Title: Method of enhancing bimanual dexterity

Abstract: A method for enhancing bimanual dexterity of a person having a dominant arm and hand and a nondominant arm and hand which comprises having the person participate in an athletic exercise wherein a bouncing ball is projected toward the person equipped in each hand with an implement for striking the ball and returning it in the direction from which it was projected, the implement employed in the nondominant hand having substantially better physical characteristics for striking the ball than the implement employed in the dominant hand. This is useful in physical therapy for persons handicapped in one arm or otherwise not able to use that arm with normal facility; and it is also useful to provide the normal individual having strength and skill with one arm a method of increasing the strength and skill of the other arm.
