Mancala: The Perfect Board Game for Stroke Survivors
How Mancala Helped Me in Stroke Recovery
Board games can be a challenging, effective, and fun complement to routine physical therapy for stroke survivors.
Mancala, a simple two-player strategy game that involves moving gemstones around a board, quickly became a favorite of mine in the early weeks and months after stroke.
In my latest blog post, I discuss how I learned about Mancala and describe why it’s been an important part of my efforts to regain full function of my stroke-affected left hand.
Living Life After Stroke
In the past, I’ve shared insights on how “Knees Over Toes” helped me to stop limping after stroke, how Yoga Nidra helps with the neuro-fatigue in stroke recovery, and more stories from recovery after stroke.
