Well, frustration is definitely a common reaction to this, but if you look at the brain, the largest part of your motor cortex is taken up by the hand. The hand is the hardest thing to get control of because it's how we engage with our world and uses so much brain power to control it. It uses the same amount, if not more, as your entire leg and foot require. Keep working hard. Keep telling yourself you can do it. From a clinical standpoint, adding in electrical stimulation usually boosts your recovery time, so definitely look into this as well. Our SaeboStim Pro (www.saebo.com/shop/saebostim-pro/ ) might be the right product for your recovery. - Dr Scott

Don't give up!

In this video I spend a good amount of time explaining how to get the thumb out and how to stretch it. I included the time stamps in the description, so please review this and attempt to follow the instructions. You may have limited flexibility in your thumb so your results may be different than those I show on camera. Follow the instructions of opening the hand, isolating the thumb, and stretching for at least 2x/day until the muscles relax, should give you some results to build upon. Keep up the consistent work and you're guaranteed to succeed. - Dr. Scott, OTD

Spasticity is a typical part of neurological, and especially of, stroke recovery. As you use your arm and hand your spasticity level will vary, which is why it's important to work with a professional who can guide you and change your routine as your spasticity changes. Ultimately, you want to work on control of the correct muscles and the ability to turn them on and turn them off at will. This is the amazing factor that comes from using our SaeboFlex, SaeboReach, SaeboGlove, and SaeboMAS/mini products. They all work on spasticity in a different way, helping you gain control of your muscles and lowering your spasticity/tone. - Dr Scott, OTD

There's no rule of thumb for this one...it's different for everyone. But I can say that it depends on what your life is like, how much effort you put into the recovery, your support group, your attitude, and where you are starting from. I always tell my clients one thing, "If you see movement, you can improve!"

Glad you liked them. Keep up the hard, but great work! - Dr Scott

Vanessa, stretching the thumb is part of this video. I have another video, our Hand Recovery Exercises - Stage 1 that might help you achieve what you're looking for. Take a look at this video (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLGCZNGA2amye4k.html). Best of luck. - Dr Scott

Hello! Here are some blog post about spasticity www.saebo.com/spasticity/ www.saebo.com/blog/traumatic-brain-injury-spasticity-treatment-symptoms-and-recovery/ www.saebo.com/blog/treat-spasticity-stroke/

Hi Kenny, the SaeboStretch is a novel splint uses a revolutionary stretch technology, which allows the fingers to move through flexion caused by associated reactions and increased tone. Following relaxation, the fingers gradually return to the desired resting position. Learn more about the SaeboStretch here, www.saebo.com/shop/saebostretch/

Exercising can help improve function! Keep at it!

@@SaeboInc thank you sir !

The biggest hurdle to recovery sounds like its going to be stretching your hand and getting a daily stretching routine. If these stretches are not right for you, at this time, we recommend you talk to a therapist for more guidance. As for Saebo products in China, please contact you local representative for more help. Follow this link to find your representative. www.saebo.com/international-partners/

Milton, right off the bat, I'd say NMES e-stim, SES e-stim and our SaeboMAS mini. NMES will contract the muscles and help with nerve conduction/volitional training; you can get this from our SaeboStim Pro and SaeboStim One. SES will help with all things sensory and cortical priming and rewiring, which you can get from our SaeboStim Micro, and one 30-minute program on the SaeboStim Pro. As for our SaeboMAS mini, it supports your arm, which decreases spasticity in the entire arm, and also allows you to move with minimal effort. So, you might be able to move your arm, but your muscles are so weak, the weight of your arm is holding you back. I hope that helps! - Dr. Scott

Shamil, I'm sorry to hear that you required back surgery. I do hope you will recover. I cannot tell you if the spasticity will decrease as I am not your therapist and do not have the information I need to offer a professional opinion. I would consult with the health professionals you are working with and have them help guide you in your recovery. Best of luck! - Dr Scott

Carol, I'd have to see you in person to give that advice as this sounds a little more complex. Have you tried calling our toll-free number and speaking with a product specialist? 888-284-5433. Or you can contact us via our customer support ticket. Here's the link. support.saebo.com/knowledge/kb-tickets/new. I look forward to helping you. - Dr Scott

If that is the case, I would definitely make sure you seek professional help for your rehabilitation. In the meantime, I would suggest any of our electrical stimulation devices as they can cause muscle contractions and help with neuro connectivity. I wish you the best. - Dr Scott

If your hand is easily able to lie flat on the table, please fast forward past the initial discussion on how to open the hand. You are ahead of the curve! - Dr Scott, OTD

Hi there! Sorry to hear that your fingers are stiff and not able to bend after your stroke. Check out a few of these free blog post on improving hand function. www.saebo.com/blog/dynamic-splints-contracture-need-know/ www.saebo.com/blog/guide-to-treating-clenched-fists/ www.saebo.com/blog/benefits-rehabilitation-gloves-dynamic-splints-stroke-recovery/

We have two international partners in India, in the New Delhi area. Please follow this link for more information. (www.saebo.com/international-partners/)

Belinda, if you have broken braces, I would guess they were not meant for high tone, or the dynamic nature of tone, as you describe. We would recommend you try our SaeboFlex (www.saebo.com/shop/saeboflex/) and SaeboStretch (www.saebo.com/shop/saebostretch/). This helps you get control of using your hand and reducing your spasticity. -Dr Scott

If you have no movement, yet, then I would look into several products to help you get started on your movement. SaeboStim Micro, SaeboStim Pro, SaeboStim One, Saebo Mirror Box, and SaeboMind. I hope this helps. Please check out our playlists for lots of info on these products. - Dr Scott
