Apart from ‘being there’ to fill the void after formal therapy finishes, for whatever reason, and to tackle the prevalent problem of stroke survivors with huge potential believing that they will never walk or use their hand again, probably the most important thing that ARNI Instructors are taught is how to show stroke survivors to 'self-train' and get into a pattern (customised programme) of doing so, by THEMSELVES.

A review of The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin.
Comprehensive and detailed
It is a book with a LOT of information, but all the information is so useful.
The exercises are really clear and helpful to guide someone through how to start and challenge themselves to keep moving after having a stroke and for those looking after them too.

Exercise: The Metronome This exercise consists of moving from one foot to another, trying to force weight through the affected leg and equalise your hip placement in relation to your stance. It will go some way towards increasing your confidence in your ability to cope with drop-foot and instability. Even subjects with severe limitations from stroke are able to improve their speed and precision of weight shifting by reducing the weight-transfer time toward both legs in a proportionate mannerStand with your feet at shoulder width. Keep your knees unlocked. Then simply sway from one foot to the other, lifting the feet alternately. Spend one or two seconds on each leg.
Find out more about this exercise, and how exactly to do it ,in The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin.

repetition is the key to recovery. The more you practice, the stronger the neural pathways that are beginning to reform are strengthened.
So, always continue to set, and refine, goals and make rehabilitation exercises a priority in your daily routine in order to maximize your recovery potential.
And remember! We have trainers throughout the country who can help you. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to see if there's one near you.

Dear all at ARNI,
I want to Thankyou for the excellent day yesterday. I found it most informative and useful and Stewart was so good and explained so much about the connection between my arm and fingers that it all clicked and I could see the reason for the exercises., some I had already been trying to do but often had very negative thoughts of “ what’s the point.?it’s never going to work, why bother?” I came home filled with enthusiasm and started exercising immediately. And was amazed how relaxed my hand was all evening, in fact it felt like someone else’s . I woke late this morning after an excellent sleep. I just wanted to say Thankyou for the invitation and to say I feel so much better about my self and can see a positive way forward.
You do a brilliant job, thankyou. Best wishes, JJ
We love it when we receive messages like these. it makes it all worthwhile.

Stretches, by themselves, do nothing for your long term functional movement. They are designed to facilitate tasks so if you're only doing stretches you need 'to do something' after the stretch.
The main reason that stretching is good for you as a stroke survivor is that it will release tight muscles temporarily, which will make a difference to your exercise form.
Those with low tone need to prevent muscles becoming thin through lack of use (atrophy). They need to try to thicken the muscles (hypertrophy). A paradox about spasticity is that due to the spinal cord firing signals to the muscles all the time, high tone muscles don't have much chance to atrophy. So, high tone can lead to shorter but thicker muscles and low tone muscles might become longer but thinner. This holds implications for the need to stretch before resistance training, which is why I will show you a simple grouping of ankle, calf and hamstring stretches that you can do before, during and after sessions.
