How ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® Help with Stroke Recovery

A stroke can cause loss of movement, coordination, speech difficulties, and cognitive impairments due to damage to the brain’s neural pathways. Traditional stroke rehabilitation often focuses on strength training and repetitive exercises, but ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® take a neuroplasticity-based approach, helping the brain reorganize itself and find new ways to restore function.
By using gentle, exploratory movements, these methods stimulate brain recovery, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life after a stroke.

How ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® Support Stroke Recovery

  • 1. Activates Neuroplasticity & Brain Rewiring
    A stroke disrupts neural connections, limiting movement and function. 

    ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® use slow, non-forceful movements to stimulate the brain’s ability to create new pathways and restore lost functions.

  • 2. Restores Movement & Coordination
    Stroke survivors often experience paralysis, weakness, or uncoordinated movements on one side of the body.These methods teach the brain to explore new, efficient movement strategies, leading to greater balance, control, and mobility.
  • 3. Improves Sensory Awareness & Body Control
    Many stroke survivors struggle with numbness, lack of body awareness, or spatial perception issues.ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® help retrain the brain to better sense and control movement, reducing awkward or compensatory motion patterns.
  • 4. Enhances Speech & Cognitive Function

    Stroke can impair speech, memory, and problem-solving skills due to brain damage.

    By improving movement organization and brain processing, these methods can enhance verbal communication, mental clarity, and cognitive flexibility.

    5. Supports Emotional & Psychological Recovery

    Many stroke survivors experience frustration, depression, and anxiety due to their physical limitations.

    These gentle methods reduce stress, build confidence, and create a sense of progress through engaging and enjoyable movements.

    6. Provides a Gentle & Non-Invasive Approach

    Unlike traditional therapies that may involve strenuous exercises or repetitive drills, ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® focus on natural movement exploration, making recovery less stressful and more effective.

How ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® Differ from Traditional Stroke Rehabilitation

  • Traditional Stroke Rehabilitation
  • Focuses on rebuilding muscle strength
  • Uses forced repetition of lost movements
  • May rely on external devices (braces, walkers)
  • Targets specific movement impairments
  • ABM® NeuroMovement® & JKA®
  • Focuses on brain function & movement learning
  • Uses gentle, explorative movements to restore function
  • Encourages natural recovery & body awareness
  • Helps the brain reorganize for full-body integration

Benefits of ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® for Stroke Recovery

Greater ease in movement & coordination
Increased sensory awareness & control
Improved balance & posture
Reduction of compensatory movements
Better speech and cognitive function
Enhanced emotional well-being & confidence

Final Thoughts

ABM® NeuroMovement® and JKA® provide a brain-based, gentle, and effective approach to stroke recovery. Instead of focusing only on muscle training, these methods help the brain reconnect and restore function naturally, leading to greater mobility, confidence, and independence.
