THE EVIDENCE AND ‘THE BIG 10’ OF STROKE RECOVERY | ARNI
arni.uk.com
Even if you have hired the help of a trainer or a therapist to get you started (advised), you must have input towards your own rehabilitation and not be a passive recipient. It’s time for action and...
Petr Piokomy is a qualified specialist personal trainer in stroke and neurological rehabilitation, and has been working in this field for the past 16 years. For the last 7 of those, he's been an associate of the ARNI Institute.
To keep this service running, ARNI relies heavily on donations and a small portion of commission from training sessions. Compared to private neuro rehab centres, ARNI offers a highly affordable and effective alternative - but they need support to keep going.
Here's how Petr is helping:
On Friday, September 25, 2026, ARNI instructor Petr will be taking on 13 Valleys challenge in Lake District in effort to raise awareness and funds for ARNI. This is around 114 miles throughout the national park with over 7,000 metres of elevation gain. This will be the longest and most challenging run he has run and is classed as ''brutal'' difficulty.
This is no small challenge - but it’s nothing compared to what many stroke survivors face every day.
If you can spare anything at all, we'd be be truly grateful for your support. Every donation helps ARNI deliver life-changing rehabilitation to someone who needs it.

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. Please enquire to arni.co.uk/get-remote-speech-language-help-now/

Still floored by fatigue every afternoon, long after your stroke? You're not alone. 🧠
This post stems from a question Arul Das Yanakan raised in Comments earlier today. He had his stroke in November 2024, and finds that by 4pm he's wiped out, especially after a quite a long day. If that sounds familiar, you're in good company and you're doing anything wrong... but there are things you can do to help the situation.
Post-stroke fatigue affects nearly half of all survivors, and it comes down to what a stroke does to the brain's energy networks; with some pathways damaged, the ones left have to work much harder to run the same everyday movement and thinking.
There are other (biological) reasons behind it too, including low-grade inflammation, less energy reserve inside brain cells, changes in dopamine and serotonin, and a weakened filter that leaves the brain struggling to screen out background noise.
In my experience, the encouraging thing is that for many survivors it eases over the first couple of years as the brain adapts, and with around 40% still dealing with it at two years, someone just over a year in has a real chance of further improvement.
The first lesson most people learn is to stop pushing through, because pushing through only makes the next day worse; pacing works far better, breaking the day into chunks and resting before you reach the wall rather than after it. It's also worth asking your GP to check for/discuss sleep apnoea, low mood, ongoing pain and te effect of current meds.
For you, Arul, rather than 10k steps in one block, spreading that walking across the day with breaks may possibly let you cover the same ground without the crash you told me about.
ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says: post-stroke fatigue is very real. It's physical, and it can be managed once you learn to work with it instead of against it. Thanks to Arul for raising thus, and if you're in the same boat, 'pacing' is the really good 'first' thing to try. 🧠💙

