Your brain is very good at problem-solving. We are masters at changing the environment and our suit ourselves. Our imagination, reasoning, emotional subtlety and toughness make it possible. You can see how easily you can set everything up so that you can make do without the use of one arm, in just the same way as those who lose a limb or one or more of their operating senses. But you know that there is no need to do so; you just need to find the right route.
If you like this post then please share it with others. Each time that you share a post, you can directly help other people – as who knows which people in the world might find us and gain, either directly from the charity or simply by being able to copy an ‘innovative and useful’ move/trick of the trade that might help them manage after stroke.
Every time you share, you could directly help someone – as knowledge is power ;)

My husband has just bought your book. He is enthralled by it and you have given him such hope as we have to undertake his rehab ourselves.
You are about to completely change the way you view your rehabilitation. By following the advice in these 7 DVDs you will totally transform yourself. You will be able to disregard the use of a wheelchair, stick and rigid plastic orthotic, as appropriate. Amongst many other things, you will learn to get down and up from the floor, balance, walk and turn without problem, become strong and robust.. and tackle all sorts of activities of daily life that you hadn’t dreamed possible after stroke.
Importantly, Dr Tom will teach you how to recover a great deal more action control of your upper limb and achieve spasticity decline leading to grasp and release capability. Contained in these DVDs is a wealth of information relayed by Dr Tom, who has ‘been there’. A stroke survivor himself, he shows you exactly what to do to make an incredible recovery: you will not BELIEVE what can be done! You can do it: Dr Tom will show you how, and will also show you a full training session with a stroke survivor so you can see how everything works.

How the brain learns new skills
medicalxpress.com
The human brain is "plastic": it can adapt and rewire itself, often more easily when learning new things related to familiar skills. For example, it is probably easier for a professional tennis player...
You must take on board that results with the hand are not instantaneous, rather, you will find (as all our stroke survivors do) they are very slow and incremental. You will do better by using a combination of strategies at different times during your recovery process. But don’t make the biggest mistake of and think that you cannot progress to a very good degree with your hand using the ‘slow and steady cooking’ method, and don’t even begin with task-related work.
You will reach plateaus where you feel no new movement will occur. But this is ok… and this is the time to be creative.

A short video of Tom talking about ARNI. ARNI was formed in response to the demand throughout the UK from stroke survivors, who state that they are ‘stuck in limbo’ after therapy comes to an end. We train and provide specialist instructors & therapists; then guide them to you upon request. They will teach you the ARNI functional ‘retraining’ strategies and will support you to take charge of your own recovery via these principles.

Tom can motor recovery of the hand recur three years after a major stroke
The ARNI programme involves task-specific functional movement training, development of physical management strategies, stroke- specific resistance training with adjuncts such as technology and pharmacological inputs recommended as appropriate. It was borne out of Tom Balchin’s own rehab experience. He credits part of his success to an “innovative” physio who, in the early days after his stroke, taught him the importance of regaining self- reliance as quickly as possible.

ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery has helped my rehab significantly
To all intents and purposes, you possess a ‘use-it-or-lose-it’ brain. Function gets worse with non-use but neuroplasticity means that the finger-maps in the brain, if given the appropriate inputs, can grow and rewire in find ways to perform the lost function.
If you need 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!!
