QUICK TAKE: Arm Motor Recovery After Stroke

Stroke recovery can feel overwhelming for patients and their care partners, especially when trying to understand what actually helps the arm recover and the roles of various clinicians.

I created a simple, non-copyrighted, patient-education article for Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, written specifically for stroke survivors and their care partners.

This free resource breaks down essentials of arm recovery after stroke in clear, practical language, so patients and families can better understand what to expect, what’s possible, and how rehabilitation strategies and personnel support real-world function.

If you support someone on the recovery journey or you work with people who do. I hope this resource brings clarity, confidence, and hope.
