Abstract:

An exerciser for treating wrist injuries or conditions including carpal tunnel syndrome is formed by a handle attached to a track of continuous loops. A moveable bead on the track is maneuvered from one end of the track to the other by manipulating the exerciser preferable with the patient using only her wrist. The motion required to move the bead along the track is therapeutic for those suffering from wrist disorders including carpal tunnel syndrome. Additionally, the track is formed from a flexible material allowing the track to be moved between a compressed position for storage and travel and an expanded position for use.
