ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for the therapeutic exercise and rehabilitation of injured fingers is comprised of a backboard upon which the dorsal side of the patient's hand is rested, a strap to secure the hand to the baseboard and provide necessary leverage for exercises and an immobilization bar which is used to anchor the proximal or middle phalanges to the backboard thereby isolating the proximal and distal interphalangeal joints, respectively, and their corresponding muscles for therapeutic exercise. The subject invention is designed for rehabilitation of both the left and right hand and includes means for adaptation to hands of various shape and size.
