Moves Flex-Ion Hand and Finger Exerciser | Blue | 3.2kg per Finger

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

They are suitable for home use and for physiotherapists, occupational therapists and other rehabilitation professionals. 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

You typically start with a lighter resistance and increase the level as your strength improves.

General Use

Use the Flex-Ion when muscle strength, range of motion or coordination has declined—such as after a stroke, spinal injury, surgery, accident or sports injury, or following immobilization from a fracture cast. For optimal recovery, consult a specialist (physiotherapist, occupational therapist, etc.) to determine the appropriate exercises and the correct resistance level. Starting with too high resistance can worsen symptoms.

Tip of the Finger Grip

Hold the device so your fingertips rest on the buttons and your thumb is placed on the lever. Bend your fingers simultaneously as if making a fist, pressing down the buttons. Move slowly and comfortably, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Full Hand Grip

Grip the Flex-Ion so your fingers meet your thumb across from them. Squeeze all together, pressing all buttons. Hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Single-Finger Squeeze

Place your index finger on one button and your thumb opposite it. Bend both to press the button. Move slowly, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times. Then switch to the middle finger and repeat with each finger.

Fingertip Press

Hold the device with your fingertips on the buttons and thumb opposite. Bend your fingers simultaneously, pressing the buttons. Move slowly, hold for a few seconds, then release. Repeat 10–15 times.

Thumb Pinch

Hold the device with your index finger underneath and your thumb on the first button. Press the first button with your thumb.

Trigger Pull

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

These are just a few examples! Your therapist can guide you through many other movements.

Recommendations

• Move slowly and comfortably, holding the buttons down for a few seconds before releasing.
• Repeat each movement 10–15 times.
• You may start with fewer reps—aim to increase daily.
• Avoid overdoing it to prevent pain from overexertion. Patience and gradual progression are key!
• Once you reach the target reps for an exercise, move on to the next.
• After completing the series, repeat the entire cycle.
• Your therapist will help design the program, set reps, monitor progress and adjust resistance over time to rebuild strength.
