Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a wrist, hand and finger exercise device comprising the steps of: cutting a length of elastomeric material of user selected elasticity which is just long enough for one end of the length of elastomeric material to extend completely around the proximal phalanxes of the fingers of a human hand distal and adjacent to the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpals when the fingers of the hand are extended straight and touching each other side by side in a common plane and overlap the other end of the elastomeric material; attaching the end of the elastomeric material to the overlapped portion of the other end of the elastomeric material by use of an attachment means forming a loop thereby wherein the loop's elastic tension is sufficient to hold the loop in place around the proximal phalanxes of the fingers of the human hand distal and adjacent to the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpals when the fingers of the hand are extended straight and touching each other side by side in a common plane; collapsing the loop such that the elastomeric material forms a flattened loop with a top portion and a bottom portion juxtaposed to each other; attaching the top portion and the bottom portion of the flattened loop in three locations by use of an attachment means such that when the flattened loop is un-collapsed the three attachments of the top portion and the bottom portion define four finger loops of a size capable of fitting on the proximal phalanxes of the fingers of the human hand distal and adjacent to the heads of the second, third, fourth and fifth metacarpals.
