Finger Extension

The Finger Extension board is an innovative rehabilitation and hand therapy device designed to improve finger extension, dexterity, grip control, and fine motor coordination through engaging therapeutic activities. Combining functional rehabilitation with interactive gameplay, the Finger Extension board encourages repetitive finger movements that help restore hand function while keeping patients motivated throughout their therapy programme.

Manufactured from durable heavy pressed board with non-slip feet, the Finger Extension board provides a stable working surface for a variety of hand therapy exercises. One side features a traditional checkerboard game, while the reverse side offers a solitaire jumping game, allowing therapists to incorporate different therapeutic activities into treatment sessions. The set includes 32 durable plastic checkers fitted with Velcro® hook material, requiring patients to actively lift, grasp, place, and release each piece during play.

Ideal for occupational therapy, physiotherapy, neurological rehabilitation, paediatric therapy, and hand therapy clinics, the Finger Extension board transforms repetitive rehabilitation exercises into enjoyable functional activities that promote improved upper limb performance.

Why Choose the Finger Extension Board?

The Finger Extension board has been specifically designed to target finger extension and controlled grasp-and-release movements, which are essential for restoring functional hand use following injury, surgery, stroke, or neurological conditions.

Unlike traditional strengthening exercises, the interactive game-based design keeps patients engaged while encouraging repetitive movement patterns that promote motor learning and improved hand function. The Velcro®-backed checkers provide gentle resistance during lifting and placement, helping strengthen finger extensors and improve fine motor precision.

The sturdy construction and non-slip feet ensure excellent stability during therapy sessions, allowing users to focus on movement quality without the board shifting during use.
