(2-pk) Hand Therapy Lumbrical Exercise “Taco Shell” - Intrinsic Hand Strengthening Tool for Injury & Stroke Recovery

Support your hand recovery with a simple, targeted exercise tool designed to strengthen the small “intrinsic” muscles of the hand—especially the lumbricals that help with coordinated finger control for everyday tasks. Who it’s for People recovering from hand injuries or stroke Anyone with hand weakness or reduced finger coordination Patients working on everyday skills like grasping, pinching, writing, or buttoning How it helps The Taco Shell gives your fingers a comfortable surface to squeeze so you can focus on controlled movement and strength in the palm and fingers. Use the Taco Shell by itself for light resistance and motor control practice Add your own foam therapy block inside the shell when your therapist wants to increase resistance (foam block not included) How to use (general guidance) Hold the Taco Shell in your hand and perform slow, controlled squeezes as directed by your therapist. You should feel muscle work but not sharp pain. Stop and contact your therapist if you notice numbness, tingling, color changes, or increased swelling.