You rest because your body is telling you to rest well don't listen to our bodies it always talk to us before something happens we just have to listen
Ask for a Meds reveiw as many are given as standard initially. I had a Brain Stem stroke 2020, today and for the last 9 months i take no meds. I still have muscle tightness weakness that can be painfull but no tiredness/fatigue.
Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated. Have started to stop pushing myself from a few days ago and its helping. Just that my brain constantly wants me to go out and explore and make up for lost time when I was wheel chair bound. Though the fatigue is real, it has also translated into better cognition and balance. Guess I have to phase myself and dont wear out myself. Not doing myself any good when I stretch myself at this stage of recovery.
Thank you for addressing . I’m 4 years tomorrow and still suffer with fatigue . I’ve learnt to manage but when you look fine you’re expected to be fine .. I truly find this for me the worst symptom as it’s so hard to explain as well as express as it’s invisible to everyone else especially work
Thank you for this post. Fatigue is my main ongoing issue. I’m drained from the moment I wake up. In earlish stages of recovery it wasn’t that bad and after I was home from hospital/rehab, I was going to day rehab for 3 hours 2 days a week with 3 hours travel (public transport) each time and was coping with that. I then returned to work and fatigue kicked in pretty soon and even with reduced hours I was unable to function. That’s a good word”function” as fatigue is not just feeling tired which is what most people think. Even burn out isn’t like this. PSF manifests itself physically, mentally and emotionally leaving the patient completely wiped out band unable to function in the way they’re used to with even simple tasks being daunting and a challenge. Realistically some days all I can muster energy to do is get out of bed
Had stroke fatigue for 30 years every day
Stroke Fatigue is Real it sometimes last for days just keep asking Jesus for help to Endure this awful feeling
My 2 strokes were this past memorial weekend. Yes I fo tire easily. But I am working on getting things done. I have finished my training for a short term job that will only be for two day this coming August. I am curious to see if I am able to work the two 12 hour shifts.
Thank you for the insight. It’s been 19 months since my stroke and the lingering fatigue is hard to deal with. Thankful that most other symptoms have subsided.
Nearly 20 years on and the intense tirdness is still there.
Wonderful..I'm 11 years in..three strokes walk 5 miles most days..that doesn't seem to fatique me persee..but nonetheless I do suffer generally from phenomenal fatique.. overall
19 months post stroke and its one of the things I struggle with daily. Unfortunately pacing doesn't work so well for me as I have a very active 19 month old. She was just 5 days old when I had my hemorrhagic stroke and there are still challenges every day.
Yep afternoon naps are a must for me. Feel so much better afterwards, it’s like turning something off and on again, resets the body to continue for another 8 hours.
Strange I don't experience fatigue but only when I return from my bi weekly rehab classes. I try not to take naps during the day because then I battle to sleep at night.
After two years I just started taking sativa cannabis regularly to stop the fatigue. It keeps me still pushing through and stops the napping so much.
6 months in now and I just hit a wall for no reason I just need a little Power nap. Is that normal?
my family do not understand i am so shatterd constent .
Anyone also experiencing some confusing, specially at night?
So true!!
Three years down the line from my strokes, I’m still tired and it can hit almost anytime. I thought it was just me getting old. Glad to hear that it’s another symptom and not me being lazy. It doesn’t matter how much sleep I get at night, it’s just something I’ve been trying to deal with. Thank you for the information and now I know it’s not me being lazy.
I'm constantly tired after my stroke
Yep agree I also have fatigue from my chemotherapy added to the mix
What about post stroke pain😢

Yea not easy when you're used to being active.
This is an ARNI blog that is definitely worth a read. It is looking at therapy post-stroke and what happens you are discharged and the prescribed therapy stops.
Some questions to think about once you have read it...
What do you think? Does community therapy end too quickly? And what can community services do better to support physical rehab? Also, what does usual clinical care tend not to concentrate on enough for individuals before discharge?
If you feel you need more therapy call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com We have trainers throughout the country who can help you continue your recovery.

If you have upper limb difficulties, this is the video that will be your ally. Here, Dr Tom shows you how you, too, can get as excellent function back in your upper limb as he has. He shows you what he did to gain function and shows tools that he has built to help survivors train their reach, grasp and release. He then shows you exactly how to make or acquire what you need to do what many hundreds of people have used to significantly (and very quickly) to reduce spasticity and flaccidity – and to gain control again of your more-affected hand.

Task-specific practice is the ‘number one’ way to retrain the brain. It means simply to train the action to be performed in a natural environment. For example, if you wanted to lift a mug and drink from it, you should take a mug and practice lifting and drinking from it, over and over again … and attempt to improve progressively and consistently.

腦出血後遺症有藥治癒嗎？
Just walking!
Do what you can. It’s amazing the amount of people who we see coming to training who have been left by therapists in an adequate state, yet who have simply regressed when left to their own devices. Many are wheeled about in wheelchairs when there is no reason for these devices to be used except to save time when getting from A to B. I understand completely how this happens, and have great sympathy. As we have said, life is to be lived. The problem is that paradoxically you will probably end up living less in real terms! The struggle to walk counts. Each step counts. (You know this already though.)
