The invention provides a hand function rehabilitation training system. The system comprises a myoelectric signal collection module, a controller, a computer and a hand rehabilitation trainer. The myoelectric signal collection module is used for collecting bio-myoelectric signals of muscle of the hand of a patient; the controller is used for conducting signal processing on the myoelectric signals and transmitting the signals to the computer; the computer is used for setting training parameters of the hand rehabilitation trainer; the hand rehabilitation trainer comprises an index finger trainingmechanism, a middle finger training mechanism, a ring finger training mechanism, a little finger training mechanism and a thumb training mechanism, wherein the index finger training mechanism, the middle finger training mechanism, the ring finger training mechanism and the little finger training mechanism are fixedly arranged at the front end of an arm shell side by side, and the thumb training mechanism is fixedly arranged at the side end of the arm shell; a mechanical finger training mechanism builds communication connection with the computer and is used for receiving a training instructionsent by the computer and executing corresponding motions. The hand function rehabilitation training system is used for solving the problem that an existing rehabilitation training mechanical arm is complicated in installation and large in size, and a patient cannot wear or move the existing rehabilitation training mechanical arm conveniently, and the problem that mechanical arm joints are low inflexibility and bend and stretch rigidly, and thus the rehabilitation training effect is not obvious.

Described here are devices and methods for strengthening the thenar muscles of the hand. Generally, a device comprises a base shaped to be held in the hand, a thumb rest having a hinge attached to the base such that one end of the thumb rest can be pivoted relative to the base, and an elastic member attached to the base and the thumb rest, which resists the pivoting motion of the thumb rest relative to the base. The user can place the device in his or her hand, and place his or her thumb on the thumb rest. When the user presses the thumb rest toward the base with his or her thumb, the elastic member supplies a force resisting the pressing motion, which exercises the thenar muscles.
