Hand recovery after stroke can be a slow process, affecting many daily activities. However, recovery of hand function can continue years following stroke.
The chances of hand recovery increase with consistent practice and repetition of rehabilitation exercises.
So never give up. Keep working away at your exercises and you'll see results.
And get yourself a copy of DVD 5; where Dr Tom starts to take you into the realms of upper limb training particularly for reach, grasp and release.

On this DVD. Dr Tom starts to take you into the realms of upper limb training particularly for reach, grasp and release. This is very different to lower limb work in that no management strategies are ...
this is so true, i started playing golf again last summer, the changes in my hand since then are quite something, so much so i managed a go ape high ropes course last week!
Try to do something new with your more-affected upper limb each day. Repeated and gradated attempts to use your more-affected upper limb in retraining creates a form of practice that can potentially lead to further improvement in performance.
Task-specific training is critical because it will ‘force’ you to practice using your more-affected upper-limb. 30% to 66 % of stroke survivors report no longer being able to use the affected arm and are in danger of avoiding using it.
The ideal is to enter a ‘virtuous circle’, in which spontaneous limb use and motor performance will reinforce each other and re-teach your body to control and co-ordinate the positions and functions of your more-affected upper limb. And even partial successes can really help with the frustration factor.

There are many things that all stroke survivors must do, and many things that most will need to do. You will start with basic tasks that you need to master in order that you can work towards more complex tasks. Everything you do will rewire your brain to some extent: and you may find that by simply trying to 'do more', in an appropriately safe manner (ie, please don't take undue risks), you might develop more motor control and gain more strength. Whatever the case, you will ‘get nothing by doing nothing’.
If you like this post then please share it with others. Each time that you share a post, you can directly help other people – as who knows which people in the world might find us and gain, either directly from the charity or simply by being able to copy an ‘innovative and useful’ move/trick of the trade that might help them manage after stroke.
Every time you share, you could directly help someone – as knowledge is power 😉

Bicycle pedalling and walking display some common motor requirements for successful execution. Both tasks are characterised by alternating flexion and extension of the hip, knee, and ankle, and both tasks require reciprocal movements between limbs. Stationary exercise machines such as bikes are great for this purpose. Those that are known as recumbent or semi-recumbent bikes (depending how reclined it is) would be my first choice for a ‘beginner stroke survivor’. These types of gym bikes can be picked up relatively affordably from a variety of places and often aren’t cheap but they hold a considerable re-sale value.
You can even prop your iphone or ipad on the display ledge and watch videos or listen to music to help the pass the time.
You might possibly find it difficult to keep your more-affected foot on the pedals due to weakness and/or loss of feeling and sensation in your legs. If you’re experiencing such problems, look at the internet to see if you can get a customised pedal made. This kind of job is often most efficiently carried out by a clever bicycle fixer in a dedicated bicycle shop or even a mechanic or engineer. Such people will be really great at problem-solving and coming up with the best device for you. If all else fails, it’s even possible to adhere trainers to pedals. Trainers with strong Velcro tops work well.

The Successful Stroke Survivor Full Video Series: 300 minutes anytime online viewing
You are about to completely change the way you view your rehabilitation. By following the advice in these 7 DVDs you will totally transform yourself. You will be able to disregard the use of a wheelchair, stick and rigid plastic orthotic, as appropriate. Amongst many other things, you will learn to get down and up from the floor, balance, walk and turn without problem, become strong and robust.. and tackle all sorts of activities of daily life that you hadn’t dreamed possible after stroke.
Importantly, Dr Tom will teach you how to recover a great deal more action control of your upper limb and achieve spasticity decline leading to grasp and release capability. Contained in these DVDs is a wealth of information relayed by Dr Tom, who has ‘been there’. A stroke survivor himself, he shows you exactly what to do to make an incredible recovery: you will not BELIEVE what can be done! You can do it: Dr Tom will show you how, and will also show you a full training session with a stroke survivor so you can see how everything works.
If you would like all DVDs it works out cheaper to buy them all at once; rather than buying all separately.

The balance problems of stroke survivors are often related to uneven weight distribution and difficulties in muscle use; which increases postural sway during standing.

Low grip strength in the stroke population can and should be corrected via strength training since grip strength is also a predictor of disability and mortality in older adults. This is why ARNI has, since inception, concentrated on task-training, strength training and the appropriate development of physical coping skills. We’ve done the same thing ever since.
