Description

Place the back of your hand on a table with an elastic band around your fingers. Use your other hand to stabilize the hand you are working on. Slowly spread your thumb away from your other fingers, controlling the movement against the resistance of the elastic band. Then slowly return to the starting position without letting the elastic band pull you back.
