Janne Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 (edited) Why do y'all think that putting your fingers, with no pressure, on the spring of the gripper allows a person to close the gripper farther? There is no actual kinetic advantage to using this technique but maybe psychological. I remember when my arm went dead, for whatever reason(none of the annointed quacks(aka doctors) could figure it out). BTW, it was so bad that I could not even lift the weight of my hand itself. Long story short, before I get off-topic with the doctor beef, I re-habbed ON MY OWN, and I noticed that when I had gotten to where I could lift a dumbbell of any weight that putting a finger on the dumbbell allowed me to achieve a greater range of motion. BTW, I have re-habbed the arm to now be able to do 50 lb db curls, with the affected arm, and increasing steadily. What is it with this finger stuff? Edited December 30, 2005 by Janne Quote
big bri Posted December 30, 2005 Posted December 30, 2005 by holding on to the spring you can keep the gripper from trying to spin in your hand as you close it, preserving the leverage. Quote Goals: MM close #3 - Done 9/22/05 Cert HG300 - Done 12/15/05 CCS close #3 #3 cert MM0 cert
