New Stroke Cognition Calculator transforms future recovery predictions! 📢Researchers at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences have developed a really interesting prediction tool to identify long term cognitive changes in stroke survivors soon after hospital admission: have a read....
This innovative Stroke Cognition Calculator achieved a seventy six per cent accuracy rate during testing by analysing routinely collected data such as age and stroke severity alongside the Oxford Cognitive Screen. Unlike previous models that only predicted decline the team led by Professor Nele Demeyere accounted for the fact that thinking skills can improve or stay stable over time.
Study author and colleague of ARNI Stroke Rehab Charity, Andrea Kusec, highlights that because the tool utilises existing NHS medical records it remains an affordable and easily implemented solution for clinical practice. Further validation across thirty seven hospitals in England confirmed the reliability of these predictions for diverse healthcare settings across the United Kingdom. This personalised approach aims to reduce the uncertainty families face regarding invisible effects like memory and planning difficulties after leaving the ward.
By providing a more informed estimate of future needs clinicians can better prepare patients for their specific recovery trajectory and ensure appropriate support is in place. ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says that this research represents a vital advancement in managing the psychological and cognitive complexities that us stroke survivors encounter during our long term journey... 🧠📈✨

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.

Do you know the best way to regain movement after a stroke?
The answer is by practicing movement.
But not just any movement – it must be specific, therapeutic, and highly repetitive. This helps stimulate neuroplasticity in the brain and improve control over your muscles.

Shocking million pound settlement for stroke survivor follows avoidable hospital misdiagnosis! A mother from Bishops Stortford received this compensation after Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust admitted a breach of duty regarding her 2016 stroke assessment at Addenbrooke's Hospital.
Despite presenting with left side paralysis, the patient was told her symptoms were likely stress related and was discharged without a specialist referral. This catastrophic error led to a second major stroke just one day later which resulted in permanent physical disabilities and chronic pain. The patient's legal team was able to highlight the basic mistakes and that an inconclusive CT scan caused an utterly preventable situation.
The Trust eventually settled for one million pounds to cover damages after initially changing their position on whether the error caused the second stroke. Such cases illustrate the critical importance of immediate specialist intervention and fast track protocols for all suspected neurological symptoms in UK emergency departments.
For stroke survivors in the UK, this highlights the necessity of robust legal advocacy if required/appropriate and to email Director Dr Tom Balchin if you think you need a steer in terms of the best solicitor & legal company to help you if you feel you have a case. ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says that no amount of financial compensation can truly replace lost independence or the precious months missed with young children - and that we remain dedicated to supporting all survivors who have faced such life changing challenges to regain their functional control. 🏥⚖️🧠📉💪

This happened to my daughter, missed 7 bleeds on her brain, we got a 34 page apologie no cash .
Happened to me twice in one week with my gp told me firstly it was a panic attack and 2nd visit it was vertigo 2 different gps, ended up taking myself to a&e
If police have contact with someone 48hrs before they die *even* if the person wasn't arrested it is treated and investigated as death in police custody..... Is there anything like this in the NHS?

Mines not a stroke but a brain injury (car accident 2020 before first round of covid) told its in my head for nearly 2 years - An im imaging it! diagnosed at 2 yrs with post concussion mild traumatic brain injury i was ignored then buried but i took it apart piece by piece an worked out who I needed to see an asked for referrals global left side weakness, migraines daily, double vision, sound sensitivity, noise sensitivity, balance issues- took till 2024 to get rehabilitation (at this point im told this isn't post concussion syndrome its a brain injury) with a new doctors surgery i paid to see a neuro opthalmologist (2024) to prove i needed a referral to get a referral 2025 after 5 years of blurred double vision everytime i tried to read, im diagnosed with needing prisms as ive convergence on both eyes, (its common in brain injuries) got referred to ENT thru them an actually have an appointnent next week for balance issues 2026! Yep ive always had balance issues since 2020 Never stop trying an pushing forward 👍 medical notes reacted (yes that means deleted!) But my injuries cant be deleted because they need treating an are still recorded because you cant delete MSK, physio, neurologist, neuro opthalmology, rehabilitation, neuro psychology, never stop pushing 😁 eventually the truth will come out they all know! An im tired of being silent 🤫
Innovative magnetic hydrogel injection could soon prevent strokes! So, to do this, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Geneva have developed a magnetic soft robot that can be steered via a catheter into the left atrial appendage of the heart.
This area is the primary source of blood clots in patients with atrial fibrillation and currently requires complex surgical procedures or metal implants to seal.
The study published in 'Nature' explains how the hydrogel transforms from a liquid into a flexible solid plug that perfectly conforms to the unique shape of a patient's anatomy. This magnetic gel was successfully tested in rats and a pig to demonstrate that it can safely block the appendage to reduce stroke risk without the need for invasive open heart surgery.
While the results are ground-breaking, the tech must now obviously pass rigorous human clinical trials before it can be considered for routine implementation in the UK. Expert consensus suggests that it may take between five and ten years for such bio-inspired materials to reach the NHS for standard patient care. ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says 'hurry up with this non-invasive solution to reducing the incidence of primary and secondary strokes globally!'. 🧠💉🛡️

This is Dr Tom (back when he had some hair on his head!) A three plate pinch hold for time probably around 8 years after stroke with paralysis of the left side of his body. Now, you don't have to re-train to this extent, but just to inspire you!

Stretches are very important for improving your ability to grasp and release items with your hand. You can do them all the time; if possible.
The best results are seen in people who have consistently stretched their wrist, fingers and thumb on their affected side from very early on. You have to manipulate and stretch gently. Stretching however, by itself will not bring recovery. You have to be task focused, So when you have stretched you then ‘do something challenging’ such as trying to pick up a hairbrush and put it into a cupboard or drawer.
