Finger weights are great for people who are dealing with arthritis or other joint pain in their fingers and want to improve their finger dexterity, strength, and performance. Finger weights are meant to target the extensor and flexor muscles, which are the fine motor muscles in the hands that are responsible for opening and closing the fingers.

They are great to alleviate a shaky hand, which is common among people suffering from arthritis; finger weights are also helpful with easing some of the pain caused by arthritis when used on a daily basis. Alleviating shaky hands and pain is essential for being able to successfully fasten buttons, write, and other tasks that require fine motor skills.

Finger weights can be used while you type, write, or do any other around-the-house tasks that require the use of your fingers. Follow the advice of a physical therapist to find the weight that is best suited for you and your situation.
