Finger-thumb opposition
- With one hand, point your fingers and thumb straight up. Your wrist should be relaxed, following the line of your fingers and thumb.
- Touch your thumb to each finger, one finger at a time. This will look like an "okay" sign. Try to make the circle as round as you can. And try to keep your other fingers as straight as you can.
- Repeat 8 to 12 times with each hand.
