REHABILITATION TOOL FOR AFTER-SURGERY OF FINGER FLEXING MUSCLE AND TENDON

摘要

PURPOSE:To incorporate a power source and fulcrum in a small exercise tool, give a given tension and facilitate mounting, by providing a spool to be driven in rotation by an elastic body in a casing provided with a mounting seat on the outer periphery and extending the other end of a wire member, one end of which connected to the spool, beyond a fulcrum guide. CONSTITUTION:A fixing plate 24 is fixed to a palm 23 with a velvet fastener belt 25. The mounting seat 12 of a casing 11 is fixed to the plate 24 with a double-sided adhesive tape 13, a nylon thread 19 is pulled out, and a bulged body 20 is engaged with a hook 22 joined to a nail under a proper tension. When the finger is slackened, it is pulled by a nylon thread 19 which is pulled back by a coil spring 18 with a throughhole 14 as a fulcrum to bend joints 26A and 26B, providing a good movable range exercise. Since the coil spring 18 and be throughhole 14 are in one body, the exercise tool is made small, mounting to the palm 23 is easy, and the finger 26 can be extended or flexed with a uniform force.
