A friend recommended that I try to extend my fingers on the table, so I would put my one hand over the table and with the otherone I would press my hand down so that my fingers would extend and it really worked but I stopped because I found it to be less functional that way, like for example I couldn't scratch myself as well because my fingers weren't firm enough, so now I just do it every once in a while if my fingers are too curled up.
