Many people are looking for exercises they can do at home to improve the functioning of their affected arm or leg. UBC professor Dr. Janice Eng speaks to the HSF Canadian Partnership for Stroke Recovery on her research (December 2013). In a lecture that I attended, Dr. Eng suggested that these home exercises can be as effective as constraint therapy for arm recovery.
The key with any exercise for stroke recovery is that it be intensive (do it at least once a day with as much repetition as you can) and that your brain is engaged in the task. As you do the exercises, think about the affected arm or leg moving, feel the muscles moving, and try to move it a little bit more/ a little bit further each time.
