.Stroke recovery may last years. Every day is a chance to get better. Even if you feel that you have plateaued, most likely are wrong, push through and tell yourself tomorrow is another chance to recover some more. So never give up.

Breakthrough drug triples stroke treatment window! Recent phase two clinical trials for the novel pharmaceutical LT3001 suggest a monumental shift in emergency care by extending the viable treatment window from four hours to a full day... wow!
While the traditional thrombolytic agent tPA is often restricted by safety concerns and a narrow administration timeframe, this new agent appears both safer and more inclusive for various patient profiles. Dr Thomas Devlin highlights that this development addresses the critical 'time is brain' constraint which currently leaves many survivors without acute medical intervention.
The study indicates that LT3001 might offer a vital second chance for those who do not reach hospital immediately after the onset of symptoms. As lifestyle factors like obesity and hypertension continue to drive stroke incidence, having a robust 24 hour pharmacological option could significantly improve long term recovery prospects.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that for survivors in the UK, routine implementation in the NHS will likely require several more years of rigorous phase 3 testing and NICE cost effectiveness appraisals. This emerging therapy does however represent a real advancement in neurological science... that could eventually redefine standard hospital protocols across the country. 🏥🧠🔬✨📢

Here's a useful article for you about therapy putty. Unlike grip strengtheners, resistance bands, or hand exercisers, therapy putty allows for a more dynamic and customisable range of movements. It provides varying levels of resistance based on the force applied, enabling you to progress at your own pace. Additionally, therapy putty adapts to different grip positions and finger movements, making it useful for both gross and fine motor skill development.

The 3 most powerful ways to recover after stroke | ARNI

Stroke is the commonest cause of physical disability in the world and although there are many excellent services to help stroke survivors, there is no doubt that the continuation of practice and…
So, the latest data reveals that there's going to be a substantial escalation in stroke prevalence among women (worldwide) over the coming quarter century 📢📈. Data suggests that stroke rates in the female population are expected to rise from 4.1 per cent in 2020 to 6.7 per cent by 2050 as cardiovascular disease becomes an even more critical public health priority 🏥🧬.
This shift is primarily driven by an ageing demographic alongside rising clinical incidences of obesity and diabetes which are now appearing in increasingly younger age cohorts ⚖️🍎. Professor Karen E. Joynt Maddox notes that if current trends persist more than one in three women will succumb to cardiovascular conditions 💸📉.
While traditional risk factors like smoking are declining the projected surge in hypertension to 59.1 per cent represents a significant call to action for preventative healthcare strategies 🩺🚨. Experts emphasise that this trajectory sets up entire generations of girls to develop heart failure or atrial fibrillation at a much younger age than previously observed in historical records 🧩👩⚕️.
Addressing these adverse trends requires urgent intervention focused on metabolic health and sleep quality to mitigate the long term impact of these neurological and cardiovascular challenges 🧠💪.

Does a stroke bring on diabetes?
My stroke at 34 was from the combined pill, be careful ladies.
I don't think menopause helps much more either!

A fun but quite simplistic poster for you! So, is neuroplasticity just heightened/stoked through just 'doing more reps? Not really. Even now, only a fair amount idea is known about the optimal timing of the different processes and therapeutic interventions and for their interactions in detail.
The average stroke survivor probably only gets (or does) one twentieth of the input they need to put in to increase chances of recovery. So maybe doing LOADS more reps PLUS being cognisant of the point that the goal (finding optimal rehabilitation paradigms) will require an optimal organisation of the internal processes of neural plasticity PLUS the therapeutic interventions in accordance with plastic time windows (which can be highly manipulated anyway in many cases!
All rather tricky! But do take heart: brain plasticity can lead to an extreme degree of spontaneous recovery and rehabilitative training, especially ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery style (!) may modify and boost the neuronal plasticity processes.

Great work guys, from a stroke survivor, but at first glance I thought he was eating a giant kebab meat rotisserie. 🤪
Task-related practice is the ‘number one’ way to retrain the brain. It means simply to train the action to be performed in a natural environment. For example, if you wanted to lift a mug and drink from it, you should take a mug and practice lifting and drinking from it, over and over again … and attempt to improve progressively and consistently.

Stroke survivor and Omagh native Paul Allen is set to launch his poignant debut memoir, 'The Final Peace: -A Stroke Survivor’s Journey, at the Tara Centre on Friday 13th March 2026. 📢✨
Currently residing in Lisburn for over 45 years, Paul meticulously crafted this 326-page narrative over thirteen years to document his resilience following an atypical stroke that initially went undiagnosed for four months. 🖋️🧠 The work provides an academic-level examination of neurological trauma, covering his pre-existing keratoconus and the profound psychological shift required to adjust from the 'old Paul' to a new version of himself. 🌊🧭
Supported by a foreword from Neurology Consultant Dr Enda Kerr, the text offers an unromanticised analysis of the long-term recovery process, including a period of prescription drug addiction and his subsequent triumph navigating the European inland waterways. ⚓🗺️
This inspirational event, scheduled from 2 pm to 4 pm in the Great Hall, aims to foster community understanding and provide practical advice for those grappling with hidden disabilities and forced retirement. 🤝🏥 Attendees will benefit from a book reading and a Q&A session focused on the transformative power of pursuing dreams as a core component of a personal rehabilitation strategy. 🗣️💪
By sharing his internal journey of discovery, Paul demonstrates that while medical intervention is vital, the ultimate task of rebuilding the mind often rests with the survivor's own agency and perseverance -nice one Paul 🧩📖

Good advice Pam 😉 And Ciaran, have you come across the new (2024) Lucas Brand Moyamoya Foundation ? They're really trying hard to make a difference - maybe contact them to see if you could get involved/use your know-how (if appropriate?!) lucasbrandmmfoundation.co.uk/ Tom
Thanks for sharing this! I'm in a nearby city and didn't know about it, or Paul's story.
Relate strongly to the survivor's agency: the most powerful tool I feel I have, which I've had to develop, is self-advocacy. Because my brain disease is rare (moyamoya disease), I've found that support and understanding is limited, so I've navigated treating myself like my own support worker. Exhausting, but feels more effective than leaving it for health workers to understand invisible deficits from a rare disease that are hard, almost impossible, to explain.
