Abstract
A wrist and forearm range-of-motion exercising device includes a first member adapted to be secured to a portion of the hand, a second member adapted to be secured to a portion of the upper arm and interconnecting means, including a one-way clutch, for interconnecting the members and providing unidirectional rotation along the axis of interconnection. The device retains the forearm in the position to which it is rotated under the control of the patient or as assisted by a therapist. A tension release device may be actuated to allow the forearm to return to the relaxed position.
