If you or someone close to you has recently suffered a stroke, it can be difficult to move your joints properly. When stroke occurs, blood flow does not reach the affected region and has harmful effects. According to the American Stroke Association, one of the best ways to improve motor skills after a stroke is physical therapy such as massage, acupuncture, massage and massage therapy.
Some easy ways to improve motor skills and work the joints include:
- Testing your aim by playing marbles
- Exercising your fingers with rubber bands
- Tracing lines on paper
- Placing pegs in and out of pegboards
- Fanning out your fingers regularly
While some activities are easy to manage on your own, others require the help of a caregiver. Repeat the exercise throughout the day so it’s more likely you’ll make a full recovery. Also, some lifestyle changes will need to take place that can help make recovery easier.
