Stroke Recovery

Movement program for individuals recovering from stroke, addressing hemiplegic pattern correction, affected-side activation, bilateral integration exercises, and gait retraining.

Clinical note: Stroke recovery follows a non-linear trajectory. Affected side function varies from complete paralysis to mild weakness. Assessment must measure both sides independently. Learned non-use of the affected side is a major barrier — encourage bilateral integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Stroke Recovery assessment include?
The assessment covers Shoulder Internal Rotation, Shoulder Flexion, Hip Internal Rotation, Ankle Dorsiflexion with functional screening criteria. It generates a prioritized corrective plan with 3 intervention targets.
How is the Stroke Recovery protocol different from a general assessment?
This protocol is calibrated specifically for stroke recovery with 6 targeted tests, impaired-specific benchmarks, and corrective exercises designed for this population's unique needs and constraints.
How do I get started with the Stroke Recovery protocol?
Apply for an assessment through AKMI. Your coach will run the Stroke Recovery protocol as part of your initial structural evaluation, then build a personalized corrective plan based on the findings.
