finger gloves and stroke rehab

Since I have spasticity in my finger flexors getting a glove on is usually an almost impossible task. During my canoe trip 3 years ago I ended up rubbing my left palm raw with a half-dollar size skin removal. After taping that up the trip leader asked if I had brought along paddling gloves, I had and for some reason I even brought the left glove. He proceeded to roll down the glove until the entry holes for each of the fingers was open. I then flattened my hand and started feeding each of the fingers into the holes. After much tugging and pulling we were able to get the glove on my hand. The trip leader related that he learned of this trick when he was a PCA for a CP patient. For the next 9 days I tried this and on 2 days I was able to even get it on by myself although when people helped it went much faster, I did have to be sitting down when doing this and alloting 15 minutes to accomplish it
