How To Recover Hand At Home After Stroke

First of all, we should not narrowly think that hand function training is just a hand problem. The trunk and upper arms have a very large impact on hand movement. Therefore, no matter whether your muscle tension is abnormal or not, before doing hand function training, you should perform moderate massage exercises on the muscles and joints of the torso and upper arms to activate them or increase the feeling.

Secondly, you must objectively analyze your hand function status: If the muscle tension is high, the finger grip is strong and the extension is weak, you should not practice grasping too much to prevent the strengthening of the grasping action and affect the overall flexibility of the hand; if the muscle tension is normal or low, the hand can be slightly grasped and stretched, and then the flexion and extension can be exercised at the same time. Everyone's condition is different, and the training methods of other patients may not be suitable for you, so knowing your own dysfunction to train is the most important.

Before doing rehab training, first move your finger joints:

Method: Use the healthy side of the hand to rub the fingers of the affected hand from top to bottom. Be patient and do not use excessive force.

1.grab-column exercise

Put a bucket on the table, hold it from the table and put it down once. You can practice holding a water cup in your daily life.

2.Ring grip exercise

Put a barrel-like object on the table, such as a water cup, and lift the cup from the top of the cup from the top of the cup and then put it down once. This exercise mainly strengthens the hand flexors and inner muscles.

3.lift-up object exercises

Bend the four fingers (except the thumb) into a hook shape, lift up the water bottle, school bag, plastic bag, small basket, etc. (add weight if necessary), lift it up and then put it down once. In daily life, you can practice carrying schoolbags, kettles, and pulling out drawers.

4.Refined-finger practice

Put the elastic rubber bands on the two adjacent fingers, hold them for a while after separating them forcefully and then relax them . The rubber band can be put on the distal end of the finger to increase the difficulty.

In addition to daily hand training, some hand function rehabilitation equipment, such as hand function rehabilitation robot gloves, can also be used when necessary to stimulate the hands and brain nerves to speed up the recovery.
