Hand Therapy Exercises: Advanced
If you’ve mastered beginner at-home hand therapy exercises, you may be looking for something to continue to challenge the small muscles and fine motor skills of your hands. Read on for our therapist-approved at-home advanced hand therapy exercises to challenge yourself and keep progressing your hand movement abilities.
Weighted Wrist Flexion Exercises. Place your arm on a table or flat surface with the hand hanging off and the palm facing the floor. Gently lift the hand as much as you can bending at the wrist while keeping the arm on the flat surface. Once you can do this comfortably with no weight, add a light weight or water bottle to challenge yourself. Repeat 10 times.
Pen Rotation. Take a pen and use your thumb, index, and ring fingers to rotate the pen around your middle finger.
Pen slides. Hold the pen in a normal writing position and then slight the pen forward until you’re holding the end of the pen. Once you’re at the end of the pen, inch the pen back up to the writing position.
Pick up holds. Take a small object, like uncooked beans or pennies, and pick up each item individually. Hold the item in the hand you are using to pick them up, and continue picking up more objects while holding the other objects.
