Active Shoulder Rotator

Abstract

The disclosure relates to an active shoulder rotator comprising a base and a support plate. A support assembly attaches the support plate to the base. A track extends into a bottom of the support plate. A roller body assembly including slidable Teflon-based objects is coupled to, or within, one or more tracks. A strap is coupled to the roller body assembly and is configured for securing to a hand of a user such that movement of the roller body assembly via the roller body within a track facilitates movement of the shoulder and upper arm of the user.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An active shoulder rotator comprising:
 a base;   a vertical tube connected to the base;   an elbow connected to the vertical tube;   a track plate connected to the elbow and comprising one or more track rings;   wherein the track rings are configured to contain one or more roller body assemblies comprising one or more slidable teflon-based objects.   
     
     
         2 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein the connection between the elbow and vertical tube allows the height of the track plate to be adjusted relative to the base. 
     
     
         3 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , further comprising a baseplate connected to the base on the opposite side of the base from the connection to the vertical tube. 
     
     
         4 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , further comprising rubber feet connected to the base. 
     
     
         5 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , further comprising a strap connected to the carabiner. 
     
     
         6 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein the roller body assembly comprises:
 a connection bar attached to a rotatable ball; and   wherein the connection bar is capable of connecting to a carabiner.   
     
     
         7 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 6 , wherein the carabiner connects to a strap. 
     
     
         8 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 6 , wherein the roller body assembly is capable of freely rolling or rotating within a track ring of the track plate via the slidable teflon-based objects. 
     
     
         9 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 6 , wherein the slidable teflon-based objects comprise a circular region. 
     
     
         10 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises two legs with an elbow on each leg. 
     
     
         11 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein the two legs of the base are ribbed. 
     
     
         12 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein there are between three and five track rings. 
     
     
         13 . The active shoulder rotator of  claim 1 , wherein the slidable teflon-based objects range from ½ inch to 4 inches long by ¼ inch to 1 inch wide by ¼ inch to 1 inch high.
