ABSTRACT:
An exercise device and method for the treatment of symptoms related to carpal tunnel syndrome is described. The device comprises an elastic member, retained in a mouse pad, which removably attaches to the distal tips of the fingers and the thumb of the affected hand. The patient dons the device and with the fingers and thumb extended, repetitively forces the fingers and thumb outward away from one another against the elastic restoring force of the device. Brief, frequent, (preferably daily) use of this device relieves the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome.
