ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a device made up of a combination of a splint for dorsal protection and an exerciser in which the exerciser applies a force which mimics the natural forces applied by the tendons of the finger. The finger then moves and bends at all three finger joints in a more natural manner with minimal application of tensile forces to the finger and without significant loading on the root of the finger.
