It's not just about all about a bright white smile anymore! 😬 Scientists have issued a new warning to Britons about the dangers of skipping their dental hygiene. 🦷 A study just published (on October 22nd) in Neurology Open Access has revealed that people with both cavities and gum disease nearly DOUBLE their risk of having a stroke 🤯
Specifically, they face an 86% higher risk of ischemic stroke compared to those with healthy mouths. This is because poor oral health can create dangerous conditions that affect your whole body. So, don't forget to brush twice a day and floss—it's not just good for your teeth, it's good for your heart and brain! ❤#arnistrokerehabstyleA#oralhealthh#strokeawarenessl#healthyhabitse#brushingisimportant#BrushingIsImportant

Power Knee Stabilizer Pads could help stroke survivors regain confidence and mobility with gait control! 🦵✨ These pads could provide the extra support they need to make movement feel lighter and more stable. The powerful spring force helps lift the knee, which could be a game-changer for those dealing with weakness or instability in their legs after a stroke.
Stroke survivors could use these pads for a variety of daily activities, such as walking, climbing stairs and even just standing up from a seated position. The added stability helps reduce the risk of falls and provides peace of mind.
The cost of Power Knee Stabilizer Pads can vary, but they're available on Amazon for around £40 to £50. They are also available on other online marketplaces like eBay and specialised mobility websites like available, where they can be bought for an amazing $16.99 - supersery.com/products/knee-padspairs. If you do get them, let us please know if they're any good for us - I can see they might be good to combat the dreaded 'knee-lock' that can plague us at literally any time!
It's always a good idea to chat with your doctor or physical therapist before using a new mobility aid like this, to make sure it's the right fit for your specific needs. But for many non stroke-survivors, these pads are proving to be a fantastic tool on the road to recovery, so why not#ARNIstrokerehabw#strokesurvivorR#mobilityaidb#recoveryjourney #powerkneepadsR#strokeawarenessPowerKneePads #strokeawareness

👏 A huge thank you to the Mid Cheshire Hospitals Charity and the incredible stroke rehabilitation team at Leighton Hospital! 🤩 Their hard work and support have funded a brand new MOTOmed bike for their rehab unit - and it's already being used and enjoyed by the stroke survivors there. ❤️
This pretty cool piece of equipment allows survivors to begin gentle exercise earlier in their recovery, helping to rebuild strength, coordination, and confidence. 🚴♂️The well-proven MOTOmed features, passive / active / assisted training are enhanced by detailed biofeedback, software controlled therapy programs plus motivation and training games.
MOTOmed LOOP models are a popular choice for home therapy and for professional use in hospitals, therapy centres, education and leisure centres.
What a brilliant initiative for local stroke survivors in the Cheshire area; ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says 'well done that team!'

the team at leighton were brilliant when i was in there, proud to have watched and cheered on the last hour or so of their challenge!
Liz Bedson ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery This is the group I was looking at.
We are so inspired by the incredible work happening at ARNI! 🤩 Dr Tom, founder of ARNI Stroke Rehab UK charity teaching a trainer how to teach a stroke survivor to get up from the floor autonomously using a chair, to get used to the process... 🙏
This isn't just about physical strength; it's about regaining confidence and autonomy. 💪 By teaching specific, functional movements, survivors can get back on their feet and feel empowered, reducing the fear and risk associated with falls. ❤️
A huge thank you to the whole ARNI UK team (some 130 trainers & therapists) for their dedication to helping stroke survivors reclaim their independence!

Wish south Africa had these facilities
I was never shown this or taken through it by physio after my discharge.....😐
I am very happy to have been a member of the ARNI team for over 10 years 🙂 Thank you Tom!
So glad I became an ARNI Instructor nearly 10 years ago. So proud to be working in the north east of England. Making a difference for stroke surviors, and having Access to Dr Tom Balchin 's knowledge and friendship
It’s so important to be able to do. Time for me to go back and watch Dr. Tom’s videos on repeat. I wasn’t shown this in hospital at all. In rehab, when I was asked what my goals were, I’d said to get up from the floor and so of course to be able to safely get down to the floor. That first attempt failed because they hadn’t planned for that allowing for weak left limbs, so when I first came across ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery and read and watched when you say it’s crucial to be able to get down to and up from the floor safely in Volume 1 of the videos. It makes so much sense. I can’t do it yet but I am going back to the videos and starting building up from sit to stand again. I’m watching it again now 😃
Here's a GREAT side-effect for people using O zempic! 🧠 A major study just published in The Lancet has found that weight-loss jabs, specifically sem a glutide can significantly reduce the risk of a stroke. This benefit was shown in overweight people aged 45 and over who already had cardiovascular disease. What's especially interesting is that this risk reduction happens regardless of how much weight is actually lost! 🤯 It suggests the medication has protective effects that go beyond just weight management, potentially impacting inflammation and blood vessel health directly. 💖🩺

AFTER STROKE: IMPROVING STANDING & WALKING BALANCE - It’s completely normal to feel worried or scared about carrying out any balance exercise. They are challenging and all retraining away from a seated position carries a risk of falling.
But it’s vital to continually extend your boundaries whilst minimising the risk to your safety. And it’s equally vital that you ask your therapist or specialist trainer how to do this.

One of the exercises in the Successful Stroke Survivor Book is called Baggy Trousers and its to get your arms swinging when you walk. Remember the song Baggy Trousers by Madness? (you're humming it now aren't you?) Think of how they swung their arms in the video;. That's how you need to swing your arms when walking. All you need to do is swing your good arm and the other does the opposite way. It's really simple! Obviously the book explains it much bette#strokerehabilitations#strokeexerciset#neurorehabe#strokerehabr#ARNIstrokerehabh#neuroplasticityh#StrokeRecoveryc#strokesurvivorscan #strokesurvivorscan
