    Abstract: A finger weight that is functional. A normal sized, weighted sphere is attached to an end of a cylinder-shaped body. The weighted sphere and body has a hard particulate material to provide a resistance transfer through the body. A flattened surface and groove are provided in both the implement and the assistive implement. The flattened surface of the implement of the body half distant from the sphere is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive resinous strip to the non-palmar surface of the distal finger digit. The flattened surface along the entire length of the assistive implement is cinctured in the groove by an adhesive resinous strip to the proximal interphalangeal joint. The operation of the finger weight is extending and flexing the distal finger digit while restricting the extending and flexing of the proximal interphalangeal joint.
