Quick Overview/Summary of Therapy Putty
Create an individual, graded exercise program. Composed of silicon rubber.
Theraputty is also a wonderful tool to aid in hand and arm rehabilitation. It’s one of the modalities and tools that I used with my hand therapy patients, when appropriate.
Squeezing
and working with theraputty strengthen intrinsic hand and finger muscles. These
muscles are necessary for fine motor activities, such as holding utensils,
including pencils and cutlery; manipulating scissors; and dressing and
undressing.
The premium North Coast TheraPutty is composed of silicon rubber and is
completely latex free. It features eight grades of colour coded putty for
individualised hand and sensory therapy. It can be used to provide an
individual, graded strengthening program for individual fingers or the entire
hand and helps promote increased range of motion, strengthening and tendon
gliding.
Each colour-coded putty has a different consistency ranging from xx-soft for strengthening the weakest grasp to extra-firm for developing a stronger grip.
For the appropriate strength of theraputty for your individual needs, it is recommended you consult your hand therapist or occupational therapist.
Therapists, patients and children alike love theraputty for fun sensory stimulation games and hand strengthening exercises.
Sensory stimulation can significantly improve restlessness, hyperactivity and concentration in a person with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADD or ADHD or other sensory disorders.
Playing with theraputty is a great way for children to achieve sensory stimulation
