Abstract:
Disclosed is a hand and arm support assembly for use by a user or patient to rehabilitate a hand of the patient. The hand and arm support assembly includes a hand actuator assembly and a forearm rest assembly. The hand actuator assembly provides a support for a hand engagement assembly having a housing and hand actuator rod engagement members projecting upwards therefrom to engage the hand of the patient. The housing is rotatable to accommodate the position of the patient's hand and the rod engagement members are adapted to travel along slots towards and away from one another. The forearm rest assembly includes a first carriage and a second carriage to support the forearm and elbow of the patient. The first and second carriage can pivot about an axis relative to the housing to further accommodate the position of the patient's arm and elbow.
