Abstract
A hand therapy kit includes a housing having a lid that is expandable from a folded position to an unfolded position to expose a working surface on an inside of the lid. An elastic cord is attached at two or more anchor points on the working surface to define at least one gap for receiving a finger. The finger can be therapeutically exercised by moving from a first position proximal to the working surface to a second position distal to the working surface. The hand therapy kit can also include removable hand therapy modules, including a therapeutic tracking glove and/or a pressure sensor ball.
Claims16
A hand therapy kit comprising:
- a housing that includes a lid, wherein said lid is expandable from a folded configuration to an unfolded configuration to expose a working surface on an inside of said lid;
- an elastic cord attached to said working surface, said elastic cord defining a first gap between a first anchor point and a second anchor point on said working surface, said first gap sized to receive a first finger, said elastic cord defining a second gap between a third anchor point and a fourth anchor point on said working surface, said second gap sized to receive a second finger, wherein said elastic cord is configured to provide a first positive resistance as said first finger moves from a first position proximal to said working surface to a second position distal to said working surface and said elastic cord is configured to provide a second positive resistance as said second finger moves from said first position to said second position;
- and
- a plurality of removable hand therapy modules disposed in said housing, said plurality of hand therapy modules including:
- a therapeutic elastic band module, said therapeutic elastic band module comprising a plurality of therapeutic elastic bands having different resistances for progressively exercising a hand;
- a wrap module comprising a stretchable fabric adapted to wrap around said first finger to apply a therapeutic pressure thereto;
- and
- a therapeutic tracking glove comprising:
- a plurality of rotational position sensors attached at positions on fingers of said therapeutic tracking glove that correspond to respective joints of a user's finger;
- and
- a plurality of rods, each rod extending between adjacent rotational positional sensors and in mechanical communication therewith.
A hand therapy kit comprising:
- a housing that includes a lid, wherein said lid is expandable from a folded configuration to an unfolded configuration to expose a working surface on an inside of said lid;
- an elastic cord attached to said working surface, said elastic cord defining a first gap between a first anchor point and a second anchor point on said working surface, said first gap sized to receive a first finger, said elastic cord defining a second gap between a third anchor point and a fourth anchor point on said working surface, said second gap sized to receive a second finger, wherein said elastic cord is configured to provide a first positive resistance as said first finger moves from a first position proximal to said working surface to a second position distal to said working surface and said elastic cord is configured to provide a second positive resistance as said second finger moves from said first position to said second position;
- and
- a plurality of removable hand therapy modules disposed in said housing, said plurality of hand therapy modules including:
- a therapeutic elastic band module, said therapeutic elastic band module comprising a plurality of therapeutic elastic bands having different resistances for progressively exercising a hand;
- a wrap module comprising a stretchable fabric adapted to wrap around said first finger to apply a therapeutic pressure thereto;
- and
- a pressure sensor ball comprising:
- a compressible ball;
- an inner spherical body disposed in a center of the compressible ball;
- and
- a plurality of radial force sensors distributed across an exterior surface of the inner spherical body.
