Your unique stroke recovery timeline will be influenced by some factors that you cannot control; such as your age and the size and location of your stroke. However, there are many factors that you can control, like how often you participate in rehab exercises.

Synergistic movements result from multiple muscle contractions that are triggered at once. For example, if you try to move your shoulder, your elbow might contract.
Flexion synergy patterns after stroke involve three movements:
⢠External rotation of the shoulder
⢠Flexion of the elbow
⢠Supination of the forearm
In other words, whenever you try to move your affected arm, your shoulder will raise, your elbow will contract, and your wrist will turn until your palm faces up. This can also happen even if you donât initiate movement, like when you cough or sneeze.
The best way to overcome flexion synergy patterns after stroke is through repetitive and meaningful practice during stroke rehabilitation exercises. This helps activate neuroplasticity and rewire the brain, which can encourage and promote recovery after a stroke.
The more you move your affected muscles, the more your brain can create new neural pathways that will reestablish communication with muscle groups.
Of course, this can be hard to do, especially when movements are unnatural. As you continue with your exercises, you should eventually achieve normal movement and function â to get as close as possible.
Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com if you need some help. We have trainers throughout the country.

Itâs essential to practice exercises that are effective for your specific ability level. They should be challenging enough to strengthen the muscles, but not so difficult that it makes you want to give up. Likewise, they shouldnât be so easy that youâre mindlessly performing them.
