exercises for a stroke-affected hand

To get a stroke-affected hand, especially a limp or acutely disabled one, to function again, there are exercises that can help. Here are a few: • Try to hold and grip a flimsy market bag with that affected hand. When you can, try to carry it across the room. When you can carry it, put a light object in, and then a heavier one, and so on. • Place the stroke-affected fingers around a vertical/horizontal closet handle. Try to open and close that closet with those disabled fingers. • Try to flick a light switch on and off with that stroke-affected hand. • Put a tube of toothpaste in the affected hand and then try to squeeze it while your toothbrush is held by the stroke-unaffected hand. • Try to pull laundry in or out of a clothes hamper or basket using the stroke-affected hand. The above are not no-brainers like you may think them to be. I myself can accomplish 1 only sometimes. I am attempting now to execute 2 and 3 with my limp hand and fingers, with varied results
