Exercise: Prone leg curls This is an absolutely essential movement to do, two times per week or more. A problem I still have, and one I see in many stroke survivors, is that they have very little strength in the hamstring muscle at the back of the affected leg. This problem can continue for years without people realising realising it, especially if they seem to be getting around well. However, I promise you that your ability to walk will be vastly improved if you do this exercise. I would rank it in the top 3 things that you need to do in terms of retraining in order to walk well again.
Unfortunately in most stroke survivors, myself included, the hamstring muscles at the back of the legs are so badly weakened from non-activation whilst in hospital (when the muscles literally shrank), and from subsequent neglect afterwards, that a surprising amount of stroke survivors often cannot raise their affected foot very far towards the back of their leg in a lying position, let alone a standing position. They just haven’t got the strength.
Find out more about how to exercise these muscles in The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin.

Stretching and passive range of motion exercises can help minimize the effects of spasticity and can also activate neuroplasticity.
Therefore, having someone move your arm or leg for you can help repair the brain’s connection to your muscles. And the stronger the communication, the less spasticity you will experience.

Dr Tom writes (in Successful Stroke Survivor): 'After a stroke you are different. But ‘different’ does not automatically have a negative connotation. You also have a rare chance to manipulate your whole lifestyle and world as you rehabilitate. You don’t have to be become a lesser person than you were, simply because you have less ability to move around, and for now, less strength. You were close to death when having a stroke, so I’d be very surprised if you didn’t have, in time, a desire to get in touch with the richness that life has to offer. The winds of creativity are stirring'.
