So have your doctor create a stroke protocol for your hand based on this.

The goal of this review was to discuss the impairments in hand function
after stroke and present previous work on robot-assisted approaches to
movement neurorehabilitation. Robotic devices offer a unique training
environment that may enhance outcomes beyond what is possible with
conventional means. Robots apply forces to the hand, allowing completion
of movements while preventing inappropriate movement patterns. Evidence
from the literature is emerging that certain characteristics of the
human-robot interaction are preferable. In light of this evidence, the
robotic hand devices that have undergone clinical testing are reviewed,
highlighting the authors' work in this area. Finally, suggestions for
future work are offered. The ability to deliver therapy doses far higher
than what has been previously tested is a potentially key advantage of
robotic devices that needs further exploration. In particular, more
efforts are needed to develop highly motivating home-based devices,
which can increase access to high doses of assisted movement therapy.
