Hand therapy is the art and science of evaluating and treating injuries and conditions of the upper extremity (shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand). It uses a number of therapeutic interventions to help return a person to their highest level of function. Home exercise programmes are important to allow the patient to progress between therapy sessions. Hand therapy products that can be used for home treatment includes the grip trainer, hand therapy balls, and therapeutic putty. Hand therapy has a crucial role in the recovery from injury of the hand or wrist, and in the recovery from hand surgery. Exercise tips for patients: Finger Scissor: • Roll the putty into a ball and squeeze it between your fingers. Finger Spread: • Take your putty and stretch it out. Wrap it around 2 fingers to form a donut shape and spread your fingers apart.
