Repetitive actions engage neuroplasticity and cause changes in the brain. Therefore, a key aspect in stroke recovery is massed practice: exercises with high repetition.
When you perform an action, your brain creates new neural pathways in response to your movement. These pathways make it easier for the brain to store and retrieve information. The more you practice that action, the more you reinforce those neural pathways, and the easier that activity becomes..
Whatever ability you want to improve, with enough practice, you will activate neuroplasticity and help your brain heal itself after stroke. Eventually, you should start to regain that function. If you need some help with your recovery then call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com We have trainers throughout the country who can help you with your recovery.

Apart from ‘being there’ to fill the void after formal therapy finishes, for whatever reason, and to tackle the prevalent problem of stroke survivors with huge potential believing that they will never walk or use their hand again, probably the most important thing that ARNI Instructors are taught is how to show stroke survivors to 'self-train' and get into a pattern (customised programme) of doing so, by THEMSELVES.

A review of The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin.
Comprehensive and detailed.
It is a book with a LOT of information, but all the information is so useful.
The exercises are really clear and helpful to guide someone through how to start and challenge themselves to keep moving after having a stroke and for those looking after them too.

repetition is the key to recovery. The more you practice, the stronger the neural pathways that are beginning to reform are strengthened.
So, always continue to set, and refine, goals and make rehabilitation exercises a priority in your daily routine in order to maximize your recovery potential.
And remember! We have trainers throughout the country who can help you. Call us on 0203 053 0111 or email support@arni.uk.com to see if there's one near you.

James Haldane Is it just temperature? Or is it sensation too? Worth you getting a copy of The Successful Stroke Survivor book (if you don't already have one). It's covered in there.
Can anything be done about a loss of sensation towards temperature?
Exercise: The Metronome This exercise consists of moving from one foot to another, trying to force weight through the affected leg and equalise your hip placement in relation to your stance. It will go some way towards increasing your confidence in your ability to cope with drop-foot and instability. Even subjects with severe limitations from stroke are able to improve their speed and precision of weight shifting by reducing the weight-transfer time toward both legs in a proportionate mannerStand with your feet at shoulder width. Keep your knees unlocked. Then simply sway from one foot to the other, lifting the feet alternately. Spend one or two seconds on each leg.
Find out more about this exercise, and how exactly to do it ,in The Successful Stroke Survivor book by Tom Balchin.

Stretches, by themselves, do nothing for your long term functional movement. They are designed to facilitate tasks so if you're only doing stretches you need 'to do something' after the stretch.
The main reason that stretching is good for you as a stroke survivor is that it will release tight muscles temporarily, which will make a difference to your exercise form.
Those with low tone need to prevent muscles becoming thin through lack of use (atrophy). They need to try to thicken the muscles (hypertrophy). A paradox about spasticity is that due to the spinal cord firing signals to the muscles all the time, high tone muscles don't have much chance to atrophy. So, high tone can lead to shorter but thicker muscles and low tone muscles might become longer but thinner. This holds implications for the need to stretch before resistance training, which is why I will show you a simple grouping of ankle, calf and hamstring stretches that you can do before, during and after sessions.
