dynamic exercise for the user by being moved by the user to facilitate the at least one of osteogenesis and muscle hypertrophy for the user, wherein
• the base comprises a longitudinal base length and a lateral base width, a main post is coupled to the base at a first base end, the main post extends from the base, the dynamic device is attached to the base adjacent the main post, and the dynamic device comprises a cycling mechanism having pedals configured to be selectively engaged by the user, and
• the main post has a distal post end opposite the first base end, the pivoting assemblies are coupled to the main post at the distal post end of the main post, the pivoting assemblies are each pivotable about a lateral pivoting axis at the distal post end, each of the pivoting arms has a distal arm end, and the pivoting handles are pivotally attached to the distal arm ends, respectively, to be engaged by the user;
• and
• a control console configured to provide information to and instruct the user regarding use of the rehabilitation and exercise system prior to or during use of the system,
• wherein lengths of the pivoting arms are less than a length of the main post such that, when the pivoting arms extend in a lateral direction from the distal post end of the main post toward the seat, the pivoting assemblies are positioned in the lateral direction between the cycling mechanism and the seat.

A method of using an exercise machine for exercising a user, the method comprising:

• providing the exercise machine having a static device, a dynamic device, and a seat positioned to allow the user to engage both the static device and the dynamic device, the static device comprising pivoting assemblies each comprising a pivoting arm and a pivoting handle, wherein the base comprises a longitudinal base length and a lateral base width, and the dynamic device comprising a cycling mechanism having pedals configured to be selectively engaged by the user, wherein
• a main post is coupled to the base at a first base end, the main post extends from the base, the main post has a distal post end opposite the first base end, the pivoting assemblies are coupled to the main post at the distal post end of the main post, the pivoting assemblies are each pivotable about a lateral pivoting axis at the distal post end, each of the pivoting arms has a distal arm end, and the pivoting handles are pivotally attached to the distal arm ends, respectively, to be engaged by the user;
• selectively and sequentially engaging the static and dynamic devices by the user;
• and
• receiving by the static and dynamic devices applications of force by the user sufficient to facilitate osteogenesis and muscle hypertrophy for the user,
• wherein lengths of the pivoting arms are less than a length of the main post such that, when the pivoting arms extend in a lateral direction from the distal post end of the main post toward the seat, the pivoting assemblies are positioned in the lateral direction between the cycling mechanism and the seat.
