Applications - Talwind - Arm Movment following a Stroke
Why Exercise after Stroke?
The leading causes of mortality in stroke survivors are cardiovascular disease and recurrent stroke. However, physical activity decreases the risk factors associated with those two outcomes.
Psychosocial factors also affect stroke survivors depending on the subsequent degree of disability. These and other factors can lead to post-stroke depression, the incidence of which ranges from 18 to 68 percent.
Tailwind is supplied with a metronome to help clients set and keep to a rhythm. We suspect that lots of repetitions in a rhythmic pattern help the body relearn how to use an arm affected by a stroke. A new client shared a view with me which I feel is quite inspiring.More Articles...
