Dr. Scott, thank you for showing such a variety of exercises! 

I had a stroke almost 3.5 years ago, hemiplegia on the right side. My ring and little fingers don't listen to what I want them to do. The little finger is especially tight when I raise my hand or do similar movements. What could you advice me? If I may send you the photos/videos, that would be great!

Hello Dr Scott,
