Peter G. Levine, please read this!!!! Thanks for the mirror therapy suggestion. I think that stuff is like some kind of magic. Not really, but it obviously works really well. In just 2 months of doing this, I have WAY more control over my right hand. Before Peter suggested it, I thought I was too high level for it, that it couldn’t help me. Nope, I was wrong! I wish I knew about mirror therapy when I was practicing. If I ever practice again, this will be a standard therapy. No matter how smart you think you are, the brain can be tricked.

Sounds interesting. Can you give me a link for more info on mirror therapy?
Sure, the post Peter wrote is at http://recoverfromstroke.blogspot.com/2013/04/intention-tremor-and-possible.html
Here’s another link…… http://www.reflexpainmanagement.com/stroke-rehabiliation-ezp-30.html
You don’t need to buy some fancy, expensive mirror box, you can just use a mirror.
Thanks so much! Love your blog. Can I add your link to my blog http://www.AccomMobility.com?

Absolutely! I already added your link without asking, 🙂
Great! Thanks so much. Amazing how much we learn from other stroke patients 🙂
Do you do one movement a lot or do you mix up the movements? I haven’t heard what the protocol should be.
I’ve been mixing up the movements, not following any kind of protocol, I’m not aware of one.
