Moves Flex-Ion Hand and Finger Exerciser | Red | 1.4kg per finger

The Flex-Ion devices are designed to restore strength, flexibility and coordination in the fingers, hand and forearm muscles.

They can be used at home or by a physiotherapist, movement therapist or rehab specialist.

Resistance is indicated by different colors:

• Beige: 0.35 kg per finger, 1.1 kg per hand
• Yellow: 0.7 kg per finger, 2.3 kg per hand
• Red: 1.4 kg per finger, 4.5 kg per hand
• Green: 2.3 kg per finger, 7.3 kg per hand
• Blue: 3.2 kg per finger, 10.4 kg per hand
• Black: 4.1 kg per finger, 14.1 kg per hand

Start with a lighter resistance and move to higher levels as your strength improves.

General Use

Use Flex-Ion when muscle strength, range of motion or coordination have declined—often after stroke, spinal injury or surgery, but also following accidents, sports injuries or immobilization in a cast. For proper rehabilitation and to regain original function, consult a professional (physiotherapist, movement therapist, etc.). They will prescribe exercises and help you choose the correct resistance. Beginning too strong may worsen symptoms due to overexertion.

Finger-tip Grip

Hold Flex-Ion so your fingertips rest on the buttons and your thumb locks against the device. Bend all fingers at once as if making a fist, pressing the keys. Perform slow, controlled movements: hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Full-hand Grip

Hold Flex-Ion so your fingers reach your opposing thumb. Squeeze all fingers together, pressing every key. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Single-finger Squeeze

Place your index finger on one key and your thumb opposite it. Bend both to press the key, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times. Switch to each finger in turn.

Fingertips

Hold Flex-Ion with your fingertips on the buttons and thumb opposite. Bend all fingers together, pressing the keys. Hold, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Thumb Pinch

Hold the device with the index finger underneath and thumb on the first key. Pinch the key with your thumb.

Trigger Pull

Grip the device and place your index finger on the second key. Press as if pulling a trigger.

These are just examples! A therapist can teach many more movements tailored to your needs.

Suggestions

• Perform movements slowly and comfortably. Hold the buttons for a few seconds, then release.
• Repeat each exercise 10–15 times.
• It’s normal to manage fewer repetitions at first. Aim to increase day by day.
• Avoid overdoing it; weak muscles can be strained, causing pain. Patience and gradual progress are key!
• Once you complete one exercise, move to the next. After finishing all, repeat the series.
• Your therapist will guide exercise selection and repetition counts, monitor progress and adjust resistance as needed. Gradual increases are essential for regaining strength!
