Using a walking frame? Step into it rather than pushing it far ahead. To stand up, push from the chair arms instead of pulling on the frame, unless your physio advises otherwise.

Doing balance exercises at home? Hold a sturdy chair or a fixed worktop, never a chair on wheels, a wobbly table or a towel rail. Ask your physio what support suits you.

UK clocks go back on Sunday 25 October. Before the darker evenings, check lamps, plug-in night lights and outside lights work, and try to plan walking practice in daylight.

Recovering from Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is often slow. Building up gradually, pacing your day and avoiding overdoing it may help some people. Worsening weakness or trouble breathing? Call 999.

Carers: after a brain injury, some people get frustrated or irritable more easily. Staying calm, lowering noise, keeping a routine and stepping away when needed may help. Tell the GP or rehab team.

Painful or numb feet, long nails and loose slippers can make walking less steady. Check your feet, wear shoes with a back and a grippy sole, and ask your GP about podiatry if you need help.

Leg and foot swelling is common after spinal cord injury. Raising legs as advised, changing position and checking straps and skin may help. One leg suddenly swollen, warm or red? Get advice the same day.

[Rehab Corner @RehabCorner]

With MS, the right walking aid may save energy and help you stay active. Holding furniture, more trips or going out less? Mention it to your physio, who can assess the type and height for you.

Parkinson’s can make dressing slow and tiring. Sitting down, laying clothes out in order, easier fastenings and dressing when medication works well may help some people. An OT can suggest aids.

After a stroke, an arm or leg may have less feeling, so heat or knocks can go unnoticed. Test bath water with the stronger hand, keep the limb in view and check skin daily. New numbness? Call 999.

Using a walking stick? Many people are advised to hold it in the hand opposite the weaker or painful leg, so they move together. Ask your physio which side and height suit you.

No need to rush for the door or phone. Callers can wait or ring back. Keeping a phone in a pocket or bag may help you avoid hurrying and tripping.

Pets can get underfoot. Check where they are before you stand or walk, keep bowls, beds and toys out of walkways, and take extra care at feeding time.

FND (functional neurological disorder) is real and common: the nervous system has trouble sending and receiving signals. Support including physio may help some people. New symptoms? See your doctor.

Carers: coughing with drinks, a wet or gurgly voice or repeat chest infections can be signs of swallowing problems. Sit upright for meals, go slowly and ask the GP about a speech and language therapy check.

Worried about falling? Doing less can weaken muscles and balance. Talking about it, small goals and practising near support may help some people rebuild confidence. Ask your physio about safe exercises.

Some spinal cord injuries, especially higher ones, weaken breathing and cough muscles. Breathing exercises and assisted cough, as taught by your team, may help some people. Fever or more breathless? Get advice promptly.

#SCI

[Rehab Corner @RehabCorner]

MS can affect memory and concentration (‘cog fog’), often more when tired or hot. One task at a time, lists, phone reminders and planned rests may help some people. Tell your MS team about changes.

Parkinson’s can make handwriting smaller and cramped. Thinking ‘big letters’, lined paper, a thicker pen and short breaks may help some people. An OT can suggest more ideas.

Stairs after a stroke: many people are taught ‘up with the stronger leg, down with the weaker leg’, one step at a time with the rail. Practise stairs only once your physio has shown you how.
