My only theory is that you need to
1) find foreign things to do to stimulate your brain in non known ways
2) possibly pleasurable/happy things (shared games/challenges with people you like or care about)
3) do them slowly~ enough to be aware of when you're reaching your limits and then keep at that level to not overload your system.
After I partially lost control of my left hand fingers, I could clearly sense when a movement was triggering jitter or finger locks. If I tried playing around that movement again, I could feel my brain clogging just a little, it's was almost a mind tickle. I have zero proof that it made things better, beside a belief in that challenging your brain/muscle system is how we learned skills when we were born. I think newborn have the structure to get a lot of reward out of sensing their body or the world. So I just try to re-apply that strategy.
