Are you a stroke survivor and your fingers havent woken up after stroke?

If so, you might want to try electrical stimulation.

If you're not on a pacemaker, this is a handy exercise tool to help wake up individual fingers like the index finger, after stroke.

Have you ever been in your recovery after stroke, and noticed that you can make a fist, but not open?

If so, its probably because your brain hasn't learnt how to "relax" the muscles or fingers used to grip.

This is a great exercise idea to help loosen the hand up after stroke, and teach the brain how to strengthen up muscles used to open up the hand after stroke.

Have you ever asked yourself why sometimes when you walk, it feels like one leg feels heavier than the other? For some survivors, it feels like they are walking like they are drunk. For others, they have been told that they walk like a penguin.

If you're a stroke survivor and you've experienced any of the above, it may be because your brain is relying too much on your stronger leg to walk, and help maintain balance after stroke.

Performing bridging exercises are great for regaining balance after stroke, as they can help train your brain to put more weight on both the affected and non affected leg, and help with getting into more of a rhythm when walking

Quite often in recovery after stroke, the brain may rely more on the stronger leg to help with walking. This may lead to challenges with balance, as well as a higher risk of falling.

Wall squats are great exercises to try to teach your brain how to recover, and strengthen both legs to help with balance after stroke

Quite often after stroke, the affected leg may lag behind the strong leg and it may feel like you're "walking underwater", or like a penguin. In most cases, this is because the muscles which help bend the affected knee are weakened, and dont turn on when switching legs to take the next step.

this is a great exercise to do with your affected leg, to train up those muscles responsible for helping walking feel alot smoother and more in a rhythm after stroke.

In recovery after stroke, your brain may forget how to correctly send signals to the muscles which help grip, which may be the reason why they cant open.

Theraputty is a great tool to use to teach the brain how to better control signals to the muscles which grip, so that it can learn how to relax them and eventually open.

Are you a stroke survivor and your hand still hasnt woken up?

If you are and dont have a pacemaker, electrical stimulation may be worthwhile. It is used to help rewire connections which were lost after stroke, so that you can get back some movements you might have lost after stroke. This is a good placement to help teach the brain how to open the hand after stroke.

Have you ever tried to lift up your leg after stroke but find it feels heavier than the other?

If you've ever experienced anything like this, its usually because of weakness in the muscles at the front of the leg or hip, which help to lift the leg when walking.

This is a great exercise to do if you're looking to improve your walking after stroke, especially if you are just starting out.
