CanDo 10-2296 Digi-Extend n' Squeeze Hand Exerciser with Stand, Large, 5-piece Set, Yellow through Black

I am a stoke victim rehabbing left hand and fingers. This is an awesome but inexpensive item that exercises weak finger muscles in the hand (extension). Rehab will likely take a long time.

Great item - currently using the green ball and red bands = was introduced in 2014 following CTS and ulnar nerve surgeries. Had surgery repeated in 2017 and have completed a 12 week course of physio - do not want to have to go thru surgery ever again and really hope continued use of the various cando products will maintain my hand/arm fitness

My occupational therapist taught me several exercises with a ball and ordinary rubber band. I had difficultly finding the right sized ball and keeping the rubber bands in place. Then we discovered this Digi-Extend n'Squeeze. It is so much easier to get the right positions for the exercises and everything stays in place! Plus there are more exercises to achieve exactly the muscle movement needed. I like that I can move up to stronger rubber bands on the device. I knocked off one star because threading the rubber bands into the clips is very difficult, especially for someone needing hand therapy and because some of the bases of those clips protrude from the ball during many of the exercises, indicating to me that the ball may not last long. (It would be essentially useless if one of the clips holding the band became detached from the ball.)

I bought this for my 11 year old daughter for softball. As a weightlifter I have had numerous grip strengtheners. Most put emphasis on the palm. I chose this because she needs to built strength in the fingers to get her glove closed tight. She has a newer mitt and it's still stiff. This worked IDEAL for that. The ball does not sit in your palm but rather on the fingers where you compress and extend. You do NOT need to go with a very stiff ball.

The squeeze ball is great but unfortunately, the elastics break very easily. I noticed that mine were very dry and brittle and I have snapped many of them so far. I really wish the elastics were more durable because the product is otherwise good.

These are excellent for improving hand and forearm strength. Highly recommend. You can work both extension and flexion with this balls. Has improved my strength tremendously.

buena para terapia vale la inversión

I bought this for my wife who tore loose the tendon on her left ring finger (called a Mallet Finger), at the request of her physical therapist. After using this for this period of time since I bought it, she can now bend it almost to her palm. Her orthopedics doctor said it will take a long time to get almost back to normal. But she is improving so it is worth the cost. The main point here is to continue using it regularly. It is made of materials that will last a long time and the rubber bands are graduated into different thicknesses to help strengthen the finger. It was a good choice to help my Love.

Diesen Ball habe ich für meine Schwiegermutter nach einem Schlaganfall bestellt. Dank der verschiedenen Gummis sind verschiedene Scheierigkeitsgrade möglich. Sowohl das Schließen als auch das Öffnen der Hand kann trainiert werden. Bei uns hat es als Ergänzung zu den Therapien in der Reha und daheim fungiert und wurde auch von den Therapeuten als positiv bewertet. Die Beschreibung war leider mur englisch, aber intuitiv, weiß man, dynk der Bilder, was zu tun ist

Mi chico está encantado cn la power ball. 💪💪💪

This product has been a great help to my husband after suffering a stroke

Compré este producto para rehabilitación de mano por una fractura, funciona muy bien, 5 niveles de fuerza para aplicar, las ligas están un poco complicadas, pero se pueden hacer por fuera, gran costo-beneficio

Poor quality
