It is often hard to complete hand exercises if you are experiencing pain from arthritis. Possible inflammation and rough joint surfaces can make movement irritable at times.
There is hope to strengthen the hand without causing pain! Isometric exercises can be an effective way to strengthen disused muscles because of pain with movement. Overtime you can progress to moving weight through a range of motion!
For all the isometric exercises, hold for 5-8 seconds and complete 5-8 reps for 2 sets. Let pain be your judge on how hard you should push and how long. Try to work at a relatively pain free intensity.
