Yes can move fingers but they are quite stiff but not sure how much of that is arthritis or stroke.
What bugs me is that I can’t hold a fork properly in that hand. Sometimes it’s really painful

Sounds interesting if I can work out how to do it!

I thought there was a meeting this morning so went to the zoom link a little after 10am… I must have misunderstood. See you next time R

My arm strength is improving. The daily exercises/stretches/aquarobics/gym/swimming are strengthening the muscles, but the overactive bicep and spasticity are difficult to overcome. It’s continually a “2 steps forward, 1 step back” scenario. My fingers still don’t open and my thumb closes toward the palm of my hand, so I have to hold it open in order to hold something. I’ve found it helpful to keep my Saebo Glove on if I’m doing anything(like gardening), as it helps stretch my bicep and hand. I can now raise my arm above my head in a sideways fashion, but not straight forward and up, but it’s better than before, so I must be doing something right!

Can you hold a dumbbell weight?
I have 0.5kg - up to 5kg which I use every day
You can get weights the strap onto your hand too
good luck, Roland
