It’s important to set realistic goals during stroke recovery; and keep setting higher goals as you progress. The more you improve, the more you are able to set new goals for a higher level of recovery.

A common compensatory strategy after stroke is when someone leans their torso forward to reach something; instead of extending their affected arm fully. They are not always bad and are sometimes needed in order to achieve a task.
Don't let compensatory strategies become the norm for you. Work past them. And if you need some help we have trainers throughout the country who can work with you. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's one near you.

Core exercises for stroke survivors help improve stability throughout the body, which helps improve balance and gait (your manner of walking). Building core strength and coordination through trunk control exercises can also help reduce your risk of falling and prevent further injury or complications.

Whenever you’re sitting at a table, it’s a great time to do some hand exercises. You can use various household items like coins, paper clips, silverware or pens to practice a variety of fine motor skills. For example, you can practice gripping a pen, sliding it across the table, and releasing it. Additionally, you can work on using your thumb and fingers to spin the pen in a circle on the table in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Practicing tracing and writing can also be effective for improving fine motor coordination skills.
The key is to consistently perform high repetitions of targeted exercises. High repetition is key to recovery because it helps activate neuroplasticity, the mechanism the brain uses to rewire itself and recover.
If you struggle with severe spasticity, which often results in clenched hands after stroke, you can start with passive exercises and stretching. Passive exercise involves assisting your affected hand though a movement, either with the help of a therapist or by using your non-affected hand.
