Here are 5 reasons to train your patients post-stroke in prone 👇
✔️ Promotes hip flexor lengthening → helps counter prolonged sitting + restore extension patterns
✔️ Facilitates weight-bearing through the involved shoulder → improves stability + proprioceptive input
✔️ Encourages posterior chain activation → glutes, spinal extensors, scapular stabilizers
✔️Supports postural drainage → assists with secretion clearance + respiratory function
✔️ Enhances trunk activation and symmetry → challenges core control in a gravity-dependent position
Bonus tip 💡
Add BlazePods with distracting colors to layer in:
→ visual scanning
→ attention to task
→ left neglect training
Now you’re not just working on positioning—you’re integrating cognition, vision, and movement all at once.
