Therapeutic exercise device

摘要

A therapeutic exercise device includes an elongated, hollow tube having a sleeve slidably and rotatably mounted thereon. The sleeve is held on the tube by a pair of opposing retainers, each having a rounded end cap attached thereto. Either cap is removable to expose an interior chamber for receiving a desired number of weighted cylinders that vary the overall weight of the tube. Accordingly, a user loads the chamber with a desired number of weighted cylinders and grasps the tube with one hand. The sleeve is grasped and reciprocally rotated with the other hand to exert the hand, wrist and forearm muscles.

1. A therapeutic exercise device comprising:
an elongated, hollow tube having a pair of opposing, open ends in communication with an interior chamber; a number of desired weighted cylinders received within said interior chamber, each of said cylinders insertable into or removable from either of said opposing open ends to vary an overall weight of said tube; a rotatable sleeve on said tube that is reciprocally rolled with either hand to perform various exercises that target wrist, hand and forearm muscles, said sleeve slidable on said tube to allow a user to longitudinally reposition said sleeve relative to said tube to vary a relative orientation of an exerciser's hands during an exercise regimen; a retainer attached to each of said two opposing ends that prevents said sleeve and said tube from separating, wherein said retainer includes a collar having a diameter greater than a diameter of both the sleeve and the tube; an end cap removably fastened to said collar, said end cap having a hemispherical outer portion and a cylindrical inner portion for blunting the end of said tube; a threaded post extending from the cylindrical inner portion of said end cap that threadedly engages said collar to removably secure said end cap to said tube.
