3. **Hand Therapy Balls:** These are soft, squeezable balls that can help with grip strength and finger dexterity. They come in various resistance levels.
4. **Hand and Finger Exercisers:** These devices have various attachments and features to target different aspects of hand and finger rehabilitation, such as finger extensions and flexions.
5. **Theraputty or Therapy Putty:** It's a flexible, putty-like material that can be molded and squeezed to improve hand strength and coordination.
6. **Wrist and Forearm Exercisers:** These machines target not only the hand but also the wrist and forearm muscles, which are important for overall hand function.
