I noticed all the people hustling and bustling about their lives. Effortlessly walking, talking and driving, thinking I personally know just how quick their lives can dramatically change! It is no wounder the lightning bolt is the international symbol for stroke. Stroke strikes that fast with cataclysmic results.
I was observing just how awesome the brain was! How your brain moves the body with such ease that you can't help but take it for granted. I know, I was one of them.
The brain is so amazing it can compensate for it's bodies flaws so we can function. Bad posture, broken foot, age.and much more.
I watch people walking that physically should not be, but our amazing brain tells the body to make the needed corrections so it can walk.
The devastating effect of stroke is it destroys the brains ability to communicate with the body. So now what?
I am currently learning the very basics of our amazing brains ability to re-wire and fully repair itself called Neuroplasticity.
That through only repetition of movement the brain can and will re-wire itself. Going around the effected or damaged area, making new pathways for neurons to travel on. The scientist all agree that there no easy way to cause neoplastic changes within our brains. The one and only way is through hard, work commitment and repetition.
You ask how long it takes to see results of Neurplasticity? That varies from stroke survivor to stroke survivor. The worse the damage the longer it takes.
Question, how many of us lost half our brain caused by stroke? None! Can the amazing plastic brain relearn with half of it gone? The answer is yes! See the YouTube video "The girl with half a brain. http://youtu.be/2MKNsI5CWoU
How does your stroke compare to the girl with half her brain?
There is proven hope stroke survivors!
