Wrist and forearm exercise device

Abstract

A wrist and forearm exercise device includes first and second handle sections each having an elongated generally tubular shape. A central pin can be disposed between the handle sections to limit all movement other than independent radial movement of each handle section. A plurality of resistance members extend between the handle sections and are attached to posts that extend perpendicular to the major axis of the device. A pair of knobs are provided along the distal ends of the handles. The knobs function to permit exercise of the hands and forearms through ulnar and radial deviation of the wrists, whereas the handle sections permit exercise of the hands and forearms through flexion and extension movements of the wrists.

1 . An exercise device, comprising:
 a first handle section having a proximal end and a distal end;   a second handle section having a proximal end and a distal end;   a pin that is interposed between the proximal end of the first handle section and the proximal end of the second handle;   a plurality of posts that are positioned along the first handle section and the second handle section; and   at least one resistance member that is in communication with one of the plurality of posts on the first handle section and one of the plurality of posts on the second handle section.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the first handle section and the second handle section are configured to independently rotate along a major axis of the device. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one resistance member is removably secured to the one post on the first handle section and the one post on the second handle. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the at least one resistance member comprises:
 a helical extension spring.   
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first and second handle sections include an elongated tubular-shaped member that are configured to receive a users hands to perform a flexion and extension exercise. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein each of the first and second handle sections include an identical shape and construction material. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a first knob that is disposed along the distal end of the first handle section; and   a second knob that is positioned along the distal end of the second handle section,   said first and second knobs being configured to receive a user's hands to perform an ulnar and radial deviation exercise.   
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein each of the first and second handle sections include an identical shape and construction material.
