Hi, my name is Dr. Terry Zachary and I am the developer of the Handmaster Plus Hand
Exercise System. Today, I want to talk to you about rehabilitation applications in cases
of Diabetes, Stroke Rehabilitation and also Arthritis. Obviously, the conditions are very
different but the application for Handmaster Plus is very very similar. So I want to talk
about all three together.
Now first thing that I want to tell you is that the Handmaster Plus was originally developed
to help athletes and people in the work place -- in situations like that. It's more of a
muscular balance application.
With Diabetes, Stroke and Arthritis -- obviously, that is going to be a little bit less of an
invasive exercise that we want. And when we took... when we originally used it 8 about
years ago... when we originally used our sports application on one of my patients who have
had a stroke, she was not able to do it. So that is when we changed our materials and
made a soft material which could help people that have had this more invasive situations.
There is three benefits to using the Handmaster Plus:
First of all, because the hands moves through its full natural range of motions through
the exercise. It's going to stimulate all three peripheral nerves to the hand. It stimulates
the Ulnar Nerve and the Median Nerve just like any other grip product would. But because
it strengthens muscles that open the hand and also stimulates the Radial Nerve, it stimulates
all three peripheral nerves because the hand moves through its full natural range of motion
during the exercise.
It also allows blood flow to all the joint surfaces and all the muscle tissues. So blood
flow is the second thing that we have maximized with Handmaster Plus. So that will be... that
will challenge any hand exercise product because of how full we can move the hand.
And then third thing that we are looking to do, is we are looking to stimulate muscle
tone in the balanced formation. Okay? Again, if I was just to take the ball and squeeze
it, I would only strengthen nine muscles that close the hand. Handmaster Plus strengthens
the nine muscles that close the hand as well as the nine muscles that open the hand.
And using this soft product in this more uninvasive rehabilitation situations, you won't stimulate
maximum muscle tone. You are just going to start to build some muscle tone but it will
be a balanced fashion. Okay?
The big deal about the Handmaster Plus for yourself to use or for your patients to use
is that -- one exercise stimulates all eighteen muscles and allows the hand and ball to move
through its full natural range of motion.
And before we developed the Handmaster Plus, we would have to use three or four different
exercises. And when that happens, the patients don't remember them. It's too inconvenient
and they won't comply.
So, this is Handmaster Plus -- and it is the soft, it's got a blue colored ball, yellow
cords. And slip the thumb loop on the thumb, the finger loops on the fingers. And all the
instructions are inside of the packaging.
It's very easy to figure out how to use it. Very simply, the only thing that the patient
has to remember is to keep the wrist straight. And after that, you are just going to squeeze
against the ball for the count of one, open and spread through the count of one. Squeeze,
open and spread. That is all you have to remember.
It has got a very nice feel to it. It's a very enjoyable exercise. There is no reason
not to do it. And there is no reason that your patients won't comply to it. Okay? So
that's how we keep that muscle tone in the balance. Okay.
Which is a real problem with hand exercising. Most people will only strengthen the muscles
that close the hand. So we have accomplished that all in this very uninvasive product because
it is a soft product. It is very easy to do as long as somebody can move their hand through
their normal range of motion. They are ready to start with the soft Handmaster rehabilitation
product. Okay? It's as simple as that.
The product is available at www.doczac.com. That's w-w-w-dot-d-o-c-z-a-c-dot-com and you
could contact one of our therapy distributors or one of our brand partners or simply buy
online.
So this is a very easy exercise. It's very uninvasive for diabetics, for somebody who
suffered stroke, or for somebody who has arthritis. It is a very uninvasive way to keep those
tissues as healthy as possible. And if we don't do this, we are going to see the degenerate...
the tissues have a tendency to just continue to degenerate. So it's the great healthy way
to be very uninvasive and at the same time still stay active.
Give it a try. I'm sure you will find it very enjoyable and I think that you will finally
keep the health of those tissues as maximized as possible.
