Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  What is the hand exerciser made of?

A.  The hand exerciser is made of a patented non-latex polymer developed specifically to allow full range of motion of the hand and fingers with a consistent resistance throughout the exercise. 

Q.  How do you clean the hand exerciser?

A.  Wash with soap, allow to air dry, and lightly dust the exerciser with baby powder or corn starch.

Q.  What are the forces produced by the hand exercisers?

A.  The color of the hand exerciser indicates the force.  As the hand exerciser is compressed, the force increases.  At 50% compression, the following forces are produced - see tables above.

Q.  Why does the hand exerciser "break down"?

A.  The yellow hand exerciser is designed specifically for individuals with very weak grip strength, or post-operative patients.  The most common mistake is using the yellow hand exerciser for patients with high grip strength.  The high grip forces cause the exerciser to "break down" prematurely.  

Q.  How do I make my hand exerciser warm?

A.  Heat in microwave for 5 second increments and test to find the ideal time for each microwave unit (all microwaves are different), usually no more that 15 seconds maximum. 

Q.  How can I use it for cold therapy?

A.  Place the hand exerciser in a freezer for about 1 hour, which will make the exerciser cold for about 30 minutes. 

Q.  What are the advantages of the hand exerciser over putty?

A.  The hand exerciser can be heated of cooled.  The hand exerciser maintains its shape.  When used correctly, the hand exerciser doesn't "pick up" dirt, and can be easily cleaned.  Putty tends to get under the fingernails. 

Q.  How does the hand exerciser compare to other grip exercisers?

A.  The Thera-Band Hand Exerciser allows full range of motion with consistent resistance throughout the range and returns to its natural state.  It can also be heated or cooled.  The hand exerciser may also be washed. 

Q.  Which sizes of the hand exerciser should I use?

A.  2 sizes of the hand exerciser are available. Use the size most appropriate for the hand. 

Q.  What should we avoid when using the hand exerciser?

A.  It is important not to keep the hand exerciser under constant pressure (such as placing them under heavy objects for long periods of time).  Also, avoid pulling the ends apart or twisting the hand exerciser.
