    Thumbs up Re: gaining finger extension post-stroke

    Memory exs are very good & result oriented. There is researh on this. Another exs you could try is while you do approximation in sittin, give compression downward by holding at the medial & lateral aspect of elbow. do not handle the biceps while doing this. After doing a couple of times get the patient to attempt finger extension. If you do it well you will definitly get the ext'n.
