PCT No. PCT/SE90/00306 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 3, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 3, 1991 PCT Filed May 9, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO90/13338 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 15, 1990.A method and apparatus for joint controlled training of different motoric units for development of functional muscle strength and proprioceptiviety, wherein the direction of action of the resistance is adjusted in relation to the muscle groups or motoric units to be trained. In the method and apparatus all joint positions are arrested for the joints associated with the groups of muscles or the motoric units to be trained. The apparatus incorporates orthoses (1, 4, 5) for arresting positions of all joints which are affected by the muscle groups or motoric units to-be-trained, as well as a non-resilient strap (8). The strap (8) facilitates adjustment of the angle under which a load (12) is applied.
