Re: finger exercises for arthritic fingers

If you are looking for physical warm-up exercises you may be interested in Janet Horvath's book, "Playing (less) Hurt: An Injury Prevention Guide for Musicians". She has a number of stretches that can be done before playing. I think the section on on-stage warm-ups goes through arm, hand and finger stretches. I like to do these before and after playing, when I have time, since I think they are good for maintaining flexibility and preventing overuse injuries. But I agree with Karl that if you are looking for faster more even fingers while playing, that the scale/arpeggio etc. excercises are the way to go.
