Let’s break the word “neuroplasticity” down. “Neuro” refers to the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord, and “plasticity” refers to change.
“[Your brain] is constantly changing. You can participate in that process. This means that things are not permanent as we once thought that they were and also that you can heal trauma,” says Lousie Hansen, a psychologist in Edmonton, Australia.
Historically, neuroscientists didn’t always operate on the knowledge of the brain’s capacity to adapt. It was assumed the brain didn’t or couldn’t change once you reached a certain age.
Among other things, this led many to believe that all injuries to the nervous system resulted in fixed outcomes: lifelong damages and limitations.
Nowadays, neuroscientists have discovered that this isn’t always true.
Through a process called neurogenesis, some cells in the brain grow and heal, particularly during the early years. In other words, new neurons and new connections between existing ones are sometimes created.
New brain skills are created by having new experiences and building new skills.
Every new experience you have, from grabbing a coffee at an unfamiliar cafe to hiking a mountain in a new country, can impact the brain. This can protect cognitive function and prevent age-related degeneration.

If you have upper limb difficulties, this is the DVD that will be your ally. Here, Dr Tom shows you how you, too, can get as excellent function back in your upper limb as he has. He shows you what he did to gain function and shows tools that he has built to help survivors train their reach, grasp and release. He then shows you exactly how to make or acquire what you need to do what many hundreds of people have used to significantly (and very quickly) to reduce spasticity and flaccidity – and to gain control again of your more-affected hand.

If you feel overwhelmed, take a step back and breathe. You don’t need to win the war today. You only need to win the battle.
Instead of trying to get as much done as possible, just focus on 1% improvement every day. This will help prevent burnout and accumulate real results over time.

Mental practice involves mentally rehearsing something before you actually do it. Professional athletes are known to implement mental practice to improve their sport, and stroke survivors can also benefit from this technique.
Try mentally practicing your rehab exercises for 5 minutes before you practice them in real life. Studies have shown that visualizing yourself moving helps activate neuroplasticity the same way that physically moving does.
Mental practice is especially helpful for survivors who are affected by paralysis and cannot move without assistance yet. It provides a way to help the brain rewire itself without requiring movement. This technique can also be combined with passive rehab exercises where someone is moving your affected limb for you.

So what is subluxation? It is a partial dislocation of the arm at the shoulder joint that occurs in many people after a stroke. In most cases the humerus (upper arm bone) drops down out of the shoulder joint. This condition is caused by inappropriate neural drive to the muscles of the shoulder, causing either extreme muscle weakness or spastic muscles.
Stand relaxed, with your shoulders at your sides. Now you need to try to think about squeezing your shoulders towards the level of your ears. The aim is for the slope of your shoulders to become as symmetrical and as close to the horizontal as possible. Breathe in as you pull the shoulders up, hold for a few counts at the top, whilst squeezing your neck muscles together hard. Then slowly lower your shoulders again whilst breathing out. Do not rotate your shoulders – no need for that. Up, hold and down works best. Try doing this whilst looking in a mirror and evaluate your progress. Do not get down-hearted however, if it appears that your drop-shoulder is very significant. Provided it is not misaligned, I have seen the problem, and usually the pain, lessen in most cases. And over time, for many people, it will disappear as long as you are taking part in effortful exercise, especially if you able to get further into resistance training No need to hold onto any weight for now. Any weight held in your hands can come later once you are happy with the technique.
