TIPS (tDCS in post-stroke fatigue)
is a Wellcome Trust and Stroke Association funded study in which
we are trying to identify neural correlates of fatigue or tiredness in stroke patients.
Does reduced motor cortical excitability cause post-stroke fatigue?
Please have a look at the flyer from the Institute of Neurology concerning this vital but under-researched area.
For more information, please contact:

The ARNI programme involves task-specific functional movement training, development of physical management strategies, stroke- specific resistance training with adjuncts such as technology and pharmacological inputs recommended as appropriate. It was borne out of Tom Balchin’s own rehab experience. He credits part of his success to an “innovative” physio who, in the early days after his stroke, taught him the importance of regaining self- reliance as quickly as possible.
If you like this post then please share it with others. Each time that you share a post, you can directly help other people – as who knows which people in the world might find us and gain, either directly from the charity or simply by being able to copy an ‘innovative and useful’ move/trick of the trade that might help them manage after stroke.
Every time you share, you could directly help someone – as knowledge is power ;)

To all intents and purposes, you possess a ‘use-it-or-lose-it’ brain. Function gets worse with non-use but neuroplasticity means that the finger-maps in the brain, if given the appropriate inputs, can grow and rewire in find ways to perform the lost function.

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.

Mark, I simply can’t ethically give advice to you to do anything at all over Facebook and you know as well as I do that you should only follow evidence-based data or at least indications which show as much evidence of moderate to high degrees of efficacy as possible. So I’ve asked Dr Tom – and the two sources he strongly encourages you to read come from the EBRSR website, are absolutely BRILLIANT and are the two Clinical Handbooks downloadable as Sections 3 and 4 on www.ebrsr.com/clinician-handbook . Hope that helps.
So playing a round of golf would certainly help then?
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.

Pick some exercises that target the muscles you want to improve and add them to your exercise program.
Consistency and repetition is key for rewiring the brain so try to practice at least 20 repetitions of each exercise.
Have a look at the website if you don't know where to start/what to do, There are books and DVD that will help you. Give us a call on 0203 053 0111 tor email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's a trainer who can work with you on your recovery.
