How to start retraining your upper limb after stroke? Your starter programme consists both of stretches and tasks. You may or may not have been taught how to safely self-stretch but the idea is that more is better and safety is paramount. You have to stretch your upper limb (gently), knowing at the same time simply stretching wonāt bring recovery. You have to be task-focused. So, when you do a stretch, you then do something challenging and specific functionally with the stretch.

Thank you. We've finally been referred for upper limb botox to help Harry with this. Still soldiering on. šŖšŖšŖ
Colleagues of ARNI Stroke Rehab at both UCL and the University of Oxford's Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences, have developed a groundbreaking ultrasound helmet designed to break apart dangerous brain clots without the need for any surgery or invasive scalpels!
By using focused ultrasound beams that pass safely through the skull, this device can target a blockage with pinpoint precision and vibrate it until it fragments into tiny pieces the body can clear naturally. This means the high-stakes 'golden hour' after a stroke could soon be managed with a portable, non-invasive tool that stops damage in its tracks before it even has the chance to cause long-term disability š§
Early clinical tests show that this helmet can restore vital blood flow dramatically faster than medication alone, all while avoiding the dangers of opening the skull or navigating sensitive neural tissue with catheters. The tech indicates that a stroke can be repaired externally, preserving the precious connections that allow us to move, speak and stay ourselves. This shift toward surgery-free clot removal is a massive leap forward in making sure the baseline for recovery is as high as possible for every survivor š
The system has been successfully tested on human volunteers to demonstrate its ability to precisely target deep brain structures and modulate neural activity. While it shows promise for treating blood clots, the tech is also being explored for other conditions like Parkinson's disease, depression & Alzheimer's.
The most exciting part is the potential for this helmet to become a standard piece of equipment in ambulances and remote medical centers across the UK. Imagine a world where life-saving treatment begins the moment the paramedics arrive at your door, rather than waiting until you reach a specialist surgical hub. As this tech moves through its final large-scale trials, it serves as a powerful reminder that the brightest minds in science are working tirelessly to make stroke recovery faster, safer and more accessible for everyone. āØ

Mental practice means you visualise yourself doing something that you want to get better at. It helps your recovery because it activates neuroplasticity.

Sure does :)
There is always hope for recovery through neuroplasticity. Although it may not happen overnight, it is possible for the brain to heal itself after a stroke by activating neuroplasticity.
By focusing on highly repetitive exercises and task-specific training during stroke rehabilitation, survivors can activate neuroplasticity and help the brain heal itself after stroke.
We can help you with your recovery. We have trainers throughout the country. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to see if there's one near you..

Dr Tom Balchin OBE is a well-known UK stroke survivor and founder of ARNI Charity 25 years ago, who was paralysed on one side. Here he is taking a chance to work his grip by holding a 3 inch handle (as big as a coke can) challenge dumbbell for as long as he can at BodyPower in Birmingham at the Chemical Nutrition stand with legendary long-term female bodybuilder and trainer @Marina Marlene Cornwall on the stopwatch ;)
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. You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist. Please enquire to arni.uk.com/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/ !
