Caregiver's Guide to Arm & Hand Spasticity Stretches

This video is for caregivers and care partners of stroke survivors. I’ll show you how to safely stretch your loved one’s recovering arm and hand to maintain muscle length, reduce pain and stiffness, manage contractures (shortening of muscles/tendons), and improve function. Use this video to create a daily arm and hand stretching routine for your loved one.
