Stroke Survivor Stories: Meet Jim

Hello my name is Jim.

I had a blood clot in my brain that caused a stroke on March 17 of 2018.

In the hospital that night I had another one and in the morning I was 100% paralyzed. I could not move my left arm, could not move my left leg. The whole left side of my face was drooped down, no control – no anything.

That was approximately 16 months ago.

Overcoming Stroke Through Neuroplasticity

Last summer I purchased the FitMi product from FlintRehab, knowing that with neuroplasticity repetition is the key and that is a product that definitely helps me to get as many repetitions in as possible in a session of rehab at home.

I still do outpatient but knowing that’s only a couple hours a week, that I have to do as much as I can on my own.

And I think having a good product at home allows me to get those repetitions in.

If someone is looking at purchasing a Flint Rehab product, I would say find something that allows you to do the rehab at home with as many reps as possible and allows you to stay motivated and work hard because that’s what it takes.

Your brain learns from every repetition and the more you do the more you recover.

I’m still recovering to this day and it’s still working.

I wish you the best of luck – thank you.

You’re Really on a Roll! See how Jerry is regaining movement with FitMi home therapy

My husband is getting better and better!

“My name is Monica Davis but the person who is using the FitMi is my husband, Jerry. I first came across FitMi on Facebook. I pondered it for nearly a year. In that time, he had PT, OT and Speech therapy, as well as vision therapy.

I got a little more serious about ordering the FitMi when that all ended 7 months after his stroke. I wish I hadn’t waited to order it. He enjoys it and it is quite a workout!

He loves it when he levels up and gets WOO HOOs! It is a wonderful product! His stroke has affected his left side. Quick medical attention, therapy and FitMi have helped him tremendously!”

Monica & Jerry’s FitMi review

What are these “WOO HOOs” about?

FitMi is like your own personal therapist encouraging you to accomplish the high repetition of exercise needed to improve.

When you beat your high score or unlock a new exercise, FitMi provides a little “woo hoo!” as auditory feedback. It’s oddly satisfying and helps motivate you to keep up the great work.

In Jerry’s photo below, you can see him with the FitMi pucks below his feet for one of the leg exercises:

FitMi is beloved by survivors and used in America’s top rehab clinics

Many therapists recommend using FitMi at home between outpatient therapy visits and they are amazed by how much faster patients improve when using it.

It’s no surprise why over 14,000 OTs voted for FitMi as “Best of Show” at the annual AOTA conference; and why the #1 rehabilitation hospital in America, Shirley Ryan Ability Lab, uses FitMi with their patients.

This award-winning home therapy device is the perfect way to continue recovery from home. Read more stories and reviews by clicking the button below:
