18 Ways to Improve Cognitive Problems after Stroke | ARNI
arni.uk.com
A change in cognitive ability is common after a stroke. Did you know that as many as two-thirds of stroke survivors may experience cognitive impairment as a result of their stroke.? If this is you…
For the results you deserve (as this is your life) you ideally need to train one to one with a trainer until you can learn enough to train yourself, or you must train yourself. That’s the bottom line!
Call us on 0203 053 0111, or email support@arni.uk.com to find out if there's a trainer near you who can help you.

So where do you start with all this? Well, this is actually pretty easy. Start where you are, and just improve from there. If you can walk for five metres with a trainer or therapist holding your hand lightly, then do those five, and make sure to do six, even seven the next time. Then once you reach ten, go back and get the therapist or trainer to stand close, but not touch you. You are on a mission to do things yourself, progressively. This means that you need to make things tougher for yourself each time, but not too hard that you risk failing each time.

After orthotics yesterday we discussed no AFO and a knee brace (while I do eversion stuff, and hip, calf and knee strength stuff still)..... I'm wearing good boots that are supporting my ankle too and basically I think I'm relearning to walk after 22mths nearly using an AFO!
The more you attempt to move, the better your movement will get.
So keep- moving!!

Apart from ramping up physical activity and cardio activity, by far the most important part of recovery from many stroke survivors’ points of view is rehabilitation. Hence ARNI’s concentration on teaching you techniques to tackle hundreds of improvement activities including weight-bearing, balance and gait-control (including how to cope with drop-foot and reducing the required supporting power of the AFO over time, etc), coping strategies (such as getting down and up from the floor unaided and emergency action avoidance techniques, turning etc), upper limb training (tackling spasticity. flaccidty etc) one to one, with the help of a physio or trainer, as well as how to train for cardio effect independently at home.

Wow, there’s so much to do after stroke, right?

Have you hit a plateau in your Stroke recovery?
I want you to know that it’s normal, even though it’s frustrating.
But there are things you can do to break through, & it doesn’t mean completely restructuring your current rehab routine.
Make small changes to the exercises & activities you’re doing now.
For example, if you’re working on arm strength, add weight to your wrist while putting dishes away.
Small changes can help you to finally break through the recovery plateau!

There's a great exercise in The Successful Stroke Survivor book called Stick Sword-play. It's an advanced, multi-joint movement, movement, suitable for you when you have a fair degree of voluntary control. The technique is straightforward.
It’s your time to get busy with your ‘sword’, with an imaginary opponent in front of you.
Have you tried it?

Could do some damage with that! 😂
No but me and my granddaughter plays hot potato with a balloon
Onto one of our favourite topics at ARNI – trying to regain action control of the upper limb.
A majority of stroke survivors who are matched with ARNI specialist instructors, when relaying their prior physiotherapy and any other early rehabilitative efforts, will report that the focus of their therapy to date has usually been on the paretic lower limb & balance, weight-bearing & walking practice. A minority remembered consistently focusing on practising upper limb exercises.
This happens for a number of reasons, but primarily because it is critical to get stroke survivors walking, and also essential to keep spirits up with the recognition of progress, which probably is facilitated better by the thought of being able to walk again.
So hospitals often do not have time to devote to extensive hand-function efforts, and by the time further treatment is sought, the task is all the more harder. But it is vital that stroke survivors are shown what to do in the community in order to continue the work of the therapists.
ARNI founder, Dr Tom, has consistently found it no simple task to work out exactly what to try to do in order to help someone with a presentation of spasticity or flaccidity (or most likely, a combination of the two, depending upon at what point one gets to meet the survivor).
Each presentation has varying characteristics (so no specialist knows fully what kind of evidence-based 'mix of interventions' to apply, otherwise stroke survivors in general would be doing much better these days!). But there are LOADS of ways to try (to engage neuroplasticity/encourage spasticity/flaccidity decline etc etc...)
Btw, ARNI has over 170 active trainers and therapists across the UK, who attempt to support you to do help yourself, if you have u/l problems; guiding and guarding you into/toward a pattern of success.
And helping you set up a practice regime/programme - and also how someone else can help you – mainly in positioning your hand and supporting your arm to do task-practice. And will show you a number of best ways that you can get started. No need for expensive kit either.

It really is so important. I feel the neglect of focus on strengthening the shoulder/elbow/wrist to improve their range of motion, regaining feel and function of upper limb slips further away. But always, loop back and go again like an iteration. Sometimes, the expense of the kit isn’t always a major hurdle. It was also for me initially and I made some expensive mistakes buying stuff that didn’t even function the way it claimed to let alone help my recovery. Then as my income from work and benefits stabilised, I could direct it towards my health. The Moveable reach trainer from the ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery stroke solutions shop looks great (please include a video of it in action on the site) I did see it somewhere maybe on Richard Lamotte’s Facebook as your posts usually send me off on investigations and I get too distracted to come back and thank you. ( thank you heaps- you are trusted) I had already bought an assistive arm thing to clamp to the edge of my desk for 4 times the price and different/less functionality. Brilliant story of the evolution of it (thanks Richard and Kirsten Lamotte and family x)
