CanDo® Digi-Extend n' Squeeze® Hand Exercisers ~ Develops finger, hand and forearm strength, flexibility and coordination.
It combines best features of Digi-Extend® and Digi-Squeeze®.
Key Features:
Reciprocal Exercise:
Unlike standard squeeze balls, this device includes hooks for resistance bands to allow for extension (opening) exercises.
Finger Isolation:
Targeted indentations help develop coordination and strength in individual fingers.
Available in Small and Medium to fit different hand spans comfortably.
Latex-Free Bands:
Each unit includes four levels of extension bands (from extra-light to medium).
Flexion Resistance Levels:
The core ball's "squeeze" resistance is color-coded by firmness:
🟡Yellow: Extra-Light
🔴Red: Light
🟢Green: Medium
🔵Blue: Heavy
⚫ Black: Extra-Heavy
Basic Usage Guidelines:
Flexion (Squeezing):
Place fingers in the gray indentations. Squeeze the ball toward the center of your palm.
Extension (Opening):
Hook the latex-free bands over your fingertips and extend your fingers outward against the resistance.
Positioning:
Ensure the product name faces away from your palm for correct alignment.
Stability:
Keep your wrist straight during exercises and use your other hand to stabilize the device if needed.
The rubber bands on the Digi-Extend n' Squeeze are for extension exercises, which work the muscles responsible for opening your hand and straightening your fingers.
While most stress balls only let you squeeze (flexion), these bands allow you to strengthen the opposing muscles.
Specific Uses:
Muscular Balance:
Prevents "texting thumb" or RSI by balancing the strong squeezing muscles with the weaker opening muscles.
Finger Extension:
Directly targets the extensor tendons, which is helpful for recovering from tendon injuries or surgery.
Isolated Strength:
You can hook a band over just one finger to work on individual finger weakness or "trigger finger."
Coordination:
Helps improve the range of motion and dexterity needed for tasks like typing or playing an instrument.
How to Use Them:
Looping:
Place the small latex-free bands over the hooks on the ball.
Placement:
Put your fingertips (or fingernails) into the loops of the bands.
The Move:
Open your hand and stretch your fingers outward, away from the ball, against the band's resistance.
