ABSTRACT:
The invention provides systems and methods for a textured therapeutic toy that can be manipulated into an infinite number of shapes and configurations. The invention is best applied to relieve minor stress as well as strengthen hand muscles, rehabilitate finger and joint movement and improve overall range of hand motion. In one exemplary embodiment, a textured coating is applied to the surface of each segment that gives the therapeutic toy a unique feel, thereby creating a pleasant sensation and feel to the hands and fingers.
