So, here’s the bottom line. You can be pretty certain that acute stroke represents disconnections in your brain, but NOT any physical damage to the affected limbs. And that you already own the most important ‘intervention’ in stroke recovery: neuroplasticity.

This superb graph created by ARNI supporter Professor Peter Langhorne for his excellent journal article in The Lancet (also shown in Dr Balchin' 'Had a Stroke', Now What') shows that a fixed therapeutic time window of 3/6 months doesn't necessarily exist - this is proof that you can show all the naysayers. This is 'hope in a graph' as far as I'm concerned - it means that there is no real "end" to recovery and that you CAN continue to recover and do better in terms of action control after many years have passed as long as you continue to stretch to keep muscles long/pliable, do as many ADLs as possible and do at least one 'Rehabby Hobby' as Dr Tom calls it. His main intensive 'rehabby hobby' was DJing. You can read about exactly how he used this in 'Had a Stroke', Now What' and can get ideas about other hobbies which challenge the paretic upper limb to the max ;)

A new UK study is investigating whether a brain-controlled computer game can help stroke survivors recover movement in their arms.
Participants will wear a wireless headset that records brain activity as they imagine moving their affected arm, with those signals used to control a computer game.
The research, led by Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), is recruiting around 50 people who have had a stroke. It aims to harness neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to reorganise and allow other regions to take over lost functions.
Many stroke survivors find everyday tasks such as dressing, cooking or writing extremely difficult. Different types of rehabilitation, including game-based approaches, can offer support.
Dr Kathy Ruddy, a neuroscientist leading the research, said: “The brain signals are picked up and used to control a computer game.
“This form of ‘motor imagery’ activates the same brain areas as real movement and it may help keep these body parts healthy and active after a stroke, even when actual movement isn’t yet possible.”
The team at QUB said the research is giving hope to people whose movement or speech remains affected after stroke.

there is no real "end" to recovery. As long as you put in the work, you can pick things back up at any point. Even; if it's been decades.

There's an exercise in The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin called In n’ out brushes.
This technique is fantastic for tackling ‘circumduction’; which is when your affected foot sways out to the side in a curving fashion, in order to allow you to walk whilst coping with footdrop.. As a practical exercise it’s great. It gets you to focus on foot positioning and stability. You will be surprised at your ability to do this, however close to starting to walk more fluidly you are.

"There were points where I was really depressed," this stroke survivor recalls. "I mean, having that left-sided weakness and not getting back to my normal routine really sucked. But no matter what, I'm not going to get better unless I keep doing stuff. So I can either just sit and let it get worse and fester or just keep going."

Sometimes with stroke rehab you need to 'think outside the box' and modify exercises to make them achievable. Here's a way you can modify the 'downward facing dog' ex#strokerecoveryi#strokerehabr#strokeexerciser#Neurorehabt#neuroplasticityu#arnistrokeu#arnistrokecharitys#strokerehabilitationi#ARNIstrokerehablitation #arnistrokerehab
One-minute, short bursts of high-intensity interval training for 19 minutes may be more effective for improving fitness after a stroke than traditional, 20-30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise sessions, according to research in this article.
