The journey along the road of functional improvement can be described as the ‘process’ of rehabilitation. Your current state can be described as the ‘product’ of rehabilitation. It’s not just one thing you might do for your own rehabilitation, it’s everything – over time.
A good analogy may be writing a long book on a laptop and saving the changes to the hard-drive, every day, as you make them. time.

The cycle of learned non-use, if it has been allowed to happen, really can be broken, and progress made, even years after stroke.
Such a negative cycle can begin virtually without the stroke survivor realising it. Whilst he or she is waiting for movement to happen, actually all that’s happening is that the plastic brain is getting used to using the good hand for all tasks.

This stoke recovery book is Essential Reading
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2020
This is the book that anyone who has had a stroke, or is associated with a stroke survivor, must read. It is just not possible to write a book about stroke survival unless you have experienced the sheer terror of it first-hand. Tom Balchin outlines what happens when you have a stroke, what help is (or should be) at hand, provides practical help with coping strategies and exercises. What he hasn't provided in this book probably isn't worth knowing. I just wish it had been available when I had my stroke 6 years ago, when I (and my husband) hit a wall of confusion, lack of information and poor NHS after-care. Things could have been so different! I have learned things from this book even now and intend to follow them up. A Brilliant Book.

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 ;)

Repetitions are required but ALSO you need to set goals and targets to get away from supports like wheelchairs, frames and sticks as soon as possible, to go further, to go for set distances, to feel less tired each time, to ramp up the quality of your walking by focusing on how you walk, to walk over different surfaces, to walk with an AFO and without, to tackle stairs, etc.
So its time to get creative!
