The most important thing to do, if you have some movement in your upper limb, is to use it every day in functional tasks as normally as possible. It can be helpful to get visitors/ relatives or friends to help you with these exercises. Although there is no set time you should do this, initial research studies suggest 60 minutes of stimulation per day for at least six weeks.Įxercises are best done in a quiet environment for short periods (about 20 minutes) three times daily. Recovery varies between everyone and it is not definite that your sensation will recover, however it is recommended to trial a period of sensory re-education. Sensory re-education can start from day one post stroke. Techniques can include: touching different textured objects, massage, vibration, pressure, determining joint position, identifying different temperatures.
Sensory re-education is used in an attempt to retrain or stimulate sensory pathways.
