Abstract
An upper extremity rehabilitation system comprising a base with one or more pockets, a first pole and a second pole, each pole having a grip and a joint. The joint is removably attached to the pockets on the base to secure the pole from sliding. The base can have a top and a bottom with a thickness that is half or full circle. The system may also include a band spanning between the first pole and the second pole and is coupled to the poles with at least one clip. The system also includes a method of applying the system by securing the poles at a predetermined distance, choosing a band with user specified resistance, coupling the band between the poles with a clip, and instructing a user to place their hands on the grips and move the poles away from each other or in a circular motion.

An upper extremity rehabilitation system comprising:
- a base having a plurality of pockets spaced around the base in a circular pattern;
- a first pole and a second pole, each pole comprising:
- a first end and a second end;
- a grip coupled to the first end;
- and
- a joint coupled to the second end wherein the joint is configured to removably attach to each of the one or more pockets on the base to secure the pole from sliding relative to the base.
A method of applying a upper extremity rehabilitation system comprising the acts of:
- providing a base having a plurality of pockets spaced around the base in a circular pattern;
- securing a first pole having a first grip in a first pocket of the plurality of pockets and a second pole having a second grip in a second pocket of the plurality of pockets at a predetermined distance from each other, wherein each of the first pole and the second pole has at least one identified area;
- choosing a band with a user specified resistance;
- coupling the band between the first pole and the second pole with the band placed in one of the at least one identified areas;
- and
- instructing a user to place a first hand on the first grip and a second hand on the second grip and move the first pole and second pole away from each other or in a circular motion.
