Overall, the road to recovery looks different for everyone. It’s important to do everything you can to keep recovering; and try not to compare your recovery journey with that of someone else.

Repetitions are required but ALSO you need to set goals and targets to get away from supports like wheelchairs, frames and sticks as soon as possible, to go further, to go for set distances, to feel less tired each time, to ramp up the quality of your walking by focusing on how you walk, to walk over different surfaces, to walk with an AFO and without, to tackle stairs, etc.
So its time to get creative!

Many stroke survivors can be assisted to retrain by advising them to have one place and a set amount of times per week in which they devote time to their retraining. I tend to promote the importance of setting up a small matted ‘training area’ in your house, which needs only to be a few square metres wide. You also need a chair and a small table with a task-board, more advanced challenge board and other small items on it.
You need to finding your own task specifics, according to your goals. You also need to work on ‘close-simulations’. Even though simulations are probably not as effective for motor learning as performing the actual task, and remember, we are after significant performance improvement via task practice, you can see that this approach gives you some great advantages. It keeps you in the training area, keeps you working on-task and keeps you safe. And then outside of the training area, you need to make an effort to practice the tasks (or the components of them that you can manage), as part of your ADLs (activities of daily living), noting changes when you can.

The deadlift will do the job of providing real, useable strength better than a hundred lesser exercises. The name of the exercise sounds ‘fierce’, but don’t worry, it’s not really. You will grow to love it, however old you are, for it is the safest and most results-producing exercises for you as a stroke survivor to do. But only if you do it properly; with attention to the technique.

Stroke rehab in this country is critically underfunded and understaffed. And survivors are paying a very heavy price! 🧠💙 The UK government accepts it's failing many patients, and tries to point to a plan to roll out specialist stroke rehabilitation in people's homes so fewer survivors depend on hospital stays. What they mean, I think, is the Integrated Community Stroke Service (ICSS) model. But everyone knows it'll never happen properly.
The strong suggestion by the Labour government of a seamless, uniform 7-day home stroke rehabilitation across the. whole of the UK by around 2035 is so 'shady' that its pretty much resembles a Victorian city street at night. Personally I think it'll never happen. What do you think? ;)
This gap between what the NHS can offer and what survivors actually need is exactly where ARNI stroke rehab services try to help. We all know NHS therapy can be jolly good in spots (while it lasts), but as we also know, it stops once you hit a certain baseline, far before recovery has occurred, and for most of survivors that's LONG before they've reached their potential. Even the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (the professional, educational, and trade union body for UK physios), says community stroke services have, on average, 26% fewer physios than recommended, and that acute stroke teams are down 15%, which is leaving some people with disabilities that could have been avoided.
ARNI-trained instructors step into this gap, working with astonishing success with survivors in the community, one-to-one and at group sessions, on recovery of strength, action control, (balance, walking hand function etc) and the regain of independence again.

One of the most effective ways to improve numbness is through sensory reeducation. This involves repeatedly exposing the affected area to different types of stimulation to help the brain rebuild its understanding of touch.
Examples include:
- Gently rubbing different textures (soft cloth, rough fabric, sponge) on the skin
- Identifying objects without looking (like cutlery or keys)
- Alternating (carefully) between hot and cold sensations
Over time, these can help strengthen the brain’s ability to interpret sensory input more accurately.

Amazing New Finding - Black people in England are having strokes YEARS earlier than their white counterparts. A new study shows us why. 🧠💙
The research from King's College London, published this week in the journal eClinicalMedicine, looked at 30 years of data from more than 8,500 adults on the South London Stroke Register, (is one of the longest-running stroke registers in the world) . And importantly, the SAME patterns in the register show up in diverse urban areas elsewhere around the world.
The headline figure is really stark; diabetes in Black African participants nearly doubled over 20 years, rising from 21% in 1995–2004 to 41% in 2015–2024. High blood pressure and diabetes are both more common and rising faster in Black African and Caribbean groups; diabetes is around twice as common in Black Caribbean and Black African participants as in white participants AND high blood pressure is 29% more common in Black Caribbean and 47% more common in Black African people.
Btw, a lot of these strokes come with no warning at ALL. 12% of strokes in Black African participants happened with no prior risk factor diagnosis, against 6% in white participants, so for many the stroke was the first sign anything was wrong. Related work from the same register, presented at the European Stroke Organisation Conference this May, found Black African people have strokes around 10 to 12 years earlier than white people on average, and that Black African survivors had 34% lower odds of getting timely follow-up care.
Part of the problem is timing. NHS Health Checks screen for high blood pressure and diabetes, but they only start at 40, and obviously that's often too late for higher-risk groups who have strokes younger. Deprivation also adds to it; diabetes was 23% more common in people in manual jobs, like bus drivers, security guards and plumbers, than in non-manual ones.
ARNI Stroke Rehab & Recovery says: loads pf these strokes can be prevented if high blood pressure and diabetes are caught and treated early, so like Daniel Ganier, 29, pictured here, if this post applies to YOU, do ask your GP to check your blood pressure and blood sugar ASAP ;)!

‘Seated marching’, is a difficult exercise because the task is to keep the affected foot returning to the same spot on the floor, parallel to your good foot, rather than extending away from it.
Have you tried this, or is it one of your exercises?
Do you find it easy?
