Abstract
A finger exercise device which allows a user to move his/her fingers against resistance while allowing the user to perform different types of finger movement, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, etc. The device also provides a finger exerciser that will allow the user to exercise an individual finger or a combination of fingers and which will allow the user to select the degree of resistance placed on the finger movement. By use of a pulley system that provides for even distribution of load on active fingers, and a weight unit that provides variable resistance, finger exercise is performed by placing fingertips in finger rests located in slots and moving the fingertips outwardly or inwardly against the resistance of the weight unit.
