1. A bed exercise system, comprising:
a foot pad having a first lateral side, a second lateral side opposite the first lateral side, an upper side, and a lower side, wherein the foot pad further comprises a proximal surface and a distal surface opposite the proximal surface, wherein the proximal surface and the distal surface extend between the first lateral side, the second lateral side, the upper side, and the lower side, wherein the proximal surface is configured to engage one or more soles of one or more feet of an operator;
a leg support member extending proximally from the lower side of the foot pad, wherein the leg support member is configured to support one or more ankles and one or more legs of an operator when the one or more soles of the one or more feet of the operator engage the proximal surface of the foot pad;
a first elastic connector having a first end coupled to a first lateral side of the foot pad and a second end configured to couple to a patient support structure; and
a second elastic connector having a first end coupled to a second lateral side of the foot pad and a second end configured to couple to the patient support structure,
wherein, when the second end of the first elastic connector and the second end of the second elastic connector are coupled to the patient support structure: (i) the foot pad is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the patient support structure, and (ii) a tension on the first elastic connector and a tension on the second elastic connector increases as the foot pad moves from the first position to the second position, and
wherein the foot pad is foldable relative to the leg support member at an interface between the foot pad and the leg support member.
