Upper Body Rehab - Self-help Resource Manual (The Successful Stroke Survivor Book 5)

This book is Volume 5 in the series of 5 taken from best-selling book and manual The Successful Stroke Survivor by Tom Balchin. The 5 Volumes are all that those who have suffered a stroke and have reached the end of formal therapy need to recover AT HOME after therapy finishes. This Volume is set as in a Manual format, with strategies for upper-body action control training complimented by hundreds of illustrations which break down parts of the movement you are working on. THESE ILLUSTRATIONS HAVE BEEN CAREFULLY CREATED SO THAT EACH ONE TAKES UP A WHOLE KINDLE PAGE. THIS ALLOWS YOU TO USE THE BOOK LIKE A â€˜FLIP BOOKâ€™ TO WALK YOU THROUGH EACH SEQUENCE, ALL YOU THEN NEED TO DO IS TO TRY IT. You can keep the Kindle with you to check as you exercise. What kinds of strategies are shown? Groups of stretches for the wrist and fingers to prepare the hand for spending MORE TIME ON TASK (which is what you are going to be doing as you try and retrain your paretic (weaker) hand. Neuroplasticity is about repetitive practice. This manual helps to activate your incredible brain to help your situation with over 50 ways to combat spasticity and flaccidity. There are no 'coping strategies' here: this is all about helping you tackle your limitations with evidence-based principles including how to implement constraint-induced movement at home (mCIMT) and how to use short sticks, balls, books and cylinders and other implements to work your reach and grasp & release in training. The manual explains and gives a suggested format showing how to back it all up with how to perform and record whole tasks, which are 'self-tests on ADL's' (Activities of Daily Life). These 'tells' of incremental functional improvement, such as turning a door handle, switching on a kettle and flushing a lavatory will be your record of improvement. You are shown how to implement the latest occupational therapy evidence-base (such as doing 'eccentric resistance work'). This is the complete upper-body retraining system that Volumes 1 to 4 have described and built up to. No one system can be suitable for a 90 year old and a 10 year old, so in this manual there is more than enough for everyone, however well (or not) you have recovered from stroke to date, IF YOU ARE REALLY WANTING TO DO BETTER. It is a source book from which you need to choose a few exercises to â€˜plugâ€™ into the blank training format shown in Volume 3. You might choose to do 5 things in one session. Or just one thing. ONE THING IS GUARANTEED, OR YOU CAN HAVE YOUR MONEY BACK. IT WILL WORK, IF YOU DO.
