Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif (41) conçu pour exercer les doigts, la main, le poignet et l'avant-bras d'un utilisateur. Ledit dispositif (41) comprend des tiges flexibles (40) en matériau composite. La résistance à la flexion des tiges (40) crée la résistance nécessaire pour l'exercice. Les tiges (40) qui s'étendent parallèlement à la main de l'utilisateur lui permettent d'effectuer d'autres fonctions avec ses mains pendant qu'il porte le dispositif selon l'invention. Les tiges (40) et le dispositif (41) peuvent contenir des agents antimicrobiens afin d'empêcher la prolifération de micro-organismes.
