You have to stretch your upper limb (gently), knowing at the same time simply stretching won’t bring recovery. You have to be task-focused. So, when you do a stretch, you then do something challenging and specific functionally with the stretch. For example, stretch, then try to pick a hairbrush up and put it into a cupboard.
Taken from the book Had A Stroke? Now What? by Tom Balchin.

The more you engage in passive exercise, the stronger the connection between your brain and muscles should become. When this connection is strong enough, you can begin to regain minimal movement in your affected limb. Once you can move a bit, you must engage in repetitive, active exercises to continue strengthening those neural pathways.
Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.k.com if you need a trainer to help you with your recovery.

Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share a super practical and helpful tip for those of us with a paretic leg or drop-foot who love using a stationary exercise bike but struggle to keep our foot securely on the pedal! It can be so frustrating when our foot slips off mid-cycle 😥.
Well, there’s a simple, affordable solution that can make a huge difference in your rehab and exercise routine! You can use something like the Strap-in Platform Pedals from the CyclingDeal Store on Amazon at under £30. These aren't just for cycling enthusiasts; they are perfect for our needs ;)
These clever pedals come with adjustable straps that comfortably and securely hold your foot in place. This means you can pedal with confidence, without worrying about your foot dropping or sliding off. It allows for a more consistent and safer exercise session, which is vital for building strength, improving circulation, and helping with recovery! 💪
It's all about adapting our environment to suit our bodies and not letting these challenges stop us from getting our legs stronger and getting cardiovascularly active! 🚴♀️🚴♂️
Check out options like the CyclingDeal pedals online (they usually just clip onto your existing exercise bike pedals). Could make the difference for your workout routine and help you get back into a regular exercise groove! 🌟 Keep pedalling, keep strong, and keep moving forward together! ❤️

Did you know that a big problem for ARNI trainers is that 'hidden' sensory deficits, particularly proprioception (our body's ability to sense movement and position), are notoriously hard to assess with traditional methods, which often rely on the stroke survivor being able to move their affected arm? But obviously many survivors have limited or no movement, creating a huge blind spot for clinicians and community neuro-exercise instructors like ARNI personnel.
Just published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, Joanna Hoh's innovative solution uses the KINARM robotic exoskeleton. The robot is able to passively move the affected arm while the patient, with their eyes closed, uses their unaffected arm to mirror the movement or position. This approach gets to the heart of the issue by teasing apart pure sensory issues from motor deficits. The robot does all the moving, so a lack of movement ability doesn't obscure the test results.
ARNI Stroke Rehab UK comments that research shows that without sensory recovery, a person will not gain full functional recovery after a stroke. By accurately identifying the specific type and severity of sensory loss, doctors and therapists can create much more targeted and effective rehabilitation plans.🙏💖

The brain has a life-long capacity to learn and adapt. Through processes called neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, the brain remodels itself in response to learning and experience. This allows the brain to change it’s structure and organisation; strengthening, adding or removing neural connections or creating new cells (neurons). Neuroplasticity does decline as we age, but it doesn’t stop. It’s never to late to learn a new skill . This is only possible due the still present ‘plasticity’.

Personally I think practising meditation, gratitude and acting selflessly only comes at the end of one's rehab journey, after one hell of a lot of success. Before that, one can meditate all one wants but you've GOT to be selfish about your OWN rehab - I've said this time and time again over the years and it's absolutely so - a successful stroke survivor is someone who's been laser focused and self-rehab is their absolute, dominant, (yes, selfish, but not really, is it, as everyone understands and cheers one on) everyday focus 😉 Tom
Is this for real or what they tell us stroke patients

I contacted you last month still haven’t heard of any therapy people , looks like I’m on my own again
I’m 3yers stork in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
6years and still haven't recovered my left hand and arm but I still stretch them.
We live in chorley lancs it's for my husband two years ago he had his stroke
Bit of a thing of mine Just because you work harder DOESN’T mean you recover It helps but sometimes no matter how hard you try the reality is recovery may not be 100% It definitely helps
Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share an incredibly powerful story of a fellow stroke survivor, Mark Todd from Cramlington: Mark's stroke happened during what should have been a moment of pure joy: watching Newcastle United play at Wembley Stadium ⚽️.
In the stands, surrounded by fellow fans, he suffered a stroke that changed his life in an instant. It's a shocking reminder that a stroke can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any age. Mark himself admitted he had ignored his over-40s health check, which could have flagged his high blood pressure earlier 😥.
But Mark's story is one of determination: while he faced a long road in the hospital, he has been working incredibly hard on his rehabilitation at Walkergate Park 🧠💪. His partner Kate gave birth to their son, Emmett, while he was in rehab, and Mark got to be there for the birth..
His recovery is a step-by-step process, but he's making amazing progress. He's working on his gait control, can move around in his wheelchair and is practising typing with a laptop in his hospital room because he wants to get back to work ASAP ⌨️
Mark is a true fighter and we wish him and his family all the best in his journey and celebrate his incredible progress! Let's show him some love and#ARNIstrokerehabw#strokesurvivorR#marktodde#NewcastleUnitedv#wembleyT#recoveryjourneyi#StrokeAwarenessc#StrongerTogethero#neurorehab #StrongerTogether #NeuroRehab
