Supinator & Pronator (Zig-Zag Type)

The Supinator & Pronator Zig-Zag Type is a manual upper limb exercise and rehabilitation device designed to support wrist, forearm, hand, finger, and shoulder coordination exercises. It is commonly used in physiotherapy centres, rehabilitation clinics, occupational therapy units, hospitals, neuro-rehab departments, pediatric therapy setups, and personal rehabilitation spaces where guided upper extremity movement training is required.

This zig-zag supinator and pronator helps users perform controlled movement patterns by sliding colored rings across a wire maze. The activity supports range of motion training, forearm supination and pronation practice, hand-eye coordination, finger control, wrist mobility, and crossing-midline activity. Its simple manual operation makes it practical for therapists who need an easy-to-use tool for repetitive movement practice during therapy sessions.

Built with a wooden base and mild steel wire maze, the device provides a stable structure for repeated clinical use. The 9 mm thick wire maze includes 4 U-turns and 2 half turns, allowing the patient to move the rings through a structured zig-zag pathway. It is useful for patients with limited upper extremity movement, reduced coordination, post-injury stiffness, neurological rehabilitation needs, or fine motor skill training requirements under professional supervision.
