Stepping using a stepper is a great aerobic exercise: it burns 23% more calories than running and you get to practice the elements of going up and down stairs too. What a bonus!

It’s important to set realistic goals during stroke recovery, and keep setting higher goals as you progress. The more you improve, the more you are able to set new goals for a higher level of healing and recovery.

The Tipster exercise (from The Successful Stroke Survivor book) is a special Dr Tom-created technique where the action mimics the stereotype offering of a secretive tip or bribe to someone behind your back, seen only in the movies!
This exercise is a critical self-stretch you can do for loosening up your fingers if they become seriously curled into your palm and painful after concentrating hard on performing any task-related exercise. Get someone to do it for you or use your good hand to help you get into this position to help you 'get the gap' again between your thumb and your fingers in order to re-start a task-sequence. In this way, you can continue do set after set without being confounded by the effects of u/l spasticity whilst doing them
To make this move ultra-effective, combine it with a couple more essential add-ons. You'll find full details in The Successful Stroke Survivor book.

Have a look at the table in front of ARNI trainer Dr Phil McBride. You should easily be able to spot how many augmentations or interventions are designed to enable and/or facilitate task-practice. A therapist or trainer can help you work on the ‘edges of your current ability’. Then you’ll need most DEFINITELY need to add to this via lots of self-retraining (do, record, evaluate), complimented by purposefully doing more and more varied ADLs.. Tom

Unlike cardio machines such as treadmills, exercise bikes and stepping, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. ts rare to find a cardio activity that works as many muscle groups through as wide a range of motion as rowing does. Knees, hips, arms and shoulders will each see 90 to 130 degrees of rotation in every stroke, which is more than you’ll find in most other aerobic activities. This is critical for your rehabilitation.

Tom teaching one of his hand/wrist stretches that work very well in combination with three others if spasticity is present, to open the fingers and thumb enough to 'get the gap' and thereby facilitate 'entering a task and extending time on task'. The survivor is Brendan Gordon, ex-soldier and good friend of ARNI. You can see him in DVD 7 or online anytime access stream no.7 www.strokesolutions.co.uk/product/training-tom-dvd/

Hi all, very long time friend at Brunel University (Prof Cherry Kilbride) has just published research in the Journal of Electronics, examining the development of an advanced prototype which integrates electromyography smart sensors, functional electrical stimulation, and virtual reality technologies in a closed-loop system, that is capable of supporting personalised recovery journeys.
The growing market of personal lifestyle devices, including privately purchased medical technologies, is shifting the landscape of rehabilitation solutions. Consumers are increasingly investing their personal finances in medical technologies that promise longer, healthier lives. This trend has led to rising demands for devices that are intuitive, effective, and aesthetically pleasing.
This research addresses the need for an advanced therapeutic solution that facilitates repetitive movement, a critical factor in promoting neuroplasticity after a stroke. The proof of concept presented distinguishes itself from existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology for muscle stimulation.
Through the integration of EMG sensors, FES, and virtual reality (VR), a closed-loop system has been developed to detect, calibrate, and deliver personalised rehabilitation therapy. The technical complexities of the device have been minimised through an intuitive design that eliminates the need for elaborate FES pad adjustments.
Designed using a user-centred approach, the wearable sleeve—housing both sensors and pads—has been positively received by stroke survivors as an engaging and accessible rehabilitation experience.

Games help to improve a variety of skills that may have been affected by stroke, including:
Motor function: ability to move the body voluntarily
Cognitive function: memory, learning, attention, decision making and language abilities
Social interaction: conversations verbal or nonverbal
What games do you include in your rehab?

.uk.comStabiliser muscles are just muscles that act to provide stability during a movement. So, for example, when you squat, your leg muscles are the prime movers, but other parts assist in executing the movement: calf and foot muscles are making sure your feet stay planted, torso muscles are making sure you don't fold up like a wet noodle, back muscles are pulling the shoulder blades back, and biceps stay stiff and taut to steady the forearms and keep them out of the way of the legs. All these muscles are recruited to be ‘stabilisers’.

I was very happy to uncover this website. I need to to thank you for ones time for this wonderful read!! I definitely loved every part of it and i also have you book-marked to see new information in your blog. Starla Coleman Larimor
I have found your series of DVDs very helpful and would be interested in a ‘virtual attendance’ at some parts of the conference.
Would you please let me have a copy of the programme list so that I can select the sessions in which I am interested?
Am I correct in assuming that ‘virtual attendance’ is free?
What areyou charging for this online conference, please?
Or, this year, is it free to attend?
Many thanks,
Sue
