Title: Has anyone recovering from carpal tunnel surgery used one of these exercisers?

Has anyone who has had carpal tunnel surgery used one of these wrist/forearm exercisers:

...as part of the recovery process?

I ask because I am trying to work out whether this would be a help, a hindrance, or something in between for a patient trying to get back into shape after the surgery. 

If anyone reading this has had the surgery and/or experience with this device, I would be be grateful if you could share any insights you may have regarding the value of keeping one of these on hand as an aid to recovery.

(Likewise, if you use one of these regularly as a preventive measure to stave off CTS, I would like to hear about that, too.)
