Stroke Training and Awareness Resources (STARs)


Outcome of concern 1

Alan has had Botulinum Toxin to his finger and wrist flexors and stretches and exercises to improve the motor control. This has helped his hand and has improved the functional use of his arm. He can now clean his hand and has flickers of active movement at his wrist and fingers. Following education in stretches and application of the splint, Alan feels that he is competent to apply it. He is happy with the management of his hand and is less distressed about the appearance of his hand.
