Abstract
A shoulder motion exercise device, kit, and method of use having a retainer, a plurality of connectors, an extender, and a slider. The device aids in the stretching and exercise of at least a shoulder and a portion of the torso.
Claims20
A shoulder motion exercise kit, comprising:
- a slider (400), slidably engaged to an extender (300) having an extender axial length (305), a proximal end (310), an extender gripping portion (330) having a grip portion length (332), a distal end (320), and an extender slidable portion (340) having a slidable portion length (342), a proximal slider position (360), wherein a portion of the slider (400) is within 8 inches of the proximal end (310), and a distal slider position (370) along the slidable portion length (342);
- the hand-grippable slider (400) is releasably coupled to a proximal end (210) of an elastic resistance connector (200), and a distal end (220) of the elastic resistance connector (200) is releasably coupled to a retainer (100) configured to be releasably securable to a non-dominant arm of the user (U), wherein the elastic resistance connector (200) has an unstretched connector length, and the slider (400) has a slider length of at least 3.5″, and the slider (400) engages a portion of the extender (300) and is only removable from the extender (300) at the proximal end (310) or the distal end (320);
- the elastic resistance connector (200) has a first functional length, with the slider (400) positioned at the proximal slider position (360) of the extender slidable portion (340) and the retainer (100) secured to the non-dominant arm of the user (U);
- the elastic resistance connector (200) has a second functional length greater than the first functional length, with the slider (400) positioned at the distal slider position (370) of the extender slidable portion (340) after the slider (400) has moved throughout at least 12 inches of the slidable portion length (342), and the retainer (100) secured to the non-dominant arm of the user (U);
- and
- the elastic resistance connector (200) comprising at least two user interchangeable connectors including at least a first elastic resistance connector and a second elastic resistance connector.

- and
- the elastic resistance connector (200) comprising at least two user interchangeable connectors including at least a first elastic resistance connector and a second elastic resistance connector, wherein the first elastic resistance connector and the second elastic resistance connector have different elastic properties and when subjected to the same tensile load, at least one of the first elastic resistance connector and the second elastic resistance connector stretches at least 50% more than the other connector.
