After a stroke, it is important to do the exercises in this handout for your affected arm and hand. You can do them on your own by using your unaffected arm and hand. These gentle movements are called “self-range of motion” exercises, and they help to maintain your movement, prevent stiffness, improve blood flow, and increase awareness of your affected arm and hand.
