The plastic splint is to keep my arm straight - as my muscles have contracted my arm tends to be bent at the elbow and is difficult to straighten on my own. The plastic splint feels a little like having your blood pressure taken as it is simply inflated. Yes it can be quite painful and most definitely hard work.

Your Donations - Watch how I am using your donations
This short video shows me using the Saebo flex which was bought with your donations. The glove helps me grasp objects eg a ball, pick them up then release and let them go. I am supposed to do 2 x 45 minutes sessions every day and in this way my brain will re-learn how to move my hand and hopefully one day I will be able to do this myself without the Saebo.

This activity also helps my balance to improve.
