15 Minute Arm Strengthening Using a Dowel
"Equipment Used: A firm surface to sit on; a rod (shower rod, cane, broom stick, therapy bar); exercise cuff, ace wrap or sock to fasten hand to rod; washcloth to build up under the rod to make it easier to grasp; a helper to put your arm in the correct position or help you move to different positions if needed. All exercises can be modified if you don't have the equipment listed.
Description: This video leads you through a 15 minute gentle arm strengthening routine using a rod. It is designed for anyone with an arm that is limited by tone (too much or too little), decreased arm strength and decreased arm range of motion. Rest as often as needed depending on your fitness level."
