A member asked:
Is there any way to train your hand to work again after having a stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Occupational therapy is always necessary following a stroke that resulted in upper extremity paresis. The recovery potential is anywhere in between 0 and close to 100%, given the patient's overall situation- stroke extent, motivation, comorbid conditions, social support, etc.
