You have to go all the way to Australia to get unusual and decent stroke rehab. Ask your therapist for this.

Maroubra's Sam Pavone struggled to leave the house after he suffered
a stroke two years ago but he has never looked back since discovered
Fishing 4 Therapy.
An experienced fisherman, he felt frustrated sitting at home every
day for 12 months watching fishing TV shows longing to get back out
there.
"I used to get very upset and angry," he said. "Now I'm positive and
as the fishing day gets closer I feel more happy and excited."
Not even experiencing another stroke in January this year could stop Mr Pavone from picking up the rod again four months ago.
Australian National Sportsfishing Association NSW made a
rehabilitation tool for him out of an old fishing rod recently so he can
build-up arm strength and movement.
ANSA NSW special projects officer Tony Steiner said everyone was blown away with Mr Pavone's results.
"Sam had gone from 'Mr Shy' to moving his frame around to all the
other attendees making sure baits were on correctly," he said.
"Sam shed a few tears of joy after being able to get back to his passion - that's the power of fishing."
Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,112 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
