Hand functions are measured by using a range of standardised physical assessments and functional tests.Physical assessments include measuring the range of hand motion, strength, sensation, and physical dimen- sions of the hand. Functional tests aim to evaluate the coordination and fine dexterity of the hand while performing certain standardised tasks, as well as the functional sensibility.To examine the effects of finger-movement exercises and finger weight-lift training on handgrip strength and Activities of Daily Living. The combined use intervention with finger-movement exercises and proper finger weight-lift training improved the handgrip strength and ADLS values of very elderly individuals. These rehabilitation exercises may be used to help the elderly maintain their self-care abilities. Finger-movement exercises are traditionally used during the rehabilitation of hand functions, and interventions based on finger-movement exercises and finger weight-lift training have been accepted by older adults. We con- ducted our current study to evaluate the effects of finger- movement exercises and finger weight-lift training on the self-care abilities. We used our finger exercise and weight-lift baseline data to determine the long-term effects of these exercise methods on improving handgrip strength. Finger-movement exercises are commonly employed among peoples. These exercises are noninvasive and easy to apply in both an individual’s home or a welfare institution. The combined use of finger-movement exercises and proper finger strength training can effectively improve handgrip strength and ADLS values. This approach could be used as a rehabilitation exercise to help the elderly maintain their self-care abilities as long as possible. Weight cuffs are also used to increase hand strength and help to achieve all the gross and fine grasp. Weight cuffs are also used as well as in lower extremity to increase muscle strength.
