When a stroke arm feels flaccid, it can be hard to know what to do. But your actions as a caregiver still make a real difference.
Supporting the arm, including it in daily routines, and handling it safely help protect the shoulder and keep the arm connected to recovery. Even when movement is limited, care and attention still matter.
If you are caring for someone after stroke and feel unsure, you do not have to figure it out alone.
