Hey everyone! ๐ I wanted to share some really insightful and important news that shines a light on something so many stroke survivors like us deal with - but which often goes unmentioned: gut health and gastro-intestinal problems/
Scientists at The University of Manchester have shed crucial new light on why our guts' immune system changes after a stroke. It turns out that a stroke doesn't just affect the brain; it has a profound and immediate impact on our entire body, including the immune system in our digestive tract...
Just published in Brain, Behaviour and Immunity, the study adds to the emerging idea of the 'gut-brain axis'. The researchers found that the brain injury triggers complex immune responses that disrupt the delicate balance of the gut's immune system. This disruption makes the gut lining more permeable (leaky!) and causes inflammation, which then contributes to all sorts of gastro-intestinal problems that many survivors experience during recovery.
Understanding this connection is massive because it opens the door to potential new treatments. By targeting these immune changes in the gut directly, doctors might be able to prevent these secondary health issues, reduce infections, and improve a survivor's overall recovery and quality of life.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK comments that this is a great example of how interconnected our bodies are and how science is constantly working to understand the full picture of stroke r#ARNIstrokerehabw.a#guthealth

Synergistic movements happen when you try to move one body part (like your arm) and end up moving multiple parts (like your arm, hand, and shoulder).
You can minimize synergistic movement patterns by practicing rehab exercises. Repetition of these movements helps rewire the brain and โseparateโ your muscle movements so that your muscles move correctly โ without making other unnecessary movements. With consistent practice, you will work towards being able to move your arm and only your arm.

Hey everyone! ๐ I have some very significant news that just broke in the medical world regarding stroke prevention! ๐ง โจ
Bayer has announced positive top-line results from their landmark Phase III OCEANIC-STROKE study for their new investigational drug called Asund exian (space added so that our Google Ad words aren't paused due to our mention of a registered trademark drug, which has happened numerous times)!
The study found that a 50 mg once-daily dose of Asun dexian significantly reduced the risk of ischemic stroke compared to a placebo in high-risk patients who had recently experienced a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA.
This is a potential game-changer because Asun dexian is a new type of anticoagulant that works by inhibiting Factor XIa. The goal of this approach is to prevent harmful blood clots from forming without significantly increasing the risk of major bleeding, which is a common and serious concern with current blood thinners. The study met this safety goal, showing no increase in major bleeding events. Bayer is now getting ready to engage with health authorities globally for approval, and we look forward to the detailed results being presented at a scientific congress soon ๐ค
Stay strong and hopeful, everyone! The future of stroke prevention seems to be looking a bit brighter everyday! ๐๐

It's great news for prevention definitely.... Again too late for me at the his moment but I'm presuming this could be the blood thinner of choice even after ischaemic stroke?
Fantastic news ๐ as I also have osteoarthritis, and taking anti-inflammatory NSAIDS increases the blood bleed risk, so best avoided with current anti-coagulants. I wonder ๐ค what the contraindication profile is with this new drug.
A post about Christopher Reeve’s activism following his accident is on my Facebook feed after this one. Similar in spirit. It’s excellent news for future prevention x

An exercise called clock-face trace is good fun and great partner practice for training, challenging and testing the balance. The main training method is to think always of keeping the affectedfoot at 12 oโclock, and use the good foot. But you can do it the other way round too if you are very confident.

We have ARNI where i live. Unfortunately being on benefits it's impossible for me to use them. I wish there was some kind of funding for people with financial difficulties Had stroke 15 months ago left side affected, no use in arm or hand, just about able to get about with quad stick
Question for you? What does 3-D printing and predicting if you're going to have a stroke got to do with each other? Can you guess?
Well - here's ARNI Stroke Rehab UK's prediction of the very near future: you go to have a CT scan, technicians can rapidly 3-D print your blood vessel model, test your blood response and then AI is used to predict your stroke risk years in advance.
How do we know this? Because researchers at the University of Sydney have just developed a groundbreaking new 3D printing technique that can generate anatomically accurate replicas of blood vessels in a mere two hours. That's down from 10 hours using older methods!
These amazing mini models, created using CT scans from real stroke patients, mimic actual human anatomy and the fluid dynamics of blood flow. This has already been a massive help for researchers studying exactly how the blood clots that lead to stroke form in real-time under a microscope.
The best part? This device allows scientists to trial new drugs and personalised medicine approaches without relying on animal testing.
Researcher Dr Wang, pictured, said they're not just printing blood vessels, 'we're printing hope for millions at risk of stroke worldwide. This tech is paving the way for better prevention, early diagnosis, and more effective, tailo#ARNIstrokerehab๐#strokesurvivorm#3dprintingk#MedicalBreakthrougho#HopeForFuture##strokeresearcho#scienceandrecovery##innovationrch #ScienceAndRecovery #Innovation
Stroke Survivor and Charity founder Dr Tom , Director of ARNI Stroke Rehab UK, doing crucifix hold for time in comp ;) This is ReTraining Challenge (rehab + training + challenge!)
This would help strengthen shoulders too? And hands and wrists?
Do similar with Rack Hold with Kettlebells. Goal is Snatch and Clean and jerk
I'm so disappointed. I was all set to book a session with my local ARNI physio, to help with my stroke recovery but my doctors won't sign the consent form.it didn't even get past the receptionist. I've been in and complained but they still won't sign. I'm gutted!!
I'll have to get some weights and give it a try๐ค
This my ultimate goal ๐๐ฝ
Awesome!
Nice one ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery . Sometimes, my clients don't have so strong wrist extensors so a kettlebell was the solution - the ball of the kettlebell resting on top of the wrist allows for lateral raises as well as helps the actual wrist extension๐

Fortunately, thanks to the brainโs 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.
This pic shows David Francis Neurological rehabilitation Wales - NRW and Mariola Piskarkiewicz 'guiding and guarding' an ARNI patient. With enough hard work, with what Tom calls, some 'oomph', you can definitely begin to see progress in your stroke recovery.

I would definitely like some more Physio
Big news for many of us coping with post-stroke pain ๐ Researchers have made a remarkable discovery about how post-stroke pain signals are activated. They found that certain neurons actually release an enzyme called VLK (Vertebrate Lonesome Kinase) from outside the cell. The really exciting part is this: in lab studies, removing or blocking this specific enzyme was shown to effectively dull post-stroke pain without impairing normal movement or sensation! ๐ฎ
It turns out this enzyme plays a crucial role in activating the pain signals that many stroke survivors unfortunately experience. This is huge because a major challenge with current pain medications is that they often come with significant side effects, including grogginess or reduced mobility. The potential to target the VLK enzyme specifically offers a new pathway for pain relief that could improve our quality of life dramatically without these drawbacks.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK says that this research points towards a future with more effective, targeted pain management options for stroke survivors without the horrible side-effects which most drugs have. Itโs a wonderful example of science leading the way to better recovery outcome ๐๐

How do you block VLK?
