Hand rehabilitation painting aids and series of textbooks designed for children with cerebral palsy

Finger Ring!, a hand rehabilitation painting aid designed for children with cerebral palsy, allows them to create 3D paintings, helping them improve hand convulsions and insufficient tension.It contains a finger cot, an artboard and a pigment box. The finger cot can be stained with colors and support patients to paint. According to the level of patient's tension, they are given a series of teaching materials, such as surface textures, 3D blocks, bump paintings and story design. With the help of others, patients can carry out finger tension, hand grasp and muscle endurance rehabilitation. It can also help patients with stroke to rehabilitate.

Hand rehabilitation painting aids and series of textbooks designed for children with cerebral palsy

Finger Ring!, a hand rehabilitation painting aid designed for children with cerebral palsy, allows them to create 3D paintings, helping them improve hand convulsions and insufficient tension.

It contains a finger cot, an artboard and a pigment box. The finger cot can be stained with colors and support patients to paint. According to the level of patient's tension, they are given a series of teaching materials, such as surface textures, 3D blocks, bump paintings and story design. With the help of others, patients can carry out finger tension, hand grasp and muscle endurance rehabilitation. It can also help patients with stroke to rehabilitate.

The Finger Ring! series of teaching materials are divided into ABC type rehabilitation training subjects according to the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) patient's finger tension assessment grade, and with the occupational therapist's assessment based on the symptom level of children with cerebral palsy, the suitable subject for each patient can be quickly selected.

Class A teaching material (hand muscle tension grade 2) - training finger opening and closing and tactile experience at different angles

The use of larger three-dimensional geometry and different surface texture design enhances the patient's tactile sensation; the three-dimensional design increases the success rate and diversity when drawing.

Class B teaching material (hand muscle tension grade is +1) - training the stability and control of movement of fingers

With a storyline sketch pattern, the patient can color in the specified range and improve the control of the hand and the learning of life knowledge; the block design of the slight bumps between the patterns increases the success of the coloring of the independent block.

Class C teaching material (hand muscle tension grade is 0~1) – training the stability of fingers in space and muscle endurance of hand grasping

The three-dimensional blocks of different shapes and weights allow the patient to color on a complex three-dimensional surface, and can grasp and play to achieve the purpose of training in play.

How to use Finger Ring!

1. Perform a grading assessment of the hand tension and select the appropriate teaching board for placement on the easel.

2-a. The patient selects the favorite finger cot and is assisted to put on by the parent or occupational therapist.

2-b The patient directly touches the teaching board or grasp the handle to play with the three-dimensional blocks on the teaching board.

3-a. Adjust the easel's angle to meet patient's drawing needs

4-a. After wearing the finger cot, the patient can pick up the favorite pigment.

5-a. Draw on the teaching board

5-b. Draw on the three-dimensional blocks

Artistic psychotherapy value

The patient's creation made from Finger Ring! art media (teaching board) with color pigments can help the psychologist and occupational therapist understand the patient's psychological condition and further communicate with the patient through creation.

The healing effect and sense of accomplishment of creation

Artistic creation is a spontaneous and self-control act, and the created works are the concrete presentation of the creator's ideas and emotions. Through the creation process of Finger Ring!, the patient's emotions can be alleviated, and then the emotions and ideas can be integrated to obtain the pleasure and sense of accomplishment during rehabilitation.
