Thank You !
You're welcome! 😊
All great. I need simpler stuff at the moment. Putting Cloths pegs an on a cup & stacking large dice are about the limit at the moment.
I just can't get middle & ring finger to do much. all clench but won't extend - Any suggestions for extending them other than passive and splinting (both of which I do often)
@simonharris, Thanks very much. As I'm sure you know, finger and wrist extension are some of the hardest upper extremity movements to get back. Anything isolating those finger extension movements is good. Give yourself a goal with extension (like an object to hit with finger extension). Sometimes having a goal to shoot for will encourage greater movement as it provides feedback to your brain. This is a motor learning principle and something I typically incorporate in my treatments. 😊 Hope that helps!
@@PostStrokeOrg thanks. I have a sudoku game on my phone that requires 100s of accurate taps that I use. I'm always on the look out for advice that I can use or adapt and use. The game is good for index finger, I need something for middle and ring. Also something for grasp and, most challenging release
My affected side is very sensitive to cold water or touch. How do I deal with this?
My affected hand does not have any grip. Please advise on how to deal with this
Look at you shuffling like a card shark 🦈 🤣🤣😋❤️
@kodiakwild, 😎😉
Hi Elyse, Are those exercises still applicable to post stroke patients such as myself already years ahead from the attack? My spasticity is too strong that my affected side can barely open. Thanks
@markangelocinco, Great question. Exercises and activities for recovery can be done months and years after the stroke happened. However, depending on your specific situation, you need to check with your doctor or therapist for specific recommendations!
Hello Dr, i have a question for you. Please, I've been down with stroke for 2 years plus now but I have a shoulder subluxation and my fingers can't move. I use just my unaffected hand to do things. Which exercises will be okay for me?
@saintchidi, I can't make specific recommendations since I'm not treating you, but I have several arm and hand exercise videos. You may take a look through those and see what you're able to do/not able to do. Talk with your doctor or therapist about what would specifically be best for you!
👍😊

How finger open
Wrist drop improve?
Great question! I actually have a couple videos I'd recommend:
Kinesio tape to improve wrist drop: czcams.com/video/xnMfbHXiu8I/video.html
Wrist extension workout: czcams.com/video/nvfSTPry17c/video.html
What if your non-dominant hand is your affected hand?
@jannronnb, All of these still apply! I was just noting that dexterity issues on your dominant hand can be exceptionally troublesome, as we use our dominant side to eat and write with. Hope this helps. Thanks for asking 😊
