Abstract

The present invention is an exercise asembly for providing yielding resistance to the hand in both extension-abduction and flexion-adduction. Broadly, this comprises a compression member for being resiliently squeezed during flexion-adduction of the hand, and a tension member mounted to the compression member for being resiliently stetched during entension-abduction. The tension includes an elastomeric main cord having an upper end and a lower end to which a thumb loop is attached. A plurality of finger loops are attached to secondary cords that extend from the upper end of the main cord in a predetermined angular relationship. The angular relationship corresponds to optimal force vectors that are developed in proper functioning of the hand. The upper end of the main cord may include a web portion for stabiolizing the secondary cord in the predetermined angular relationship.
