Abstract
A device adapted to be placed upon a human for the purpose of counting exercises incident to therapeutically treating and restoring the part of the anatomy being exercised to normal use. The device accurately counts the number of repetitions the part of the anatomy is exercised in a given time period. The accuracy of the total number in a given time period is assured by anti-cheating elements which render the counting mechanism inoperable in the event the device is not on the human anatomy when the device is utilized.
