Considering this for my husband. His right side was badly affected and there is still no movement in his hand.
Would be really interested if anybody has tried one. thanks

I haven’t tried it but I think I have seen some people on the Different Strokes facebook page who use those sorts of things. Itay be worth you having a look there if you are able.

I haven’t personally tried this, but I have seen a person at my support group using one. He said it was really group…certainly looked it!
Could your husband perhaps try one? Without committing?

I bought one to move the joints in my paralysed left hand it is only a cheap
air pump type, but is useful to keep the joints moving beyond where they are stuck
in one position. it is what they call
a passive action which means it doesn’t help the brain re connection as the machine is doing all the work so the pathway is not repairing itself.as the machine is doing the work,
however if he has some movement in his fingers he may be able to improve the muscles if he can resist the gloves movement force. and I don’t think it will hurt to use it if only to move the finger joints
