Have your doctor and therapists create a stroke protocol from this. I still do not have very good proprioception on my left side. Pages 8-25 cover the stroke information, someplace in there your therapist can find enough information to writeup a stroke protocol. You should not have to do your therapists work, but you may have to if you don't get anything on this in the next 10 years.

Abstract
The world’s population is aging, with the number of people ages 65 or older expected to surpass
3 1.5 billion people, or 16% of the global total. As people age, there are notable declines in
4 proprioception due to changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Moreover, the risk
5 of stroke increases with age, with approximately two-thirds of stroke-related hospitalizations
6 occurring in people over the age of 65. In this literature review we first summarize behavioral
7 studies investigating proprioceptive deficits in normally aging older adults and stroke patients,
8 and discuss the differences in proprioceptive function between these populations. We then
9 provide a state of the art review the literature regarding therapist- and robot-based rehabilitation
10 of the upper extremity proprioceptive dysfunction in stroke populations and discuss avenues of
11 future research.
