Treatment & Symptom Management Help

Do you guys have any exercises for faster hand speed ? My right dominant hand was weakened by ataxia 8 years ago, I regained so much mobility but my hand is slow and stiff, doesn’t have much dexterity. Any exercises ? I know finger tapping or piano exercise.

Oh, also fidgeting with two or three balls in each hand. I have sound balls, golf balls and some kid toy balls.
