Practicing balance exercises while standing, along with exercises for lower extremity muscles performed while standing against body weight resistance, is the optimal way to improve balance as well as flexibility, strength and endurance, and fitness. Exercises can include standing up and sitting down, step-ups, heels raises, marching, stair walking, semi-squats, and reaching to the floor sideways and forward to pick up an object. These exercises should be performed with increasing numbers of repetitions and without reliance on the upper limbs for support and balance. Exercises can be made more challenging by increasing the height of steps and chairs and by increasing and varying speed. Want some help so you know exactly the right technique, and right level, for you?

ARNI has at a Zoom-based speech and language service for the public with specialist SLT colleagues which is extremely successful! If you have aphasia, you will find it hard to say what you’re thinking (expressive) or understand the spoken word (receptive). It can also affect your reading and writing skills. Aphasia occurs in as many as 40% of stroke survivors, making it the most common communication disorder caused by stroke, but many people conquer aphasia completely.

Probably one of the biggest advantages you have as a stroke survivor is your brain’s astonishing capacity for neuroplasticity, Ask your current therapist about it. The notion of brain plasticity is one of the most extraordinary discoveries of the twentieth century. It suggests that the location of a given function in the brain (for example, speech) can move to another area of the brain. In the case of stroke, brain plasticity refers to healthy brain cells taking over the functions of damaged brain cells. This means that certain lost functions, such as speech and language, may re-emerge as the result of intensive rehabilitation. The idea of the brain being able to ‘adapt’ to a traumatic event is new and optimistic.

The Sit-to-Stand (STS) movement can be described as the change in body posture from a sitting to standing position (and then often to walking). The ability to go from a sitting position to a standing position is definitely an important skill. It is a complex movement from a stable (sitting) to an unstable (standing) position, requiring coordinated muscular contraction, strength, and balance control.

If you need some help, with movements like this, then give us a call on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com and we'll get one of our trainers to help you.

Life after stroke is filled with many obstacles, and sometimes, it seems impossible just to stay calm and try to make focused progressed. But a little tip which we have noted in replies from stroke survivors and their carers (and it's in the evidence too), that if you make a big effort you shift your focus from stroke, you’ll see that every day is another opportunity to change your life via the process of creation. A new day brings with it a chance to see the light shining through the clouds. So, next time you feel you've worked hard enough to take a break, and you're honest with yourself, then you've DESERVED it - remember, you might have to climb mountains and traverse a desert before you reach an oasis, but eventually, you'll get there - or near as dammit that it's damn good enough! So says Tom ;) There endeth the lesson etc etc ;)

Hot, hot, hot here and I am working tomorrow, but have two sessions in the pool which will give me (and my clients) some respite. Have a great weekend.

Thank you 😁

If you have a choice about an optimal time to train, try the afternoon or early evening and see how you go. You should feel at your most alert and strong at these times of the day, and your muscles at their most flexible. These three factors make it less likely that you will get injured.

If you need some help with your recovery call us on 0203 053 0111 or email suppport@arni.uk.com We have trainers throughout the country who can help you.
