The more you engage in passive exercise, the stronger the connection between your brain and muscles should become. When this connection is strong enough, you can begin to regain minimal movement in your affected limb. Once you can move a bit, you must engage in repetitive, active exercises to continue strengthening those neural pathways.
Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.k.com if you need a trainer to help you with your recovery.

Fortunately, thanks to the brain’s natural neuroplasticity, it is possible to regain some muscle strength and function after stroke. Passive range-of-motion exercises can help activate the brain but the key addition is also to engage in regular and intensive training/therapy and be facilitated to self-rehab as much as possible/become as independent as possible.

The brain has a life-long capacity to learn and adapt. Through processes called neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, the brain remodels itself in response to learning and experience. This allows the brain to change it’s structure and organisation; strengthening, adding or removing neural connections or creating new cells (neurons). Neuroplasticity does decline as we age, but it doesn’t stop. It’s never to late to learn a new skill . This is only possible due the still present ‘plasticity’.

Most of you saw the report from NHS England on 17th Nov, stating that hospital admissions for strokes rise by 28% since 2004...

Here's the breakdown: NHS England data shows an increase to 111,137 stroke admissions in England in 2023/24 – from 87,069 in 2004/05 – driven in part by an ageing population and the impacts of lifestyle factors on the nation’s cardiovascular health.

There has also been a 55% rise in admissions among people aged 50-59 (8,063 in 2004/05 vs 12,533 in 2023/24) – the highest increase among any age group. This is compared to a 42% increase for those aged 60-69, and a 25% rise for ages 70-79.

The figures come as the NHS launched a major campaign, urging the public to call 999 immediately if anyone experiences one of the 3 most common symptoms of strokes including struggling to smile (Face) or raise an arm (Arms), or slurring their words (Speech).

England’s top doctor said the figures show that strokes “are not just a risk for older people” and that it’s vital that everyone is aware of the symptoms to look out for, and knows to dial 999 quickly.

Experts say the increase in admissions among ages 50-59 may be associated with a number of factors including better detection and reporting, hypertension, obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise.

I think most of us know this, but also know that hypertension, obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise are all (to a large extent) manageable (if you want/need it badly enough)...

And as we know, there's also been a well-known rise in younger people having strokes for years now: in 2013/14, 14.2% of stroke patients were under 60, but by 2022/23, that number had increased to 15.9%. Moreover, between 2002-2010 and 2010-2018, the incidence of stroke in people under 55 increased by 67%...

What about increases in the age groups below 50? Your post makes it sound like strokes don’t happen to people younger than 50, yet we all know differently.

Have you tried to play the guitar after stroke? Used it as a rehab tool? Many people who played the guitar prior to stroke try to get back to using it; over 23 years I've see lots of people bring in instruments... one chap even brought in and set up his whole drum set!

A quick highlight of an RCT just published in Acta Med Philipp called G.T.A.R.A - which describes Grip/Grasp Training with Active Range of Motion Activities Using Guitar': A Randomized Controlled Trial Using Guitar Lessons for Restoring Hand Function among Patients with Unilateral Hand Impairment.

Anyway, the study's object was to determine the effects of guitar lessons (intervention group) in comparison to conventional occupational therapy (OT) sessions (control group) on hand function of chronic stroke patients with unilateral hand impairment.

Of interest is that the the specific guitar lesson created and performed in this study as used by 17 participants of the intervention group brought about improvement in hand function that was COMPARABLE with those who underwent traditional occupational therapy.

This may be most helpful in areas with limited access to rehabilitation facilities and occupational therapy services... and also may also be used as a continuing activity of chronic stroke patients at home to help improve hand function. Further, an 11.8% tendency for better compliance was found in the intervention group.. probably because it became reasonably enjoyable to do? What do you think?

(Grip/Grasp Training with Active Range of Motion Activities Using Guitar): A Randomized Controlled Trial Using Guitar Lessons for Restoring Hand Function among Patients with Unilateral Hand Impairment.
