The UK’s campaigning and advisory disability body, run by and for disabled people.
Unlike cardio machines such as treadmills, exercise bikes and stepping, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. ts rare to find a cardio activity that works as many muscle groups through as wide a range of motion as rowing does. Knees, hips, arms and shoulders will each see 90 to 130 degrees of rotation in every stroke, which is more than you’ll find in most other aerobic activities. This is critical for your rehabilitation.

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 ;)

Tom teaching one of his hand/wrist stretches that work very well in combination with three others if spasticity is present, to open the fingers and thumb enough to 'get the gap' and thereby facilitate 'entering a task and extending time on task'. The survivor is Brendan Gordon, ex-soldier and good friend of ARNI. You can see him in DVD 7 or online anytime access stream no.7 www.strokesolutions.co.uk/product/training-tom-dvd/
Hi all, very long time friend at Brunel University (Prof Cherry Kilbride) has just published research in the Journal of Electronics, examining the development of an advanced prototype which integrates electromyography smart sensors, functional electrical stimulation, and virtual reality technologies in a closed-loop system, that is capable of supporting personalised recovery journeys.
The growing market of personal lifestyle devices, including privately purchased medical technologies, is shifting the landscape of rehabilitation solutions. Consumers are increasingly investing their personal finances in medical technologies that promise longer, healthier lives. This trend has led to rising demands for devices that are intuitive, effective, and aesthetically pleasing.
This research addresses the need for an advanced therapeutic solution that facilitates repetitive movement, a critical factor in promoting neuroplasticity after a stroke. The proof of concept presented distinguishes itself from existing functional electrical stimulation (FES) technology for muscle stimulation.
Through the integration of EMG sensors, FES, and virtual reality (VR), a closed-loop system has been developed to detect, calibrate, and deliver personalised rehabilitation therapy. The technical complexities of the device have been minimised through an intuitive design that eliminates the need for elaborate FES pad adjustments.
Designed using a user-centred approach, the wearable sleeve—housing both sensors and pads—has been positively received by stroke survivors as an engaging and accessible rehabilitation experience.
You MUST have a quick read of the paper www.mdpi.com/2079-9292/14/6/1171#
When is likely to become available for home purchase,ideally if you can become a stroke survivor you can become spokesman for the product.
When is this available for a stroke survivor to buy please?
Games help to improve a variety of skills that may have been affected by stroke, including:
Motor function: ability to move the body voluntarily
Cognitive function: memory, learning, attention, decision making and language abilities
Social interaction: conversations verbal or nonverbal
What games do you include in your rehab?

A good 70% to 80% of your time doing upper limb work should be spent attempting grasp and release work; even if you can't do it. You've got to try.

.uk.comStabiliser muscles are just muscles that act to provide stability during a movement. So, for example, when you squat, your leg muscles are the prime movers, but other parts assist in executing the movement: calf and foot muscles are making sure your feet stay planted, torso muscles are making sure you don't fold up like a wet noodle, back muscles are pulling the shoulder blades back, and biceps stay stiff and taut to steady the forearms and keep them out of the way of the legs. All these muscles are recruited to be ‘stabilisers’.

A good tip for stroke survivors using a rower is to strap your good foot in first, then your affected foot, making sure to point the foot to the outside. Push a crumpled up page of newspaper between the inside of the foot-pad and your own foot to make sure it stays there.

Kitchens are a great place for rehab. Pans are particularly good for rehab exercises as they come in different sizes (and weights), can be lifted, shifted and poured from. But perhaps best of all THEY DON'T BREAK when dropped!
