Prohands Gripmaster Medical Hand and Finger Exerciser

Hands down, it's great for improving strength. It's well designed and fits the hand so that whole hand exercises can be done or individual fingers.

This beautifully constructed tool is exactly what our genius-constructed hands need to maintain or regain their fullest capabilities. I dedicatedly used my hands from age 3 onward, as a musician, artist, craftsperson, woodcarver, webpage designer, etc. until they began to falter in the last few years. Having exhibited no true regard for the wellbeing of those amazing living instruments, I overused my very strong and nimble hands mercilessly over a relatively long lifetime, caused bouts of locked fingers, stiffness, and lately, the diminishing of small motor skills. Grip strength was reduced to abysmal from a shoulder accident and when I started dropping things, I lost confidence in my ability to resurrect these most necessary tools of the human trade. But as the teacher arrives when the student is ready, I encountered the Gripmaster when one of my grandsons was given a Black Extra Strength for his rock climbing skills. Fortunately, he put it in a box to use here on vacations, and I promptly confiscated it. :-) Instantly, my hands were enthralled. They immediately started to show me what they could still do. My finger dexterity, grip strength and diminishing flexibility started returning immediately even on the Heavy Tension, but within two days I knew my hands needed their very own proper workout strength gym, and the Medium Green Rehab fit the bill perfectly. More comfortable due to its palm fitted sculptured form, and I'm already grabbing things before they fall out of my hand mindlessly. Typing is vastly improved already and all parts of my hands and arms are getting into the act. Soon Gripmasters will be working their magic on one family member after another. This is one hell of a needed tool in a world that sits way too much, and I look forward to spreading the good news! Thanks, prohands.

Same quality as used in clinics. Does the job.

Overall I think this is an excellent hand exerciser for nearly any purpose. For general rehab i think its perfect, it's very ergonomic and comfortable for gross hand motions and can isolate the fingers nicely. The finger pads and palm grip are great. My only issue that i found was that i use this to build hand strength for rock climbing. I find that the palm grip is too deep and that a flatter surface would be much easier to isolate just the very tips of the fingers and thumbs for big crimps and pinches. The flatter surface would simply allow for thumb placement on any aspect of the palm grip evenly to get maximum leverage for single finger or claw pinches at any angle. Not a big deal and doesn't really detract too much from overall use but i notice that other versions of the same brand seem to address this very issue. satisfied none the less!

I bought the blue rehab model (7 lbs. - heavy tension). I have used hand grips for several years but recently noticed that my hands are stiff when I first use hand grips each day (I'm 63). I purchased this finger exerciser to use as a warm up before using hand grips (the finger exerciser has less tension than my hand grips). It works well. My hand doesn't feel stiff (or hurt) when I use this finger exerciser first thing in the morning before using hand grips, it loosens up my hand muscles so that it also doesn't hurt when I switch to the hand grips. My second reason for buying this exerciser was because I was wondering whether the hand grips were exercising all of my fingers. I found that actually, the hand grips did exercise all of my fingers so it wasn't necessary for that purpose. Although this exerciser will also ensure that each finger is strengthened. I recommend pressing your fingers down on the exerciser and holding them down for three or four seconds before raising them back up to build muscle strength.

Worked perfectly for my wifes' grip strength issue .

I am a senior citizen (66 years old) and purchased the green medium-resistance Hand/Finger Exercizer in order to strengthen my hands and wrists (they had grown weaker over time). The Gripmaster is very well-made, sturdy, fits comfortably in my hand, and was fairly easy to use (I don't have long fingers and my hand is short and chubby; so I can't say how it would be if you have extra large long hands). The Gripmaster comes with a pamphlet that shows photos of six suggested exercises (a few of them were totally impossible for me, so I am thinking of ordering the low-resistance yellow Gripmaster in order to build up certain muscles). The primary reason I chose this model was because it is exactly like the one I used while in Rehab at a nearby nursing facility I was staying in after surgery. I figured if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for me to use at home!

Quality appears great. Timely Amazon delivery. Grips are too small for my hand( I take an XL glove. Individual finer excersise springs are also too close together (for my hand)

Suite à une luxation + fracture du métacarpien 1 du pouce gauche j'avais déjà utilisé ce genre d'appareil chez mon kinésithérapeute. J'ai tout de suite chercher cet accessoire sur Amazon et me suis orienté sur ce model. Attention La version noire 4.1 kg a une forte pression. Livré avec une petite notice et des exercices, il existe des videos / tutos sur le web. Ah vous de voir les exercices nécessaires pour votre utilisation. Personnellement, je l'utilise dans tous les sens pour me rééduquer. Je le recommande vivement pour la rééducation et l'échauffement avant un effort (sport, instrument de musique...)

Der schwarze Gripmaster 4.1 kg ist ein nützliches Trainingsmittel für die Finger. Besonders nach dem ersten Tag "probieren" ist ein Muskelkater in den Unterarmen spürbar. Gitarristen müssen daher damit rechnen, dass sie einen Tag nach der Erstnutzung nur mühsam werden spielen können. Aber die Veränderung der Stärke beim Greifen und des Gefühls beim Anschlagen danach ist erstaunlich. Der Gripmaster 4.1 kg (schwarz) ist daher sehr empfehlenswert.

Made way better than I thought it would be. Good plastic quality and spring quality. Should last a long time. Like the individual finger workout. Can feel the difference compare to the hand grip exercise where it is only one bar you pull against. This is decently a more superior exercise. Yes I would recommend to a friend. Not super hard resistance, was expecting more. One thing I thought I should mention, its quiet. Compared to the single spring lever action, this is super quiet. Can easily watch tv while exercising. Exceeded my expectations. Really like it.

Bien ajustadas las teclas y silencioso cuando se usa

Bought this for someone whose MS relapse effected their hands, making them numb, crampy and weak. Regular use of this very portable (pocket-sized) tool has improved both the strength and dexterity of the muscles in her hands. I also enjoy using it, in much the same way as people sometimes fiddle with executive-toy type things or stress balls. I took a bit of a guess about the strength of this device (as there's quite a range to choose from) but this one seems about right for both of us... There's enough resistance to offer a challenge, but enough movement in the springs to allow satisfaction even on weaker hand days. I would recommend this for anyone... let's face it, no one's ever struggled with having hands that are too strong!
