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.

Have you heard of lateropulsion ?
While the problem is common, lateropulsion is still severely under recognized and under assessed around the world.
This article tells you more about it.

The hidden struggle of lateropulsion in stroke survivors
www.news-medical.net
Lateropulsion, a clinical condition which results in the body leaning to one side, affects about half of all stroke survivors.
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.

A review in the Journal of Advanced Nursing (Task-oriented training in rehabilitation after stroke: systematic review) was conducted in Holland by Resnick et al (42 papers in the final dataset, including nine systematic reviews) to provide an overview of the evidence in the literature on task-oriented training of stroke survivors and its relevance in daily nursing practice.
It revealed that studies of task-related training showed more benefit for functional outcomes compared with traditional therapies. Active use of task-oriented training with stroke
survivors will lead to improvements in functional outcomes and overall health-related quality of life.
The conclusion was that generally, task-oriented rehabilitation proved to be more effective and that many interventions are feasible for nurses and can be performed in a ward or at home. Further, that nurses can and should play an important role in creating opportunities to practise meaningful functional tasks outside of regular therapy sessions.
This paper is now 15 years old!
The evidence has been there for so long, but time and resources render this often so difficult for nurses to do in practice, where management of wards is usually the priority, building out time for nurses to do this. Nurses recommending possibilities to patients and families 'how to do it' when they reach community though would be good...

I..... Can’t stop taking natural remedies because it calms me down from depression, I'm speaking from experience when I say that pills don't always work for everyone. I've had this terrible mental health issue for a long time, but it wasn'tuntil I found Dr Agrbo solution home on Facebook that he used natural remedies to treat my anxiety and depressive disorder.

ARNI aims to enhance individual's ability to manage their own rehabilitation and exercise programme. This is achieved through a variety of strategies and techniques including education in exercise principles after stroke, developing skills in goal setting, functional problem solving and self-monitoring, and establishing a programme of regular independent home-based exercise.
ARNI is designed as a personalised programme with substantial one-to-one training to ensure individual tailoring of activities, feedback and progression, and encouragement to work at the edge of personal capacity. It also often combines these features with the benefits of group programmes which include peer support, pair work and efficient use of resources, particularly the ARNI Delivery Manual (Successful Stroke Survivor) 2021 updated version.
