Abstract
A therapy aid device for improving rotation of shoulder complex is provided. The device includes an upper portion and a lower portion joined together by an angled connector. The upper portion is configured to attach to a user's upper arm and the lower portion is configured to attach to the user's lower arm. The lower portion may also be configured to keep a user's hand in a flexed angled position. Using the device, the user may rotate the shoulder and move while keeping the upper and lower arms and wrist in specific positions. For example, the user may rotate his shoulder such that the user's hand and forearm move away from the torso while the elbow generally remain in the same location.

A device for increasing shoulder mobility in a person, consisting of:
- an upper portion configured to attach to a person's upper arm;
- a lower portion configured to attach to a person's lower arm and open palm such that the open palm and the lower arm are held in a fixed position relative to the upper arm;
- a connector joining the upper and lower portions, wherein the connector is positioned at an angle;
- and
- a cylinder fixedly coupled to the connector along a length of the cylinder, the cylinder abutting the connector opposite the upper portion to support continuous manual rotational motion of the device about the cylinder while the length of the cylinder is resting on a planar surface,
- wherein the upper and lower portions position the person's upper and lower arms at a fixed angled position that facilitates movement of the shoulder.
