is our latest member at ARNI in May, and in her first two sessions she learned how to get up from the ground (in three different ways!) She is a big star, and she is going to show what can be done when a seriously motivated person comes to train with the full intention of recovering her former movement. You will succeed.
Stroke is the number 1 cause of disability in the UK, and someone has a stroke every 5 minutes. 4 out of 5 families will be touched by stroke at some point. ARNI (Action for Rehabilitation from Neurological Injury) UK Stroke Rehab Charity helps people of all ages who have suffered strokes, to recover in the community. To do this for each person, it matches survivors up with one of our 140 qualified and insured specialist neuro-exercise instructors who are then able to support the person at their home once therapy finishes, often due to time & resources. ARNI Instructors assist survivors with the performance of functional task practice, physical coping strategies & resistance training. For example, they teach an innovative method for people with one virtually un-usable arm and weak leg to get down to and up from the floor safely and quickly without support from a chair or another person, thereby reducing the fear of falling -and also reducing the need to carry a stick. ARNI Charity also offers a comprehensive speech and language service, helping with communication, dysphagia & cognition.

Stroke patients at an English hospital are getting quicker diagnoses with artificial intelligence that gives consultants instant access to brain scan images. The system in Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley introduced RapidAI speeds up triage – prioritising patients by urgency – by sending scans directly to consultants’ mobile phones. Since its introduction at Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, patients have been diagnosed within 40–60 minutes – up to an hour faster than without the technology. When it comes to strokes, obviously every second counts. We're told that the government plans to roll out AI use across the NHS as part of a 10-year shift from analogue to digital systems.
Data from Public Health Scotland (PHS) shows 11,341 people had a final diagnosis of a stroke in 2024, compared to 11,137 in the previous year. But only HALF of these people actually got access to the appropriate treatment they needed. Such measures include giving patients aspirin and transferring quickly to specialist wards: vital to ensure the best chance of survival and recovery. The Scottish government responded yesterday that it is investing £52m in stroke care and is working with health boards to drive up standards of local treatment.
Scotland needs a rethink of its stroke service delivery: a study just published suggests people who have a stroke were more likely to die within a year if they lived in more deprived areas. Aberdeen University researchers analysed data from almost 50,000 patients and found that stroke patients in the most deprived areas were younger and had more co-existing health conditions than those in less deprived areas. The treatment patients received also differed according to where they lived.
Have YOU got aphasia?
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.

Well done Tom
ARNI rehabilitation specialists provide a treatment program suited to your needs. The evidence shows clearly that although rehab can’t reverse the effects of a stroke, the goal is to restore as much independence as possible by improving your physical, mental and emotional functions. Different types of emphases regarding concepts, principles and augments will be implemented for your specific needs to relearn skills you lost as a result of your stroke. Depending on the parts of the brain affected, rehabilitation therapy will focus on helping you with movement, speech, strength and daily living activities, such as eating, dressing or grocery shopping. Stroke rehab is recommended for all persons affected by stroke, as those who participate in stroke rehabilitation recover better.
