Finger Exercise Equipment

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a finger exercise device, and more particularly, to a finger exercise device that can be used by various users or for various purposes by allowing an elastic force or a range of motion to be selected.

The finger exercises and the hand exercises help the fingers and the palms of the hands to perform the exercises to improve the grip strength by using easily by all persons including the patients. This helps to increase muscle strength and maintain healthy brains through exercise.

For reference, anatomically, 30% of the cerebellum is involved in the hand center. Hand and brain are closely related. In other words, when the finger is moved consciously, the brain is activated by stimulating a wide area of the brain. In order to maintain a healthy brain and prevent aging, it is necessary to use a finger exercise machine.

In addition, specialist musicians such as piano, stringed instrument, woodwind, brass, guitar, and drum, which mainly use fingers, can perform the best performance by feeling the state and sound of the instrument through the sense transmitted to the tip of the finger, Therefore, the necessity of training to develop the smooth movement of the finger and its touch feeling can be emphasized again. In other words, the finger exercises are also necessary to keep these players' finger senses in the best condition.

In addition, a patient who has an abnormality in the finger joint, an athlete, or an operator who uses a lot of fingers needs a treatment or exercise to repeatedly exercise the bending and stretching motion of the finger joint. For this purpose, Utility Model Registration No. 0329571 discloses a motion band for finger joint motion. However, this exercise band has to bear the elastic resistance of the elastic band in the bending operation of the finger directly, and it is required to be applied to the user who does not fit the physical condition and situation of the user, There is a difficult problem to use for the people.

In addition, the utility model registration No. 0328509 enables the finger joint motion to be passively enabled by winding the wire with the motor, so that it can be used for patients having difficulty in active joint movement. However, during the movement of the joint, There is a problem that the joints may be adversely affected.
