A good tip for stroke survivors using a rower is to strap your good foot in first, then your affected foot, making sure to point the foot to the outside. Push a crumpled up page of newspaper between the inside of the foot-pad and your own foot to make sure it stays there.

Kitchens are a great place for rehab. Pans are particularly good for rehab exercises as they come in different sizes (and weights), can be lifted, shifted and poured from. But perhaps best of all THEY DON'T BREAK when dropped!

This is from a memory back in 2014. Just had to share again!!
Comment from Rona Morris to Tom via facebook. To me, this encapsulates the whole point of what we do and have done since 2000 for stroke survivors - and where it's all going ..
If you read this, would you comment quickly with your view? Very valued - many thanks, Tom ;)

The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin
Reviewed by Joe
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 June 2019
Verified Purchase
I've had the pleasure of learning from Tom Balchin, founder of the ARNI Institute and author of this book.
This is a concise guide to stroke survivors (Tom Balchin himself is one!) on not only how to self rehabilitate with assistance but also independently, with evidence based studies to further reinforce how important it is to perform the rehabilitation exercises regularly.
As well as this, all technical jargon has been simplified, and Tom makes a personal connection with the reader through his own experiences, showing that he is a true master of his craft.
I couldn't recommend this book enough to stroke survivors, their relatives, carers and specialists!

Have you tried horse riding post stroke? When stroke survivors ride, the movement of the horse helps the brain relearn the necessary muscle coordination required for walking, without putting additional strain on the survivor.

The rowing stroke when using an indoor rower is about 65-75% leg work and 25-35% upper body work. Each rowing stroke involves full compression and extension of the legs, working the muscles of the calves, thighs, hamstrings, buttocks and hips, shoulders, back, arms and hands as well as your ‘core’ abdominal muscles. Because it engages so many muscle groups simultaneously, rowing gets the heart-rate up nicely, pumping oxygen-rich blood around your system in readiness for exertion.

Would you like to know about AI stroke rehab? Of course you would! Here is a meta-analysis just published in 'Brain Disorders'
Volume 18, June 2025.
It showed that:
• AI-assisted stroke rehabilitation shows promising outcomes in terms of functional and motoric outcomes.
• Combination of VR and rehabilitation robots give the best result.
• AI-assisted stroke rehabilitation is more feasible, personalized, cost-effective than the conventional methods.
• AI-assisted stroke rehabilitation encourages home-based care and improves treatment adherence.
This is looking like the future', isn't it? If you'd like to know more about the meta-analysis, here's a synopsis:
Stroke is the primary contributor to disability worldwide, causing a high economic burden due to its morbidity. Due to the application of artificial intelligence (AI), stroke rehabilitation has been revolutionized, resulting in significant improvement. Implementing AI also enables home-based care, thus helping stroke patients who generally have ambulatory difficulties.
This research was a systematic review from Pubmed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest, including randomized controlled trials (RCT) published from 2009 to 2024. Meta-analysis included seven studies discussing the functional and motoric outcomes of AI-assisted stroke rehabilitation.
Six studies included post-stroke patients within 3 to 6 months after the stroke occurred. AI models used were varied, ranging from end-effector or exoskeleton robots to a combination of both and virtual reality (VR). Overall, the included studies had a low risk of bias. Standard mean differences (SMDs) of the Barthel Index and Motricity Index were 0.16 and 0.60. No significant difference between AI-assisted stroke rehabilitation and conventional stroke rehabilitation for both outcomes. Non-inferiority trials showed that the AI-assisted method was not inferior to the conventional method of stroke rehabilitation.
Considering its feasibility, personalization, and flexible rehabilitation program, AI-assisted was non-inferior to the conventional method. A comprehensive guideline is needed to facilitate its usage in clinical practice.

Excellent support from my personal trainer Patrick Hoad. Arni fills the huge gap left in stroke rehabilitation care that is left after you leave hospital/ rehab unit and is the only organisation that has kept me informed of stroke rehabilitation. Developments through email and their excellent conferences/ group training sessions
ARNI does excellent work in stroke recovery and rehab, well done
The ARNI Charity does such fantastic work;there is nothing quite like it in the rehabilitation of Stroke survivors .
Great Job and well done
Keep up the brilliant work!
