    ARNI has a Zoom-based speech and language service for the public with specialist SLT colleagues. . If you have aphasia, you will find it hard to say what you’re thinking (expressive) or understand the spoken word (receptive). It can also affect your reading and writing skills. Aphasia occurs in as many as 40% of stroke survivors, making it the most common communication disorder caused by stroke, but many people conquer aphasia completely.

    Synergistic movement refers to coordinated movements that occur when multiple muscle groups are activated simultaneously. When a stroke affects the part of the brain that controls muscle movement, your brain cannot correctly send signals to your muscles. Thus, motor difficulties such as abnormal synergistic movement may occur. The best way to retrain your brain is with consistent practice of stroke rehabilitation exercises.

    We have trainers throughout the country who can help with your recovery. Call us on 0203 053 0111 o0r email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's one near you.

    The balance problems of stroke survivors are often related to uneven weight distribution and difficulties in muscle use, which increases postural sway during standing. Postural control requires the ability to generate and apply forces to control the body's position in space, which makes standing on a foot with which your brain cannot control seem to be an impossible task.

    Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's a trainer who can work with you on your balance.

    While spasticity treatment exercises may help to stretch and strengthen the muscles, the primary objective of these exercises is to activate neuroplasticity. Over time, the adaptive changes made through neuroplasticity may help spasticity subside, allowing the affected muscles to remain relaxed unless functionally contracting.

    Left neglect after stroke is a condition that causes lack of attention and spatial awareness on the left side of the survivor. When someone with left neglect is approached from their left side, for example, they may not notice or respond to you. This is because the brain has been affected in a way that impairs the survivor’s ability to hold attention on their affected side.

    Practicing visual scanning exercises is a great way to treat left neglect because it trains the brain to pay attention to the left side. The more you practice intentionally paying attention to your affected side, the better you will get at it because of neuroplasticity.
