Jaye Rose’s Story

Stroke

Jaye Rose experienced a stroke in May 2024, affecting the left side of her body.

Due to the area of her brain affected, Jaye Rose developed Pusher Syndrome. This condition can cause a person to push towards their weaker side, despite experiencing weakness there, making sitting, standing and walking particularly challenging.

Jaye Rose began attending MOTIONrehab to work towards greater safety, confidence and independence in her movement.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Following her stroke, Jaye Rose experienced difficulties with posture, balance and control on her left side.

Pusher Syndrome affected the way she positioned and supported her body, making it difficult to maintain a stable sitting or standing position. It also created additional challenges when attempting to step and walk.

Jaye Rose’s rehabilitation programme has been tailored to her individual needs and focused on retraining her posture, balance and awareness of the left side of her body.

Her immediate goals were to stand and step safely with an aid, enabling her to complete more independent transfers to a chair.

Her main longer-term goal is to walk independently.

Jaye Rose’s Rehabilitation Programme

A key part of Jaye Rose’s rehabilitation has involved helping her develop a more balanced and controlled posture.

Her sessions have focused on improving the way she distributes her weight, increasing her confidence when standing and encouraging more active use of her left leg.

Jaye Rose has also completed repeated stepping and walking practice to help improve her coordination, balance and control.

By practising these movements consistently, she is working to reinforce safer and more effective movement patterns that can support everyday activities such as standing, transferring and walking.

Using the LEXO Robotic Gait Trainer

Jaye Rose uses the LEXO Robotic Gait Trainer as part of her rehabilitation programme.

The LEXO allows her to complete a high number of robotic-assisted walking movements in a safe and supported environment.

During each session, the system guides Jaye Rose’s left leg through a more natural stepping pattern. This provides consistent feedback about where and how her leg should move. The Lexo also facilitates the natural weight shift between the right and left leg when stepping. This helps re-educate her movement and minimise her Pusher Syndrome.

The repeated stepping movements help her work on posture, balance, coordination and the timing of each step.

This high-repetition practice also supports neuroplasticity, helping the brain create and strengthen the pathways involved in standing and walking.

Jaye Rose’s Progress

Jaye Rose has made encouraging progress throughout her rehabilitation.

Her walking practice has progressed from using fixed support to walking with a frame. This has increased the physical challenge while continuing to provide the support she needs to practise safely.

Jaye Rose is now demonstrating stronger and more controlled stepping with her left leg.

She has also improved the amount of weight she can place through her left side, supporting better balance and stability during standing and walking activities.

Her confidence when standing has increased, and she has successfully progressed to using a moving walking aid.

These improvements are important steps towards safer transfers, greater mobility and her longer-term goal of independent walking.

Continuing Jaye Rose’s Rehabilitation Journey

Jaye Rose will continue working on her balance, posture, stepping and ability to place weight through her left side.

Her rehabilitation will focus on reducing the level of support she needs while helping her develop greater control and confidence during standing and walking.

Jaye Rose’s story demonstrates how specialist neurological rehabilitation and advanced technology can support meaningful progress following a stroke.

Through regular practice, tailored support and her own determination, Jaye Rose continues to move closer to greater independence.
