FAQs

Who is the hand grip exerciser ball suitable for?

The grip ball is suitable for anyone working to rebuild hand strength or finger dexterity, including people recovering from stroke, hand or wrist surgery, or fractures, those managing arthritis or Parkinson's disease, and anyone whose grip strength has reduced due to age or inactivity. It is also used preventively by people who want to maintain hand strength.

How often should I use a grip exerciser?

For rehabilitation purposes, most occupational therapists recommend short, regular sessions, typically 10–15 minutes, two to three times a day, rather than one long session. Always follow your healthcare provider's guidance on frequency and intensity, particularly after surgery or stroke where overexertion can slow healing.

Is this suitable for someone who has had a stroke and has weakness on one side?

Yes. The grip ball can be used in the affected hand to encourage movement and rebuild strength, or in the unaffected hand to maintain strength while the other recovers. It is a commonly recommended home exercise tool during stroke rehabilitation. If you are unsure whether it is appropriate for your specific situation, check with your occupational therapist or physiotherapist first.

Can children or younger adults use this as well as seniors?

Yes. Grip exerciser balls are used across all age groups, for sports injury recovery, post-surgical rehabilitation, stress relief, and general hand conditioning. The soft squeezable material makes it accessible for people of varying strength levels.

What is the finger splint used for and who needs it?

The finger splint (also called a resting hand splint or finger separator board) is designed for people whose fingers curl inward or cannot be fully extended - a common issue after stroke, brain
injury, or neurological conditions that cause hand spasticity. It holds the fingers in a gently extended, separated resting position to reduce muscle tightness, prevent contracture, and support gradual functional recovery.

It is suitable for left or right hand, fits most adults, and can be worn for extended periods including during sleep. Always consult your occupational therapist or physiotherapist before starting use to ensure correct ositioning and wearing schedule for your specific condition.

Home Rehabilitation: Supporting Recovery Between Sessions

Hand rehabilitation after stroke, brain injury, or surgery typically involves two complementary goals - rebuilding strength in a weakened hand, and managing spasticity or contracture in a hand that curls or clenches involuntarily. Our recovery range addresses both.

For strengthening, the grip exerciser ball provides progressive resistance for rebuilding hand and finger strength through regular daily exercise. For spasticity management and positioning, the finger resting splint holds the hand open in a functional position during rest and sleep - reducing tightness and supporting longer-term functional recovery.

Used together as part of a home exercise programme, these two products complement each other well. Always follow your occupational therapist or physiotherapist's guidance on how and when to use each.
