Such as great review!
This is the most wonderful book. As stroke is one of the biggest killers in UK, it is an essential book to have in any household. The book takes you from 'soup-to-nuts', including a section which discusses risk factors. It is interesting, easy to read, practical and relevant. It really is a must-have companion for stroke survivors and their families, carers and medical professionals.
It is extremely positive and this is what stroke survivors want and need. It will give great hope to those who find themselves thinking that they have little future, helping them to get back on the right track, and enabling them to make huge strides back to their former selves. Tom Balchin has lived this life and he now provides others with confidence and great hope! I also love the way that it emulates what ARNI therapists practise.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Thank you so much Tom - this fantastic book will make a huge difference to stroke survivors and their families all over the globe.

A study published in the journal Nutrients has modelled what would happen if adults aged 30 to 79 increased their average daily milk intake to the nationally recommended 180 grams, roughly equivalent to two dairy servings per day, and the projected results are striking.
Across a ten year period, meeting this target was estimated to reduce overall stroke incidence and stroke related mortalityby around 7%, with some subgroups seeing reductions of up to 10.6%. Stroke related national healthcare expenditure was projected to fall by approximately 5.1%, with subgroup savings reaching as high as 8.5%, suggesting that even modest, achievable dietary shifts could have meaningful population level consequences.
The researchers used a Markov model to simulate these outcomes, a method commonly used in health economics to project long term disease burden based on changing risk factors over time. Milk contains calcium, magnesium and potassium, all of which have been proposed as potential contributors to cardiovascular protection, though the precise biological mechanisms linking dairy intake to reduced stroke risk are not yet fully understood.
While this research is based on Japanese population data and dietary patterns, the principles around diet as a modifiable stroke risk factor are broadly relevant and will resonate with stroke communities worldwide. Work of this kind adds important weight to the case for dietary intervention as part of stroke prevention strategy, sitting alongside exercise, medication and lifestyle management.
It is worth noting that translating population modelling studies into routine clinical or public health guidance in the UK typically takes several years, pending replication in UK cohorts and review by bodies such as NICE and the British Dietetic Association. ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says: evidence like this reinforces how much lifestyle factors including diet matter in stroke prevention and recovery, and we will continue to follow developments in this area closely as the science evolves 💪🥛🧠❤️

Neuromuscular stimulation, also called functional electric stimulation, (commonly abbreviated as FES) is the clinical application of a small electric current to the intact nerves of your body, in order to trigger a muscle contraction and increase cortical excitability during training. This contraction is then incorporated into a functional activity like walking. A clear distinction needs to be made between Therapeutic Stimulation and Functional Stimulation. The former is an exercise where you relax whilst the stimulation works on its own. FES on the other hand, incorporates this elicited muscle movement into your everyday activities, like standing, walking, reaching out, etc. Like CIMT, it is probably most suitable to try if you possess some wrist and hand movements. I’m not aware of anyone trying to use CIMT and FES protocols together. I can’t see why FES couldn’t be built into a CIMT routine.

Our wonderful ARNI Instructor, Jo, passed away last night.
She was a total warrior...
And let none of us know, even me, that at the time she received our rounder card in November, signed by so many ARNI Instructors (50 of you; thank you all of you), that she was facing a second tumour,
Sadly when they removed her brain tumour, they had found a second much more aggressive one in a scan, just before surgery.
They were unable to remove it and she was too poorly to tolerate treatments either.
She was an ARNI Instructor for 10 years this year, and I will MISS HER...
Very much...
Roz (Harry's Mum), told me the news today (Roz, Jonathan and Harry Baker so kindly put Betty, Jo's sister up for 10 weeks at their house to facilitate her to be with Jo). Thank you to the Baker family; Harry is training at ARNI just behind Jo in this picture, coincidentally...
💙🙏
Condolences and prayers for all affected. MHDSRIEP 🙏

Passive range of motion exercises are good way to activate neuroplasticity when you have difficulty moving a limb. It's done by someone helping by moving your affected limbs through their full range. You can also do passive exercises yourself by using your unaffected side to move your affected ones. This will help your recovery by by sparking neuroplasticity.
And remember we have trainers throughout the country who can help you. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's one near you.

Can't wait for my assessment
Approximately 40% of stroke survivors experience this difficulty: to comprehend or produce spoken or written language caused by a cerebrovascular accident. In half of these cases the language impairment still persists one year post-stroke. Aphasia has wide-ranging effects on the ability to function and quality of life of stroke survivors and easily leads to social isolation.
If you need help, ARNI SLT Telerehab can now help YOU, right now, wherever you are in the world!
The latest evidence shows clearly that you can conquer aphasia very successfully with the help of speech and language therapy.
And it also shows that SLT Telerehab is just as effective as in-person, face to face treatment.
We have a team of highly experienced low-cost specialist SLTs (all post-grads from Universities such as UCL, the University of Cape Town etc) who are available to help you right now, in your home, via Zoom. You get a one to one hourly service, based around your diary needs, from the comfort of your own home, with a highly experienced specialist speech and language therapist. Please enquire to arni.uk.com/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/ !
