Stroke: Repetitive motions working on the are where weakness exists will help. Be aware that depression and the loss of effort and or hope can be detrimental for recovery. Repetitive efforts to use the neural circuits which have been damaged however although frustrating can be quite helpful.

Many : If there is paralysis, it helps to immobilize the unaffected side to encourage new connections on the affected side. It is important to passively move any muscles that are not able to move and increase movements of muscles that are weak. Check vit d3 and restore to healthy levels. Lower stress and eat an anti-inflammatory diet with good anti-oxidants.
