Have you tried to play the guitar after stroke? Used it as a rehab tool? Many people who played the guitar prior to stroke try to get back to using it; over 23 years I've see lots of people bring in instruments... one chap even brought in and set up his whole drum set!
A quick highlight of an RCT just published in Acta Med Philipp called G.T.A.R.A - which describes Grip/Grasp Training with Active Range of Motion Activities Using Guitar': A Randomized Controlled Trial Using Guitar Lessons for Restoring Hand Function among Patients with Unilateral Hand Impairment.
Anyway, the study's object was to determine the effects of guitar lessons (intervention group) in comparison to conventional occupational therapy (OT) sessions (control group) on hand function of chronic stroke patients with unilateral hand impairment.
Of interest is that the the specific guitar lesson created and performed in this study as used by 17 participants of the intervention group brought about improvement in hand function that was COMPARABLE with those who underwent traditional occupational therapy.
This may be most helpful in areas with limited access to rehabilitation facilities and occupational therapy services... and also may also be used as a continuing activity of chronic stroke patients at home to help improve hand function. Further, an 11.8% tendency for better compliance was found in the intervention group.. probably because it became reasonably enjoyable to do? What do you think?

The Tipster exercise: This exercise is a critical self-stretch you can do for loosening up your fingers if they become seriously curled into your palm and painful after concentrating hard on performing any task-related training or ADL(activities of daily living).
The action mimics the offering of a secretive tip or bribe to someone behind your back (seen only in the movies!) Think about that word ‘tip’ though: it ultimately serves to ‘tip’ your fingers away from your palm.

A testimonial on why The Successful Stroke Survivor book is the right book for someone recovering from a stroke.........Following my traumatic brain injury, I was determined and relentless to get back on the road to recovery. For guidance on the road to functional recovery and alongside my physiotherapist, this was the book for me. Tom Balchin details the latest evidence based techniques and ARNI approaches to help recovery. I found particularly useful the ways to help reduce spasticity and decline in upper limb as well as how to regain hand and finger function as well as strengthening exercises for lower limb function. Through such detailed and informative advice, married with clear illustrations you are taken through detailed text involving key concepts such as brain plasticity followed by the steps to retrain your affected limbs for the purposes of functionality. For example, to get up from the floor. If you stick with Tom's methods and practice practice practice, you are sure to see results! I even followed this with a session with Tom himself! Absolutely great! charity.

Have YOU got aphasia?
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.
We have a team of highly experienced low-cost specialist SLTs (all post-grads from Universities such as UCL, the University of Cape Town etc) who are available to help you right now, in your home, via Zoom. You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist.

Mum had severe aphasia after suffering a dense stroke which has also left her unable to walk, with her right side paralysed. We were terribly disappointed by the lack of therapy she received to date...
Balance control is basically the foundation of your ability to move and function independently. Becoming more skilled at balance recovery helps make you more adaptable to being off balance and more skilled at recovering balance in unstable situations and/or after perturbations. This is why we ask stroke survivors to challenge themselves with off-balance training. Personally, I never fall completely over, even if I trip up. Even when stumbling when breaking into a run for the train or tripping over a raised pavement slab. This is because, over time. I have learned to do something important. My brain knows, via practice, when my balance has failed, and has learned to move my good foot forward instinctively and very quickly, to cope with the trip. This rapid step is key. It allows me to shift the balance of my weight back to a position from which I can recover. I might have to bring my good hand right to the floor at worst to steady myself and cope with the trip, especially when going upstairs, but I do not fall heavily onto my hip and shoulder like so many stroke survivors. You can attain this ability too, by practising balancing on one leg and other techniques which actively invite off-balanceness.
