Place the XLR8 over Cortex (opposite side body damage) and then you may choose to laser over entire spine.
Start out conservatively and increase time as appropriate. A little laser therapy more often is a lot better than a lot, all at once. Repeat up to 1 - 4x-day.
Strokes are a condition where the practitioner can "just turn the laser on and get out of the way of the healing."
Most practitioners start with the general Upregulation setting, Brain Level 1 will get results; consistency of treatment is vital when dealing with strokes.
Activate pathways when the person is capable of using the muscle testing techniques taught in the Laser Essential Video and progress to the advanced muscle testing methods shown in the Advanced Laser Video series.
Refer to and use Alpha, Beta or Gamma Waves over the injured cortex.
The author prefers not to use Delta Waves (or even Theta waves) due to stroke victims already are slow due to an explosion of slow brain waves and an low amount of beta. But the wavelength and power output of Erchonia laser has proven very beneficial even when used with these or similar settings.
Perform activity such as grip, rubber band extensions, dexterity balls. You may need to start with the unaffected side and when possible the symptomatic side. Just holding a dexterity ball (without dropping) will be the first "active" option on severe symptomatic side.
VibePlate is the best initial modality to activate the nervous system of a stroke patient. Many options from a single foot/hand placement specific to the stroke or whole body vibration works great even if the person is sitting in a wheelchair. This is a fantastic help by itself but better with laser!
