This is an ARNI blog that is definitely worth a read. It is looking at therapy post-stroke and what happens you are discharged and the prescribed therapy stops.
Some questions to think about once you have read it...
What do you think? Does community therapy end too quickly? And what can community services do better to support physical rehab? Also, what does usual clinical care tend not to concentrate on enough for individuals before discharge?

Does your therapy end too quickly? | ARNI

Many years of research suggests that the mobility and functional dependence of stroke survivors worsen over time and that accessing later rehabilitation becomes increasingly difficult for stroke…

A high street eye scan may help predict someone’s risk of stroke or heart attack up to 10 years in advance, new research shows. The £20 scan uses artificial intelligence to analyse images of the back of the eye and spot signs linked to cardiovascular disease.
Retinal imaging, which takes less than a minute, can detect blood vessel damage or narrowing that may indicate similar problems elsewhere in the body.
Researchers at the University of Dundee ran existing eye scans from 1,200 people with diabetes through AI software.
In 70 per cent of cases, it correctly identified early warning signs in those who went on to have a major heart problem within a decade.
Dr Ify Mordi, a cardiologist and British Heart Foundation research fellow, said: “This is a one-stop scan which is routinely performed and takes less than a minute.
If there is damage or narrowing of the blood vessels at the back of the eye, there is a good chance that that will also be seen further inside the body.
“The eyes are a window to the heart.”
The scans are widely available at high street opticians and are also offered on the NHS for some patients.
Results could be used to refer people who may not know they are at risk to a doctor for preventative treatment.
Professor Bryan Williams, chief medical officer at the British Heart Foundation, said: “The more accurately we can detect someone’s risk of a heart attack or stroke, the better the opportunities to prevent them happening.
Cutting-edge innovations like this could play a role in improving risk prediction.”

If you have upper limb difficulties, this is the video that will be your ally. Here, Dr Tom shows you how you, too, can get as excellent function back in your upper limb as he has. He shows you what he did to gain function and shows tools that he has built to help survivors train their reach, grasp and release. He then shows you exactly how to make or acquire what you need to do what many hundreds of people have used to significantly (and very quickly) to reduce spasticity and flaccidity – and to gain control again of your more-affected hand.

Task-specific 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.
