More Information
- Knob Turn:
– Functional Simulations:
Opening a door, tightening a jar, pushing a lid onto a container, tightening a valve, holding a glass of water, opening makeup containers
– Joint Protection Techniques:
Can teach using a C grip to avoid ulnar stress to MP joints and/or, using pressure proximal to the thumb IP joint with grip to decrease loading to the CMC joint. - Key Turn:
– Functional Simulations:
Turning a key, holding onto a paper folder, throwing a Frisbee, holding a clothespin open, pinching your spouse.
– Joint Protection Techniques:
Can teach the use of an intrinsic hold instead of a lateral pinch to decrease repetitive stress to the CMC joint and ulnar deviation to the MP joints. - Cap Turn:
– Functional Simulations:
Opening/closing a water bottle, turning on a stove, tightening a large bolt
– Joint Protection Techniques:
Can teach using a C grasp instead of a standard grip when opening a water bottle to avoid ulnar stress to MP joints and loading to the CMC joint. - Peg Turn:
– Functional Simulations:
Turning a bolt/nut, pushing a button, picking up a pen, holding a straw, tightening a small knob
– Joint Protection Techniques:
Can teach using an intrinsic hold to decrease ulnar stress to MP joints and using proximal thumb or web-space to produce hold rather than thumb tip to decrease CMC stress. - L-Bar:
– Functional Simulations:
Pulling a vacuum, sweeping (functional grip with forearm pro-nation and supination), using a hammer, operating a throttle on a motorcycle
– Joint Protection Techniques:
Can teach using a neutral hold technique to avoid ulnar stress to MP joints and/or using larger joints to produce the movement to decrease loading to smaller joints. - Warning:
– Puttycise tools can cause serious injury when not used properly.
– Use Puttycise tools only upon the recommendation and under direction of a licensed health care professional.
– Puttycise tools are designed to be a form of exercise equipment and should not be used for play purposes.
– Puttycise should not be used by children unless under qualified adult supervision.
