Although not particularly mentioned for PD, I think that it can be helpful for fingers exercise for PD.

Thank you ! I was just thinking about looking up on hand, wrist, finger activities. I do have a hand gripper to squeeze, and I squeeze a clean plastic mustard container....Also, even though I do upper arm exercise with weights, I still have a hard time getting that right arm straight out, and up in order to put on a jacket.

I am finding improvement by exercising my whole arm. Stretching my shoulder, straightening my arm out, bending wrist forwards and backwards. I found my whole arm was stiff. I also do finger exercises. There are some for PD on Youtube. After exercising for a week or 2 my signature improved.

Use hand squeezer. Will actually reduce relax tremors

As has been discussed before, just moving helps

Only about 10-15 mins. Some in the car, simple wrist stretching. Wandering between rooms of the house. Nothing set or planned.

Yes. It's ongoing. We have to keep our bodies moving and flexible.
