The Reciprocal Sanding Unit is a therapeutic tool designed to enhance upper limb strength, coordination, and controlled movement during rehabilitation. Ideal for occupational therapy and hand therapy settings, this equipment facilitates repetitive forearm motions such as pronation, supination, and mid-pronation-supination — essential for restoring daily functional skills.

Crafted from durable hardwood, the unit features an adjustable inclined base (100 x 30 cm), allowing therapists to modify resistance and angle according to patient progress. The integrated smooth pulley system ensures fluid, controlled sanding motions, promoting joint mobilization without strain.

Three interchangeable sanding blocks support varied grasp patterns:

1. Neutral (mid-pronation/supination) grasp – for balanced wrist control.
2. Pronation grasp – for palm-down forearm rotation exercises.
3. Hump grip (dorsal extension grasp) – encourages wrist extension and grip strengthening.

The table-top design allows convenient placement on therapy tables or workstations, making it suitable for both clinical and home rehabilitation use.
