This stoke recovery book is Essential Reading
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 July 2020
This is the book that anyone who has had a stroke, or is associated with a stroke survivor, must read. It is just not possible to write a book about stroke survival unless you have experienced the sheer terror of it first-hand. Tom Balchin outlines what happens when you have a stroke, what help is (or should be) at hand, provides practical help with coping strategies and exercises. What he hasn't provided in this book probably isn't worth knowing. I just wish it had been available when I had my stroke 6 years ago, when I (and my husband) hit a wall of confusion, lack of information and poor NHS after-care. Things could have been so different! I have learned things from this book even now and intend to follow them up. A Brilliant Book.

Loss of arm function is a very common problem after stroke. A well-known feature that can creep in is called ‘learned non-use’, where the stroke survivor quickly gets very good at doing most reaching, grasping and releasing tasks with their less-affected, functional arm… ultimately him or her to forego efforts to improve the more-affected arm. Which is not good at all. Stroke survivors really want to know therefore whether intensive rehabilitation really does improve their upper limb motor control processes and reduce their impairments. And if it does, how should they go about getting this/doing it?
There is converging evidence that more therapy might result in better outcomes: current evidence suggests that intensive rehabilitation therapy helps people regain movement in their affected arm in the first few months after stroke. However, stroke survivors get to believe that little (if any) improvement can be made later on, which is sad, because we know this is not true.
Regaining lost movement may be possible many years after suffering a stroke, thanks to intensive rehabilitation therapy methods and inclusion of some principles, concepts and augments into rehab programmes. . With the right therapy combinations, people can see improvements in movement, everyday function, and quality of life.

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.
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.

This research indicates that acute exercise therapies, especially aerobic exercise and resistance training, can markedly enhance the motor function, cardiovascular health, neuroplasticity, and functional recovery in stroke survivors. Enhancements in strength, gait, balance, and endurance were frequently noted, accompanied by moderate impacts on quality of life and functional autonomy. Brain imaging outcomes related to neuroplasticity indicate that acute exercise can facilitate brain reconfiguration and enhance recovery. In general, acute exercise was determined to be safe and practicable, with few adverse outcomes.
