Any extra movement will increase your balance and strength. As far as it making your hands start to work it's bull crap in my opinion. I see no proof of finger movement or new muscles in the arm working. My 2 cents, Donald

So I searched for on the web and found a YouTube video about it. It's nothing like what the article says. The ReJoyce Hand and Arm Rehabilitation System is basically an exercise machine. It's like a 4 foot long plastic elbow shaped device. The one end of it the paralyzed person holds onto as good as they can, the other end is attached to the table and connected to a computer. The elbow joint let it move in all directions. So as you move around it moves the cursor on the computer. So you move it around playing a game on the computer. It helps with exercise, balance, and coordination. At least the one I saw does not actually open and close your hand. It looks like it could be a home exercise machine. It might actually help with balance and coordination. But not the miracle device that open and close at hand.
