Although the brain is in a heightened state of plasticity immediately after stroke, neuroplasticity may be activated throughout the recovery process: whether it has been a few months or a few decades since a stroke, the brain is still capable of healing and rewiring.
Studies have shown that the brain is changing itself throughout an entire life time. This means that recovery is continuous. Whenever you stimulate your brain with positive, consistent and repetitive stimulus, the brain will respond.

Hand-eye coordination isn’t just about how well or fast you see things or move your hands. Many of the things we do every day — getting dressed, making lunch, driving a car, even picking up an object — involve our eyes and hands working well together.
Here's an article for you that tells you more.
Get those hands and eyes working together, and enjoy yourself while you’re at it.
And remember if you need some help we have trainers throughout the country. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's one near you who can help you with your recovery.

Sports and activities that improve hand-eye coordination (and why it matters)
www.brainhq.com
Physical activity is always good for the brain. But improving your hand-eye coordination can be even better. Here’s why.
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. Please enquire to arni.uk.com/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/ !

If you practice arm exercises daily – even if it’s for just 10 minutes – then the neural connections are getting constant reinforcement.
This tells your brain that arm movement is important, and your brain will become more and more efficient at moving your arm.
