Exercise: Table rhythm-swings This was one of the first real ‘tester’ exercises I ever tried in my own initial retraining, and it is hard work. It doesn’t sound like it: simply sitting on a table and swinging your legs underneath you rhythmically. I remember doing it one day, and being so surprised at the real difficulty I was having with it. So, I tried hard to actively retrain for it, and then practiced it outside of the session room as part of my ADL’s (refer back to Chapter 6). Try and get into it. You may manage to do it for a few swings, but you will soon start to ‘stutter’ and lose the rhythm. It will drive you crazy! Performing this exercise is a very ‘mental’ exercise. Depending upon your degree of injury, you may be stuck completely and unable to move, or feel your leg ‘catching and releasing’. Or you may be able to swing the affected leg freely in accurate rhythm with the good leg. It is a very exhilarating feeling when you manage to do it. Put some music with a beat on or use a metronome. Please persist; if you try hard at this, and build it in to your training routine, it will impact very positively upon your walking ability. Figs. 1 – 2. Sit on a table, or high bench. If you have a affected hand which means that you cannot do this very well, get someone to help you. Swing your good leg back and forth underneath you rhythmically as far up and beneath the table or high bench as it will comfortably go without you over-extending (Fig. 1). Now stop moving the good leg and attempt to do the same with the affected leg. Swing your affected leg rhythmically. Try pulling your toes back at the top of the forward swing. You can see how far, with foot drop you are likely to be able to do this (see Fig. 2). The progression from this is to try swinging both legs alternately, repeatedly, without ‘stuttering’. If you can do this, you are doing well.
From The Successful Stroke Survivor by Tom Balchin
Get 'stuck-in' to your self-recovery. Your involvement is the key to the whole deal. The most exciting thing is that although stroke will most probably have altered you irreparably, the longer you’re a stroke survivor, the more you’ll come to notice that you can control, adapt and train through many, if not all, of your limitations.

The ARNI Approach uses short, formal retraining sessions which encompass task-related training, physical coping strategies and resistance training. You can do them yourself or with the help of a trainer. All of these three complement each other and the sum of the three will give better outcomes from the limitations from stroke than using them separately.

APPROPRIATE compensations are those that are necessary for the performance of a specific task in a given environment at a certain time but that do not persist once the task has been accomplished. These compensatory strategies should diminish over time.
INAPPROPRIATE compensations are those that persist beyond the completion of a task, limit other functions, or the completion of a task, limit other functions, or mask potential for further recovery.

Sleep helps improve movement recovery after stroke by turning the short-term memories from the day into long-term memories. It also gives the brain time to rest and recharge.
Many stroke survivors can be concerned by how much they sleep after a stroke. If you find yourself sleeping lots during recovery, it’s probably a good sign.
