FAME – Fitness and Mobility Exercise

This one has only been out for a year so give your stroke medical professionals some slack if they haven't implemented this yet
FAME – http://neurorehab.med.ubc.ca/fame
FAME is a community-based exercise program developed for people with stroke who have some standing and walking ability.  We showed that this program improved mobility, cardiovascular fitness, arm and hand function.  A physical therapist or occupational therapist instructed the patient in the program, but the patient did the program independently.  It is important to note that better outcomes are achieved if the patient has family, friends or a caregiver who can assist with the program.
This manual has been prepared based on current scientific evidence. Health and medical knowledge is constantly changing. It is the responsibility of the practitioner or exercise instructor, relying on experience and knowledge of the client, to determine the appropriate treatment for each individual.
