My middle finger keeps on raising all by itself when i watch your video

[@clivekempson4411]

[@renofu6882]

Great video, thanks. When I try to bring the thumb up, it is so tight. The tip of the thumb keep bending down. Can this method work?

[@markteslin5654]

I've found out another position that helped me to bring out the fingers: I hold my arm out in front of my body (like mimicing the trunk of an elephant), supported at the ellbow with the unaffected hand. It is easier for me then to open my hand.

[@duerxxxx]

Hey Elyse I will be referring you another stroke victim your way as soon as I get more information about him, and he is out the hospital. Thank again for all you do🕊😇🕊

Hi Elyse! Can these exercises be helpful for ALS patients? Thank you
