The patented Ultimate Hand Helper
makes it easy to preferentially exercise specific muscle and tendon groups
of the hand and forearm. The exerciser’s exclusive hand-conforming design
promotes comfort and provides the ultimate in hand exercise versatility.
The instruction booklet, included with each Hand Helper, illustrates a
variety of options for developing strength, coordination and range of
motion of the hand and forearm muscle and tendon groups.
Combining these exercises in a
single session supports improved overall hand function.
Gentle Exercise
Gentle exercising with the Ultimate Hand Helper using light resistance elastic
bands is beneficial in maintaining joint mobility and range of motion of
the hand. With everyday use, the Ultimate Hand Helper helps to restore flexibility,
relieve joint stiffness and improve overall strength. Increased
circulation helps to ease hand pain associated with arthritic or
cumulative trauma disorders, such as
carpal tunnel.
The following exercises have been developed to keep
your hands useful and active. The Hand Helper product line promotes
easy-to-use exercisers that help users gently exercise the muscle and
tendon groups of the hand and forearm. Daily exercise improves
circulation to relieve joint stiffness, restore flexibility, and help to
rebuild hand strength.
There are four exercises developed specifically for
the Ultimate Hand Helper (fingertip flexion, middle finger flexion, finger base
knuckle joint flexion and composite flexion) that preferentially exercise
specific muscle and tendon groups of the hand and forearm. All of these
exercises can be combined or performed individually to address specific
hand concerns. To fit smaller hands, attach the Range Limiting Clips
included with the exerciser to each side of the frame. The four exercises below were
developed specifically for the Ultimate Hand Helper. Before starting, please take a
moment to warm up with a few good stretches.
The exercise
variations should be performed in any session unless otherwise advised by
a therapist. To fit smaller hands, attach the Range Limiting Clips
included with the exerciser to each side of the frame.
