Gymnasticon

The Gymnasticon was an early exercise machine resembling a stationary bicycle, invented in 1796 by Francis Lowndes. Its function was to exercise the joints, either "in all parts of the body at once, or partially."〔"Gymnasticon," J. M. Good, O. Gregory, and N. Bosworth, ''Pantologia. A New (Cabinet) Cyclopaedia'' (London, 1819); (Google Books scan ).〕
==Background==
The Gymnasticon emerged from the newly developed science of orthopedics, originated by Nicolas Andry in 1741.〔Sarah Bakewell, "Illustrations from the Wellcome Institute Library: Medical Gymnastics and the Cyriax Collection," ''Medical History'' 41 (1997), 487–495.〕 It was an early example of a series of new technologies in gymnastics that would lead to the development of physical therapy in the nineteenth century.〔
Lowndes, the device's inventor, had previously established himself as an authority on medical electricity, the use of electricity as a therapy for both disease and injury. His book ''Observations on Medical Electricity,'' published in 1787, contained descriptions of a number of cases "in which electricity has either cured the disease, or given great relief."〔''The Monthly Review'', vol. 77 (1787), 240; (Google Books scan ).〕
