If you’re starting with little to no movement in your affected arm, weight bearing is a great way to activate muscles and start building neuroplasticity. This video goes through 2 sets of 5 weight bearing exercises in standing to activate arm movement. All you’ll need is a sturdy surface to put your hands on and another person with you for safety.
