Therapeutic exercise Putty for hand therapy is used to strengthen the hands and fingers to improve finger strength – in all planes of motion, hand grip force, and thumb opposable functionality. Occupational and physical therapists often use it in rehabilitation environments to overcome weakness due to injury, surgery, illness, stroke and other disorders that affect grip strength, finger coordination, muscle tone, and dexterity deficits.
Like other resistance training devices, Theraputty comes in varying viscosities to provide different levels of resistance and is color coded similar to resistance bands.
