Maybe your doctor can create a protocol from this and these 9 earlier ones. Try not to laugh at that statement.

Abstract
The object of this study was to investigate the influences of upper extremity exercises utilizing the upper extremity pattern of PNF, on the improvement of upper extremity functions in stroke patients. Ten subjects who agreed to participate in this study and satisfied the inclusion conditions were selected. They were randomized into the experimental and control groups. The experimental group (n = 5) received the upper extremity pattern of PNF after general physical therapy, whereas the control group (n = 5) received functional electrical stimulation after general physical therapy. To verify the intervention effects, the motor abilities before and after treatment were evaluated using the upper extremity distal part score of the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA) and the action research arm test. In addition, the exercise activity measurement chart was used to evaluate the activities of daily living. The FMA wrist and FMA hand, and ARAT score showed statistically significant differences between before and after the experiment in the experimental and control groups, respectively. In the comparison of treatment effects of the therapeutic intervention, the experimental group showed a statistically significant larger change compared to the control group. 1
