We have acquired one of these which looks a good idea. We tried it this morning but my husband has only got one working hand. I tried to put the handle into his hand and close it but it just falls out.
I guess we will have to some how tie it on to his hand. Any ideas?
You could do with something to loop around his wrist to attached to the hand holder.
Cut up an old t-shirt to make a comfortable loop for him.
Its all about how to improvise isn’t it 
Ive seen numerous videos of stroke survivors with their hand bandaged to various gym equipment because they can’t grip or hold on

I bought an exerciser off ebay some time ago.
It came with a strange sort of glove with velcro tabs.
It fixed around hand and handle holding them together even though to hand itself could not hold on on its own.
The exerciser fitted over the door but it was a nuisance because it interfered with using the door.
I think the idea is good in principal but needs some sort of wall fixing instead so it can stay in place ready for use.
I think occasional pulling on the arm can stimulate nerve re-connection.
After a new banister rail was fitted I used my weak hand on it as best I could and discovered I was getting some return of use to both hand and arm.
I only used it occasionally to go upstairs but there was a noticeable improvement not so long afterwards. I believe the exerciser could work in the same way.
Maybe you could put an old glove on your husband’s hand then use parcel tape to fix gloved hand to the handle.
I was told that return comes first to the hip or shoulder and shifts down towards foot or hand.
All this is clouded in mystery and it is hard to get reliable info. I think we who have had stroke should share anything we have discovered.
I am no authority, finding my own way is the best I can do.

perhaps Lorraine’s answer would work better. It’s a question of needs must . . .
I had one of these. If you can find a way to tie his hand to it then I wpukd recommend it. It worked well for me & did give me extra movement bavk in my arm.
I searched for you and found the glove that I had.
here’s a picture of the glove at Amazon UK. It was included with my exerciser.
It holds the hand around the exerciser handle.
the Amazon order number is B09PGD1VWT
browse to AmazonUK put that number in the Amazon UK search bar
and it is ÂŁ5.54 at the moment
I hope this helps.
Some of your husband’s grip will return eventually.
It might be too soon but he could try clenching and unclenching his fist, helping with his other hand or maybe with your help.
Much of this a physio can tell if you pay. In my opinion it should be available on the NHS but they drop away after a bit.
I’ve struggled on alone.
It is some time later for me. (about three years) my hand still has limited use but I can pick up a bag of supermarket shopping now unaided. Some use has returned very slowly.
Don’t expect too much.
This is a long game, be patient, enjoy the scenery.
Help others with what you have learned.
We can and should work together towards something better.
There are all sorts of improvements to be made.
keep on keepin on
I tried that exerciser that @Mrs5K recommended to me. She recommended the scooter I use too. (She is my heroine)
You’re too kind @Bobbi glad I could help a little bit of
