Frequently Asked Questions

How does the CanDo resistance sequence work?
The CanDo grip sequence uses color coding to indicate resistance level, with the force requirement doubling at each step — from Yellow (X-Soft, lightest) through Red (Easy, 6 lb), Green, Blue, and Black (X-Hard, 48 lb, heaviest). This progressive structure allows therapists and users to advance resistance in a controlled, measurable way as grip strength improves.

Should I start with Red or Yellow?
If you have very limited grip strength, start with Yellow (X-Soft). If you have some baseline hand function and can comfortably squeeze a soft object, Red (Easy, 6 lb) is an appropriate starting point. Always follow your therapist's recommendation for the correct starting level based on your strength assessment.

How do I use hand exercise grips correctly?
Hold one grip in each hand with the ergonomic shape fitting naturally in your palm. Squeeze the grip fully, hold for 2 to 3 seconds, then slowly release. Perform the number of repetitions and sets prescribed by your therapist. Avoid gripping so hard that you experience pain — some muscle fatigue is normal, but sharp or joint pain is a signal to stop and consult your therapist.

Can I purchase other resistance levels separately?
Yes. The CanDo hand exercise grips are available in all five resistance levels (Yellow, Red, Green, Blue, and Black) and are sold in pairs at each level. Check our store for the full CanDo grip sequence if you need a higher resistance level for progression.
