“Should my grandmother be doing exercises at home alongside therapy?”
My grandmother had a stroke a month ago and still cannot close her left hand all the way. She's in occupational therapy right now, but I'm not sure how it's really helping her. Should she be doing things at home to help her recover faster?

Many times OT will include a home program. There are times when the OT will hesitate to assign exercises if they are concerned the patient will have trouble completing them independently. I encourage you to attend a visit with your grandmother and assist in communication and observing your grandmother so you can help at home.
