Most Important for Stroke Survivors

📌Positioning

👉Positioning helps in reducing/preventing:

Skin damage ( Bed sores)
Limb swelling ( DVT)
Blood Circulation
Shoulder pain
Subluxation
Discomfort
Respiratory complications ( chest congestion)
It also helps maximize function and maintain soft tissue length.

🔘Positioning recommendations

📌Chair

▪️sitting in an armchair (Arm Support devices such as a Lap Tray may be used to assist with arm positioning for those at risk of shoulder subluxation)
▪️Chair positioning with family addressing from hemiplegic side
▪️Trunk positioning with blanket roll to maintain upright
▪️Hemiplegic arm supported on bedside table
▪️Legs in neutral position can use blanket roll to assist
▪️Feet flat on floor

📌Bed

▪️Side lying on the unaffected side then side lying on the affected side. (2 hourly turning positions)
▪️Elevation of the limb when resting for individuals who are immobile to prevent swelling in the hand and foot (above the heart)
▪️Positioning for increased stimulation of the affected side for patients with hemi spatial neglect
▪️Head positioning with towel roll
▪️Hand with wash cloth roll.
▪️Foot positioning with Foothold boots or Skin Care heel float or pillow for positioning

Did you know we have a “Second Heart” in our legs?

No, it’s not a myth—it’s the nickname given to the calf muscles, and the reason why is truly fascinating!

When we walk, climb stairs, or simply stand up, these muscles contract and act like a natural pump, pushing blood upward—against gravity—toward the heart. 💪🩸

This mechanism is essential for: ✔️ Supporting venous circulation
✔️ Preventing blood from pooling in the legs
✔️ Reducing swelling, heaviness, and the appearance of varicose veins
✔️ Lowering the risk of deep vein thrombosis

It all works thanks to the teamwork between muscles and venous valves, which prevent the blood from flowing backward.

👉 That’s why sitting or staying still for too long can be harmful—while regular movement, even a simple walk, helps your circulatory system function more efficiently.

💡 In other words: every step you take is a gift to your heart.
Walking, moving, stretching... simple gestures, but vital for your health.

❤️ Don’t forget: taking care of your legs means taking care of your heart.
