The Jux-A-Cisor is a versatile range-of-motion (ROM) exercise device designed to help exercise and mobilize the fingers, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder. Its plastic-coated tempered-steel wire features 25 different twists and turns, creating a progressive path that challenges upper-extremity range of motion, coordination, strength, and stamina. The user moves the white circular disk around the bends in the wire while maintaining a comfortable grip on the thick padded handle. Its straightforward design makes it suitable for use in occupational therapy, physical therapy, rehabilitation programs, and home exercise. It can also be used to isolate specific joints or to work the entire upper extremity.
The Jux-A-Cisor can be used by therapists in clinical settings or incorporated into a patient's home exercise program. For an additional challenge, the exercise can be performed with a time limit or other therapist-directed modifications. Using two units can allow bilateral exercises or group therapy activities. The user holds the padded handle and guides the circular disk through the various bends of the coated wire. The different twists and turns require controlled movement of the upper extremity, allowing the device to be used for range-of-motion and coordination exercises. The manufacturer describes it as a device for exercising the fingers, hand, wrist, elbow, and shoulder.
Note: Exercise intensity and any modifications should be selected according to the user's abilities and the recommendations of an appropriate healthcare professional.
