A Great Tool For Injury Rehabilitation & Prevention
Dr. Miguel Zavallos, PT, DPT
is a Doctor of Physical Therapy based in New Jersey.
He helps climbers struggling with acute or long term injuries get back to climbing via in-person and virtual care.
Here's what he had to say about The PolyBoard:
"Is this Finger training ball just a fun little toy, or is there room for it in a rehab setting...
At its core, the PolyBoard trains Finger Dexterity and Fine Motor Control. Finger Dexterity is the ability to perform precise and coordinated movements of the finger.
While this is typically thought of as being useful only in small object manipulation, there has been a recent correlation found between finger dexterity and grip use.
Spending some time to train your finger dexterity may prove useful in improving general hand coordination moves and overall grip endurance, both hugely relevant in climbing.
I have personally been using this at my clinic for patients with Parkinson's and those with acute finger injuries that are not yet able to begin strengthening in a crimp position.
Additionally I think it would make a great tool to keep your fingers moving on a rest day for load management! "
