What does your doctor have to get your upper arm recovered?
Maybe these from earlier:

I'm sure there are many many more that your competent? doctor knows about AND HAS CREATED AN EXACT PROTOCOL TO FULLY RECOVER YOUR UPPER LIMB! NO? So, you don't have a functioning stroke doctor, do you?

OBJECTIVE.
This paper describes the effect of a robotic device combined with repetitive task practice (RTP)
on upper-extremity function in a patient with chronic stroke.
METHOD.
The client was a 32-year-old woman, 11 months after stroke, with minimal wrist and finger movement. She received approximately 48 hr of intervention split evenly between a robotic device (Hand Mentor)
and RTP over 3 weeks.
RESULTS.
Favorable scores in the Wolf Motor Function Test were observed from pre- to postevaluation.
Active range of motion, from pre- to postintervention, increased by 35° in the shoulder, 65° in the wrist and
70° in the thumb. Kinetic analysis of a bimanual dexterity task indicated improved specification of grasping
forces for both limbs.
CONCLUSION.
Improvements in upper-extremity motor functioning and functional performance in daily
tasks followed this client’s engagement in distal initiation of movement during RTP exercise regime that was
robotically reinforced.
