To change the brain the skill you're practicing must ideally have meaning, relevance or importance to you.
So what's important to you? Playing an instrument? Brushing your hair? Cooking?

Neuroplasticity is the mechanism that the brain uses to rewire itself and form new connections. Each time a meaningful task is practiced, those pathways are reinforced and become stronger.
As pathways begin to reform and strengthen, it improves the communication between the brain and body.
Gradually, impairments on the affected side begin to improve because the brain is able to send signals again. The more you practice, the stronger those skills become.

A core part of the ARNI approach is to teach stroke survivors how to cope with falls; the most dangerous part of the balance problems caused by stroke.
Survivors (many of whom have the functional use of just one arm) learn how to get down to, and up from, the floor without any kind of external support to pull themselves up with.
If you want to learn the ARNI approach to coping with falls you need to give us a call on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com and we'll let you know if there's a trainer available to help you.

ARNI training for stroke survivors; as part of the trainers assessment day. New trainers were assessing and training stroke survivors as part of their course. The slide show mainly features Lisa King and Julie Maria Smith; both stroke survivors and friends. It was Lisa's first ARNI session and by the end of it she could get herself safely down to the ground and up again (a key ARNI technique).

As you probably know very well, the impairment of upper limb function significantly impacts daily life quality and necessitates enhanced neurological control. This poses a formidable challenge in the realm of rehabilitation due to its intricate nature.
An interesting 3-week rehabilitation monitoring experiment: "Muscle Synergy Plasticity in Motor Function Recovery after Stroke," has just been published in IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering. It was conducted to assess the motor function of stroke patients at different stages of rehabilitation based on muscle synergy performance.
It showed that high-functioning patients were superior to low-functioning patients in terms of motor function plasticity towards healthy individuals. Moreover, there was a high positive correlation between muscle synergies and clinical scale scores in high-functioning patients, and the significance gradually emerged with treatment, highlighting the potential of muscle synergy plasticity as a valuable tool for monitoring rehabilitation progress.
The potential of this study was also demonstrated for elucidating the physiological mechanisms underlying motor function reconstruction within the central nervous system.
