In the news today: A smartphone application uses a facial video to examine 68 facial landmark points; sensors that measure arm movement and orientation; and voice recordings detect speech changes. Information from each test is then sent to a database server for analysis.
The app accurately detected arm weakness in more than two-thirds of the cases.
And preliminary analyses confirmed that it may be able to reliably detect slurred speech, according to the researchers.
Previous research has found that stroke patients who are treated within 90 minutes of their first symptoms were almost three times more likely to recover with little or no disability in comparison to those who received treatment more than 90 minutes after symptoms begin.
All sounds good!!

Aphasia occurs in as many as 40% of stroke survivors, making it the most common communication disorder caused by stroke, but many people conquer aphasia completely.

Consistent stimulation is the best way to rewire your brain. Without consistency doing functional retraining, newer connections in your brain can start to weaken and you might lose some of your hard work. This means that if you try to work on your rehabilitation every day, you will have the best chances of functional gain over the long term. How to develop a customised 'plan' for what you should do? It's actually quite hard to work out, and often trial and error plays a big part. But one thing's for sure, you've GOT to make a start now - and use smart guides - here's one to help you: www.strokesolutions.co.uk/product/successful-stroke-survivor-dvds-full-set-incl-bonus-dvd-trainin...

Sensory impairments occur after injuries to the parietal lobe. They can cause a variety of problems, including numbness, tingling, and hypersensitivity.
But thanks to neuroplasticity, you can still retrain your brain to process your senses correctly again!
