Introduction:[edit | edit source]
Hand Exercises are used as an intervention that aims to improve the mobility and strength of the hand and therefore, improving the functional ability. Hand exercise may include:
- Mobilizing exercise (Increase or maintain range of motion)
- Strengthing exercise ( that use resistance from putty, a gel ball, or elastic band to strengthen hand and wrist muscles)[1]
There are many conditions that affect hand for example:
Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease and most frequently affects the hand.[2] This disease leads to pain in and around the affected joints and to swelling, stiffness, deformity, and gradual loss of function. As a result, the ability to perform daily tasks may become impaired or lost.[3]
