Joint Rehabilitation Strap and Method of Using the Same

A method of rehabilitating a joint, comprising the steps of:

• providing a flexible elongate body having a first end and a second end,
• providing a first D-shaped member flexibly coupled to the first end of said flexible elongate member,
• providing a second D-shaped member flexibly coupled to the second end of said flexible elongate member,
• providing a first handle attached to the first D-shaped member,
• providing a second handle attached to the second D-shaped member, wherein the first D-shaped member, the second D-shaped member, the first handle and the second handle are configured to prevent pinching of a user's hand when said user is gripping the first handle or the second handle,
• gripping the first handle with a first hand of a user,
• gripping the second handle with a second hand of the user,
• positioning a portion of the flexible elongate body on a portion of a limb of the user so as to mechanically couple the flexible elongate body to the limb of the user, and
• moving the limb at least in part by the user pulling on at least one of the first handle and the second handle, thereby actuating a joint of the user.
