🎥So, did anyone watch the BBC Tech Now on Saturday and watch STH neurologist Dr Sheharyar Baig speaking about new 'at-home' tech?⚡ If you didn't, in the programme Dr Baig talks about the innovative Triceps trial and its potential impact on those living with stroke where they use a specialised device and connected earpiece to stimulate the vagus nerve to strengthen hand and arm mobility while carrying out rehabilitation exercises.

Unlike earlier versions of vagus nerve stimulation, which required surgery to implant a device, the Triceps treatment is non-invasive and can be used at home. For example, Amanda, who suffered a stroke six years ago, and still has problems moving her right hand, used the device for up to an hour a day as part of her rehab over 12 weeks, combining it with exercises and everyday tasks.

"At first I didn't think it was going to work at all," she says. "But after a couple of weeks, I started to see changes in my hand." One of the biggest milestones for her was returning to sewing – a passion she could not initially pursue after her stroke. "I can put my socks on, I can do my shoes, I can do my house," she told the BBC.

More than 220 people have taken part in the trial so far, which is running across 19 NHS hospital sites across the country, including the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. Recruitment for the trial - which has now been expanded to 270 participants following an independent review - is ongoing, with recruitment due to close in July.

If you think you'd like a go on the trial (and haven't been turned down for it like Dale?!), apply to Trial Manager: Kirsty McKendrick (kirsty.mckendrick@sheffield.ac.uk).

Passive range-of-motion exercises are movements where another person is moving your affected limbs through their range of motion on a regular, ideally daily, basis. Although you aren’t “doing it on your own,” passive movement helps stimulate the brain and activate neuroplasticity.

If you want some help with your recovery call 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com We have trainers throughout the country.

When something is done frequently, it lets the brain know that task is important and the brain responds by making that task easier to accomplish.

So, perhaps you would like to walk upstairs independently. Great!

That might be a longer-term goal. First you must be able to stand with support. Then, you need to be able to lift one leg and support your weight with the other leg. Then you need to move yourself up a step. Review what you can do now and work from there.

Stepping up could be a very difficult thing to do straight away, so your short-term goals might include specific exercises, for example marching, or squats, that strengthen the muscles that you need to climb the stairs. Once you have mastered this, you could increase the repetitions, or move on to stepping up to a low step. Then increase the height of the step, or the number of steps, and so on, until you complete the longer term goal of walking up stairs independently.

Whatever your personal goal, the trick is to break it down into smaller, achievable tasks.

Integrating virtual reality into rehab can increase upper limb rehabilitation repetitions by up to 500%! A collaborative pilot study in Belfast has just demonstrated this: the Belfast Health and Social Care Trust recently partnered with eXRt to trial Resynk, an immersive rehabilitation platform designed to address the challenges of traditional, repetitive therapy.

During the six-month pilot, stroke survivors engaged in a combination of conventional occupational therapy and gamified VR sessions to compare movement volume and patient engagement levels. The results revealed that patients achieved significantly higher repetitions within the digital environment, with one individual reaching nearly 800 movements in a single session.

Beyond the quantitative data, participants reported enhanced motivation and improved mood, reflecting ARNI Stroke Rehab UK Charity's focus on the psychological benefits of progressive & intensive retraining. By providing flexible, bedside access to high-intensity training, this tech seems to offer a reasonably good solution for us stroke survivors and their ARNI neuro-instructors re-training in home situations.🧠

When a stroke affects your ability to concentrate or notice your environment, it can result in poor balance. For example, you may slip on a step, not because your legs are weak, but because you simply did not notice the step. Therefore, improving your attention can help with regaining balance after a stroke.

Contact us if you need help with this.

A revolutionary portable neuroimaging device for rapid, point-of-care stroke detection is poised to transform emergency recovery outcomes following a significant international funding breakthrough. 🏥

New Zealand medtech firm Wellumio has secured NZ$7.28 million in pre-Series A funding to advance its Axana technology, a portable brain scanner designed to unlock life-saving treatment within the critical ‘golden hour’. This development is of interest to ARNI Stroke Rehab UK, as immediate detection is the vital precursor to the successful long-term physical retraining and neuroplasticity that the charity provides.

The investment round, led by Nuance Connected Capital, ensures that this portable diagnostic tool moves closer to global clinical application for the benefit of survivors. This advancement represents a critical step in the stroke pathway, ensuring that survivors can access intensive, task-specific training with the best possible neurological starting point. As medical tech evolves, we reckon that the integration of rapid diagnostics with the high-level rehabilitation expertise of the ARNI Stroke Rehab UK Institute and Charity promises a slightly more optimistic future for survivors across the UK. 🧠
