Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil has revealed he suffered a stroke at home last Christmas and that doctors doubted he would be able to take to the stage ever again.
He says: "It's been tough, but I'm back, I'm 90, 95% to where I was before, and it's going to be great."
Well done Vince!

For many stroke survivors, regaining hand and arm function after experiencing post-stroke spasticity can be an incredibly difficult and frustrating journey. Traditional treatments like Botox injections or oral medications can offer temporary relief, but often come with side effects and inconvenience. But what if a new, non-invasive wearable technology could offer relief and promote lasting recovery? Meet the VTS Glove.
This wireless, glove-like device uses high-frequency vibrations to provide targeted therapeutic tactile stimulation to the hand and fingers. It is designed for daily, at-home use, allowing survivors to incorporate rehabilitation into their daily lives for approximately three hours a day. It's been proven in trials to lead to significant reductions in spasticity and hypertonia in the hands of chronic stroke survivors and has been shown to allow survivors to regain greater control and use of their affected hand.
A patient at the University of Southampton, who was unable to move his hand for eight years after his stroke, was able to move it again with the help of a similar device, calling the experience ‘breathtaking.’
Since it can be used at home, the glove offers a more accessible and less disruptive therapy option compared to frequent clinic visits for injections or other treatments. Some participants in clinical trials reported voluntarily reducing or stopping their oral muscle relaxants or Botox injections, relying instead on the VTS Glove for symptom relief.

Reaching for a high-intensity, high-repetition recovery from your stroke? 🧠💪 Bring on the Novint Falcon haptic device.
Post-stroke recovery hinges on neuroplasticity; the brain's ability to reorganise itself to compensate for injury. Intensive, repetitive, and task-specific training is key to driving this process. The Novint Falcon, a cost-effective, commercially available haptic device, leverages virtual reality (VR) to provide a potent platform for this type of rehabilitation. By simulating a sense of touch, weight, and friction, it creates a more immersive and effective therapeutic environment.
In the picture of the Novint Falcon haptic device, it can be seen mounted with one of the first 3D Touch devices with haptic feedback for computer games. The idea is that you would physically FEEL objects and events in games.
Studies have shown that haptic-enhanced VR training can significantly improve fine motor functions, hand grasping abilities, and coordination in stroke survivors, even those in the chronic stage. The device's ability to simulate tasks like handwriting and object manipulation provides a realistic, low-cost training tool.
By integrating gamified tasks, the Novint Falcon increases patient motivation and engagement. The engaging nature of the exercises promotes higher repetition and longer training sessions, which are crucial for optimal recovery. Its relatively low cost makes it a strong candidate for at-home rehabilitation. Combining it with a smartphone and a custom application allows for frequent, unsupervised practice, extending the reach of therapy beyond the clinic! 🚀

How has hard work and high-intensity therapy made a difference in your recovery journey? 👇
Supporters of ARNI Stroke Rehab board on Facebook know all too well that strokes are life-altering, but recovery must a journey paved with hard work and determination! 🧠💪 The latest evidence in neurorehabilitation shows that passive therapy isn't enough. The real magic happens with high-intensity, high-repetition training ✨ Active participation is key because you have to actively engage your brain's learning networks for the best results. The more you do, the stronger those neural connections become.
Challenge yourself! Higher intensity exercises push your brain to rewire and recover faster. This isn't just about movement; it's about neuroplasticity! 💥 Your brain is amazing at rewiring itself, and intense, repetitive training gives it the boost it needs. So, let's celebrate every rep, every challenging session, and every small vi#arni!#ARNIstrokerehabo#strokerecoveryr#strokesurvivore#neurorehabt#strokerehabilitationha#EvidenceBasedMedicinen #EvidenceBasedMedicine

We know that plasticity can make crucial adjustments to the way information flows round your brain, creating new connections between neurons. Plasticity can be harnessed to work for you, or allowed ultimately to work against you as your brain recovers and adapts to the situation. You have the capability, right here, right now to work with your incredible, constantly changing brain. Understanding that you are directly affecting your own neural rewiring by the things you do will change your perspective on every exercise that you instigate from now on.

We all know that if we can’t walk around properly, it significantly impacts on our independence. Recent research highlights the effectiveness and safety of the ReWalk ReStore™ soft robotic exosuit for improving walking ability in stroke survivors. This innovative device is revolutionising gait training by providing targeted, active assistance to the affected ankle, helping to overcome common mobility challenges.
It consists of an actuator assembly, calf wrap assembly, and shoe insole. A power supply is integrated into the actuator assembly. Bowden cables span these components to transmit assistive forces generated by the actuator to the ankle. One of the cables is located anterior to the ankle and the other is located posterior to the ankle. When the anterior cable is retracted, an ankle dorsiflexion torque is produced. When the posterior cable is retracted, an ankle plantarflexion torque is produced.
The ReStore is uniquely designed to assist both the dorsiflexion (lifting the foot) and plantarflexion (pushing off) actions of the ankle, which are crucial for ground clearance and propulsion during walking. By synchronising its assistance with the patient's own movement, it helps retrain proper gait mechanics.
A multi-site clinical trial found that after just five days of training with the ReStore, participants saw clinically meaningful increases in both their device-assisted and unassisted walking speeds. Some patients achieved even larger gains in a short period. The trial also confirmed the exosuit's safety and reliability when used under the supervision of a physical therapist. No device-related falls or serious adverse events were reported, and users reported high satisfaction with the device.
The ReStore's active assistive approach can probably offer a more advanced solution compared to passive devices like AFOs. It helps retrain and re-engage muscles, rather than simply bracing the ankle.

Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience this difficulty: to comprehend or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident. In half of these cases the language impairment still persists one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social isolation.
If you need help, ARNI SLT Telerehab can now help YOU, right now, wherever you are in the world!
The latest evidence shows clearly that you can conquer aphasia very successfully with the help of speech and language therapy.
And it also shows that SLT Telerehab is just as effective as in-person, face to face treatment.

The Best Stroke Rehab Tech of 2025 🧠🦾✨ The Vivistim Paired VNS System is leading the charge as one of the most exciting neurorehabilitation technologies of this year. This system combines Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) with intensive task-specific therapy to drive neuroplasticity and deliver sustained, clinically significant improvements in chronic stroke survivors with moderate-to-severe upper extremity deficits.
The system delivers brief pulses of stimulation to the vagus nerve during a therapist-guided rehabilitation session. This pairing enhances the brain's natural ability to reorganize neural circuits, reinforcing the connections needed for regaining arm and hand function, acting as a powerful reinforcement signal to the brain.
Recent findings published in the last 2025 issue of Stroke validated the long-term effectiveness of the therapy. One year after completing the protocol, survivors maintained significant and clinically meaningful improvements in motor function, activity, participation, and quality of life.
The VNS-REHAB trial demonstrated proven efficacy: that stroke survivors receiving paired VNS therapy had improvements in hand and arm function that were two to three times greater than those who received conventional rehabilitation alone.
For us stroke survivors, who are often told that recovery potential plateaus, the Vivistim system could offer new hope for regaining independence in daily tasks. The tech is safe, well-tolerated, and is gaining significant adoption within comprehensive stroke centres. For clinicians, it represents an evidence-based tool for expanding the therapeutic options available for chronic stroke rehabilitation.
