Universal muscular conditioning device

A universal muscular conditioning device, comprising:

• an orthopedic joint wrap comprising an elongate web of flexible material and including a first end and an opposite second end with respective first and second cooperating adjustable closure means disposed thereon, said adjustable closure means providing for the adjustable and removable securing of said wrap about a limb joint of a user of said device;
• said wrap further including a plurality of upper lateral sleeves, a plurality of corresponding lower lateral sleeves aligned therewith to form a lateral sleeve group comprising lateral pairs of single upper and lower lateral sleeves having a joint axis opening therebetween, and a plurality of upper medial sleeves, and a plurality of corresponding lower medial sleeves aligned therewith to form a medial sleeve group comprising medial pairs of single upper and lower medial sleeves having a joint axis opening therebetween and;
• at least two bidirectionally acting frictionally resistant elements each having a first arm including a first friction joint end having a passage formed completely therethrough, an opposite second arm including a second friction joint end having a blind hole formed partially therethrough, a resilient plug installed through said passage and into said blind hole, wherein said plug substantially fills and binds against said passage and said blind hole, to form a friction joint, providing frictional resistance to rotational movement between said first and second arms, and plug closure means for compressively securing said resilient plug within said passage and said blind hole, each of said frictionally resistant elements being selectively and removably inserted into one of said lateral and medial pairs of sleeves with each said friction joint being positioned within said joint axis opening of said wrap.
