The Mirror Box is a tool that is designed to make neuroplasticity work for you via intense mental stimulation. Designed originally for those suffering from phantom limb pain, it has subsequently been found that imagining movement of arms and legs that have been weakened from stroke can trigger a group of ‘mirror neurons’, which can assist functional recovery of affected limbs. The idea is that movement of the more-affected limb can be stimulated via visual cues originating from the opposite side of the body. This portable folding Mirror Box is the best one I have seen because it can collapse to the width of a standard A4 folder, and expand to allow my Burmese cat to hide inside! You simply place your affected hand in it and practice conducting symmetrical movements, The brain sees the more affected limb as normal: the idea is that you are ‘tricking’ it into thinking the you are moving your affected hand in the same way as your good hand. Interestingly, one trial showed that looking at the mirror image of your good hand increased the excitability of neurons in the primary motor cortex significantly more than looking at your affected hand directly with no mirror. There does not, however seem to be any available evidence that it helps spasticity. There is moderate evidence from one recent trial41 showing that in the sub-acute period post-stroke, hand functioning improved more after mirror therapy in addition to a retraining programme compared with a control treatment. Basically, it’s something to try alongside your work with this approach if you need.

Calling all stroke survivors with speech and language difficulties, did you know that there is a powerful new tool for you on the horizon called AphasiaGPT?! 🧠💬 You can sign up here: mvp.aphasiagpt.ai/auth
🧑⚕️🗣️ It works by simplifying language input and providing clear adaptable feedback, helping users improve their communication skills, practice speaking or writing in a safe space and regain confidence in conversation.
So, how can people with aphasia best approach this amazing tech? 🤔 Start slow! Treat AphasiaGPT as a friendly conversation partner or a digital therapist's aid, not a test. Use it to practice naming objects, rehearse social conversations, or simply type out thoughts without fear of judgment. Encourage experimentation with short phrases or even single words at first, gradually building complexity. The key is consistent, low-stress practice! 🏡
Regarding the evidence for its benefits so far: while research is still in its early stages and clinical trials are ongoing, anecdotal evidence from pilot programmes and early studies is incredibly promising 📊 Researchers are seeing improvements in word retrieval, confidence levels, and general communication frequency.
The ability of the AI to adapt to individual progress suggests it could become a significant supplement to traditional speech and language therapy, potentially increasing the intensity and frequency of rehabilitation needed for maximum recovery.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK is definitely optimistic about the future of this in supporting survivor#ARNIstrokerehabR#aphasiagpti#strokerecoveryo#aphasiaawarenesse#aiinheIinHe

Have you ever seen a cat who's had a stroke? 🐱💔 We haven't either, but this cat has idiopathic vestibular syndrome, which is very similar to a stroke in its symptoms - both conditions can cause sudden signs of balance loss, head tilt, falling sometimes rapid eye movements... kitty recovering well in the video!🌍🌀
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that the good news is that, unlike many strokes, this condition usually isn't life-threatening and often improves significantly on its own with supportive care, love and patience from dedicated owners!

Aside from helping the brain heal, deep sleep also offers other, fantastic benefits to stroke survivors.
For example, REM sleep – the deep sleep that occurs at intervals throughout the night – helps your brain process motor information. When your brain achieves REM sleep, there are spikes of neural activities that occur, known as sleep spikes. During these neural spikes, the brain transfers short-term memories about muscle movement to the temporal lobe where they become long-term memories.
Therefore, quality sleep can actually help stroke survivors regain proper muscle movement and strength. Since most stroke patients struggle with mobility problems, this is an incentive for stroke patients to focus on getting enough sleep.

A remarkable new rehabilitation tool has been developed under the guidance of the brilliant Prof. Kenneth Fong! 🧑💻 The device is called the Powered Rehab Skateboard, and it's specifically engineered to help stroke survivors regain function in their weakened arms from the comfort of their own homes.
Arm exercises are obvs incredibly difficult to perform consistently; which is where the 'skateboard' comes in. It's essentially a smart, motorised platform that provides gentle support for the affected arm. Through carefully programmed, repetitive motions, the device guides the limb through therapeutic movements, effectively making daily, intensive physical therapy, to back up the home 🏡 rehab work your ARNI trainer is helping you with, possible . 💡
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK comments that this appears to be a fantastic blend of engineering and rehab know-how 🧐 To find out when UK stroke survivors might be able to buy or use it, patients and caregivers should check for updates through relevant NHS rehabilitation services or look for official announcements from Prof. Kenneth Fong’s research team 💪🧠✨

The ARNI approach recommends that a good 70% to 80% of your time doing upper limb work should be spent attempting grasp and release work exclusively, even if you can’t do it. You’ve got to try. The reason for this high percentage is that you may well be activating your arm a lot during your daily activities anyway. But the more-affected hand can often remain un-used. Attempt stretches and exercises as soon as you can, even if you can’t divine a flicker of movement yet in your hand.
And remember we have trainers throughout the country who can help. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to see if there's one near you.
