A brace assists a user in regaining muscle mass during the back to work phase of joint injury recovery. The brace uses a resistance band that is attached to the upper arm and the lower arm of the brace. Proximate the arms' juncture point, a pair of gears is attached, one gear per arm with a gap between the gears. The gears rotate in lockstep with their respective arm. A variation piece has two sets of teeth, each set gearably mating with one of the gears so that rotation of the gears causes the variation piece to linearly extend and counter-rotation causes the variation piece to retract. A medial portion of the band is received by the variation piece so that as variation piece extends, it places additional tension on the band, which tension placement is reduced with variation piece retraction.
