'This comprehensive and empowering book is a must-read for stroke survivors and their families. The book uses Dr Tom Balchin’s own experience of stroke, his knowledge of stroke as well as his work with others over the past two decades. It is highly readable and provides clear explanations of every step of the stroke journey as well as no-nonsense practical steps that everyone can take to improve their quality of life after stroke’.
Review by Professor Heidi Johansen-Berg, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, Director, Wellcome Centre for Integrative Neuroimaging & Director, Plasticity Group at Oxford Centre for Functional MRI of the Brain, Oxfo#strokerecovery

Repetitive actions engage neuroplasticity and cause changes in the brain. Therefore, a key aspect in stroke recovery is massed practice: exercises with high repetition.
When you perform an action, your brain creates new neural pathways in response to your movement. These pathways make it easier for the brain to store and retrieve information. The more you practice that action, the more you reinforce those neural pathways, and the easier that activity becomes..
Whatever ability you want to improve, with enough practice, you will activate neuroplasticity and help your brain heal itself after stroke. Eventually, you should start to regain that function. If you need some help with your recovery then call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com We have trainers throughout the country who can help you with your recovery.

This is the first of its kind to be trialled. The dogs take patients through a series of obstacle courses and games to help with balance, flexibility and strength. If you have a pet have you tried getting them involved in your rehab??

Stroke patients rebuild strength with help from therapy dogs
news.stv.tv
Dogs For Good visit Inverclyde Royal Hospital weekly to help stroke patients with their physiotherapy and cognitive responses.
This is Dr Tom Balchin in his home dungeon gym, training grip with an exercise called ‘Fairly Thick (!) Stubby Bar Hold for Time’ . He achieved '71 seconds with a controlled negative at finish, with four 50lb plates' at his home gym. This is what an advanced stroke survivor who had one arm and hand completely paralysed can do. Very unusual for a stroke survivor, and certainly not for everyone, but hopefully inspirational. And did you know that grip strength is not only an excellent indicator of progressive recovery, but also is a number one for being able to save oneself from a fall if off-balance-ness occurs after stroke? Being able to grip a bannister like a limpet at any given moment, with power, is a good thing if you have drop-foot for example. Do you also have any incidences yourself when you had to grip on to things to stop yourself losing balance? Please let us know – and did you manage it? Do you actively work your grip?

My dream is a home gym as I’m paralysed down my left. Have been going to Arni Wales for 3 years now every week 👍🏽
For practicing on the stepper, try going up with both your good foot and your affected foot. You must be trying to use the affected foot equally here, because ultimately you are practicing to manage a flight of steps. This will allow you to practice lifting the affected leg, extending and placing the affected foot, then using the toes of the good foot to spring onto the step. To get off the stepper backwards, use your good foot first. Despite what anyone tells you about using your affected foot first. It must be done like this: using your affected foot first may end up with you locking out the knee of the affected leg, with all the dangers that this brings. You need to use a quick step downwards with the good foot and then use your knee raising power and then hamstring pull power to place your affected foot parallel to your good one. You’ll learn more about the value of training quick, rapid movements of the good leg, particularly to balance and save yourself from falling as we proceed. You can then change up the exercise and step up on the stepper, leading with your good foot, then bring your affected foot all the way over, without touching and step off the other side.

Have YOU got aphasia?
Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience this difficulty: to comprehend or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident. In half of these cases the language impairment still persists one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social isolation.
If you need help, ARNI SLT Telerehab can now help YOU, right now, wherever you are in the world!
The latest evidence shows clearly that you can conquer aphasia very successfully with the help of speech and language therapy.
And it also shows that SLT Telerehab is just as effective as in-person, face to face treatment.
We have a team of highly experienced low-cost specialist SLTs (all post-grads from Universities such as UCL, the University of Cape Town etc) who are available to help you right now, in your home, via Zoom.

Big Surprise: The Brain Can Recover Many Years After a Stroke

Most doctors think that after a patient has a stroke, recovery only happens for 6 months to a year; after that there is no point in continuing with rehabilitation therapy. We described a patient who h...
Apart from ‘being there’ to fill the void after formal therapy finishes, for whatever reason, and to tackle the prevalent problem of stroke survivors with huge potential believing that they will never walk or use their hand again, probably the most important thing that ARNI Instructors are taught is how to show stroke survivors to 'self-train' and get into a pattern (customised programme) of doing so, by THEMSELVES.
