ABSTRACT:
A hydrotherapy enhancement device having a sheet-form rigid plate member including an essentially rectangular main body portion to support the extremity of a human limb, a fastening arrangement for securing the human limb to the body portion, and fins for increasing the resistance provided to the limb upon movement of the device through water, increases the resistance incurred by the arm or leg muscles by movement of a hand or foot secured to the device within a body of water, thereby improving the strengthening effect of exercises to reduce muscle atrophy in the arm or leg muscles, without adding additional strain to the knee or elbow joints.
