Loss of motricity including partial or complete paralysis, one of the most common disabilities resulting from stroke, is caused by the loss of control of the brain over parts of your body.

Without its supervision, your muscles do not move, or only chaotically. It is quite common to have partial hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body) or some spasticity (uncontrolled contractures of limbs).

Why are you having motricity problems?

Neurological functions are those mediated by our brain and nerves; they are essential for daily activities such as walking, dressing or grasping objects.

After a brain stroke, the brain impairment results into disruption of the information processing and transmission through the nervous system; which translates into a loss of walking abilities or motricity troubles: spasticity, hemiplegia, local paralysis (leg, arm, finger, toe or face paralysis), ataxia…

Motor damage not only affects your professional life, but your daily activities as well. Many stroke victims lose their independence as they need help to move, get dressed or eat.

How to recover your motor abilities after a stroke?

The goal of physical therapy is to regain some independence. Physical therapy is a long and intense process, with daily exercises to increase strength and endurance. Stroke rehabilitation is essential to have you use affected limbs you would otherwise neglect.

One of the key neurological processes supporting post stroke rehabilitation within the brain is its capacity to reorganize healthy neurons network to form new information circuits. This process is called Neuroplasticity.

NeuroAiD™ has been shown to boost the production of new neurons in the brain (neurogenesis) and to favour the connections between neurons (formation of synapses). These processes create a fertile brain environment for motor recovery.

What can you expect from NeuroAiD™ stroke treatment?

After one month of treatment, patients observed during the clinical trials regained on average a further 25% of their motor functions and achieved 2.4 times more independence than patients not receiving NeuroAiD™.
