Stroke Recovery Device (with other applications)

thingiverse

This device is designed for anyone seeking to enhance finger strength. Crafted as a tapered cylinder with precision details such as holes, it instinctively encourages the wearer to straighten their fingers. The wearer can then flex their fingers against the resistance offered by the flexible filament, effectively engaging in exercise. This approach proves particularly beneficial for stroke recovery patients who have experienced loss of hand function, yet anyone can utilize it to improve overall hand strength. Additionally, a rigid filament version can be created by applying the same principle that allows stretchy bracelets to work. The necessary print settings can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/LesHall/StrokeRecovery.
