He had a CVA which affected his right side. He is able to perform full range of his fingers but has limited strength. I wanted to give him exercises to do on the days I don't visit. Unfortunately, my company will not give out theraputty. He is not the type of man that will engage easily in activities such as baking or cooking. I am having a hard enough time with simple ADL's. I am going to try the foam tubing that someone mentioned earlier and I was also thinking about filling a balloon with sand for him to squeeze while watching TV.
