Shawn,
I understood that any resistance, e.g. sanding, sawing, hammering nails, etc would increase tone not decrease it and that it would be better to use tasks that required minimal resistance through the client's current ROM.

Some suggest that gentle repeated rom is the best way to decrease
tone now. Anything re:throwing a ball, golf, batting for fun. The
old bilateral sanding task, sawing wood, hammering nails for crafts.
Sweeping, vaccuuming, washing windows for chores, combing hair
reaching for cans etc ADL.
