Can you videos on a bilateral stroke Am a 2year stroke survivor I can't get out of bed by myself, I can't stand up by myself Currently, I can now walk, holding to things
Comment from : @Charlenejere

Hi Dr Tara, one thing I do is bounce a basket ball for a while About every 3rd bounce i use my stroke hand Also walking while bouncing i think my walking improves because I'm more focused on the bouncing, so the walking is reactive/reflexive Not really sure, but its fun especially while watching a basketball game Thank you for all your help
Comment from : @richsadventures1889

yes you may fall, but it is good the more you walk even if its in circles repetition to improve muscle memory in the weak leg stop trying to giveur advice to something that is working on people
Comment from : @Woof-Woof-Woof-rm9tz

I had a stroke 3 months ago and I can walk Get out of the therapy hospital the kids working there are students and not certified My advice go home wash dishes, clean your house, tie you shoe laces,take a shower by yourself, walk back and forth in your homeEach week I got better by myself
Comment from : @skylarwong2702

Comment from : @SherwinAlcantara-o8w

All they did was throw me on a treadmill everyday I hated it I only ever got like 2,000 steps anyway
Comment from : @sandra18097

Is that with your good arm or weak arm , the kettle bells
Comment from : @AllanGiles-m9s

Yes you are right, going to PT has been a big waste of my time I find your videos very valuable
Comment from : @JanetSisk-jz2ib

Nice video 🙏
Comment from : @ramakantvadje9216

I respect your opinion brMore than any other doctor or physiotherapist in the medical system in New Zealand this video is very relevant to the inadequacies in New Zealand medical system be great if you could send this video to all the hospitals and physiotherapists in New Zealand
Comment from : @CharlesKing-mr3wc

Believe in yourself, believe, turn your hand with a barbell in all directions, turn your head, your leg, turn everything slowly, gently, turns while standing, lying on a treatment bed, while sitting on a chair, bending, turning your hand, and with God's help, victory will come!

i DO MORE WEIGHTS ON THE STRONG LEG AND LIFTING LEG UP NO BIKES UNLESS i ASK THEM FOR BIKE JUST LUNGING
Comment from : @mikedayitt

No the majority of the time my therapist begins with an array of chastising me and discouraging me? yes i said it Sorry not sorry
Comment from : @RaulRuiz-oh2et

With having a stroke and a temporary treatment needed how much walking is necessary for the healing process
Comment from : @Daniel-uo8ee

This is such a rich informative video for those who appreciate it! I'm definitely sharing itbrbrHowever I don't know if this applies to spasticity from general dystonia?
Comment from : @FullTimePatient37

Comment from : @NorieEvasco

Thanks very much for your advice I already had a weak left leg before stroke affected same part I just started walking after about 3 months I thought a lot of walking will improve it but I will slow down when my therapist isn't around?
Comment from : @jacobkwameeduful1178

Unsinn wenn man sich nicht bewegen kann
Comment from : @monikabochmann2792

Comment from : @oicamladnoeled2901

Comment from : @karencook5174

My Pt encouraged me to walk more solo but it made mYbr walking worse, unsupervised my quality dropped and I fell twice destroying my confidence
Comment from : @lizarddronedude3617

DEEP! Facilitation and compensation!!! 5:55
Comment from : @eyesurvivedmyself

Thank you for this video my question my husband has had a stroke with left side impairment how do I know which exercise is good for him? He also has right shoulder pain and he cannot extend his arms that far up either arm There is no grasping his fingers on the left or the right side He’s also been told he has congestive heart failure at the end stage, so what kind of exercises would be good for him if PT is to continue with home health what would be the best things? I hope that you get this message and somebody could leave a comment 2 to 4 hour reply

Comment from : @DeMarioEsposito

Thank you for adding to "my bag" of tools to use every day I now construct my daily exercise routine, after I return home from my morning walk My leg has recovered down to my ankle and my foot, toes, and ankle are all mildly spastic and negatively impact my confidence when placing my affected foot on the groundbrbrGod bless you and please keep up these informative, inspirational videos that I reference daily I am going to walk again the way I did prior to my cva
Comment from : @charleseddy6545

your rehab website is down I think? i cannot access it
Comment from : @ruthilano4737

I can ride a bike, no problem Therapylifting weightscan do Walking I think my spine has shifted in some way Spasms or spasticity won't allow me to stop walking without a limp let alone drag the affected leg One side of my hip is offset higher on one side
Comment from : @yusufibraham383

I have had a stroke 2 1/2 months ago and rehabbed at home Your videos are a great help People are amazed at my progress
Comment from : @JeffWallace-yc4mc

My wife and I do decent amount of walking but we always focus and good quality steps and positioning cause that's what your brain will learn Minimising the lasting effects of having bad form and later causing using "cheat" ways to just get it done

Comment from : @Freedom-x4u

Comment from : @carmelrajkumar4822

Dr Tara I was on a bike both with PT and using ahraltg club Holding with the affected hand was problematic I started HIIT IN MY SUBDIVISION USING TELEPHONE POLES I’d walk a distance briskly, the next was leisurely Using a quad cane Felt like a walking stick would be better (eagle scout) So now I use Nordic poles on my path Should increase cardio and work out my neglect Enjoy your videos At some point I’ll work out each challenge (Reading a book on contracts 😂😂

Comment from : @richardfrancisco4376

I totally agree with your theory on compensation and how it affects the strong side of the body
Comment from : @barehope

I quit physical therapy because I never saw improvement in my walking technique I’m still walking incorrectly without improving the way I walk After walking 10 steps my left hip hurts
Comment from : @barehope

Great issue
Comment from : @lindadaly7602

Good lady Thank you for this series I fell in 2016 resulting in an undetectable brain aneurism I began having seizures and convulsions followed by a stroke I was hopeless at first as my legs were too weak for me to walk but I willed myself into doing research like this video and devised my own plan I have most of my mobility back but I walk with a gait that I am very self conscious about My left hand looks like a claw: Advice please? This has been horrible for my self esteem I wear 2 braces interchangeably and they relax my hand and I definitely have feeling there Any advice is appreciated There is a whole sub set of people who don’t have access to therapy at a facility so thank you kindly for this series😃😄😁brCJMP

There is a heinz variety of opinions about PT
Comment from : @lindalai9092

Physical therapy is a joke/scam
Comment from : @lindalai9092

I feel like I've plateaued and have developed bad habits when walking (particularly hyperextension) - i have issues with glute, Quad weakness)and I can feel how I compensate with my good side ALL the timeim fairly independent and I have no idea how to cut out or stop these habits I dont know how to change this pattern without stopping walking altogether (which is impossible in my life) and just exercise- work on isolated movements, muscle re-education and all that How am I ever going to retrain myself if I have to walk every single day repeating the bad habits over and over again I'm so confused
Comment from : @84naners

I want to stop out patient therapy, but they push me farther than I would go on my own I need that
Comment from : @aunteeteen7363

Inpatient therapy taught me to ride the bike correctly My foot is still strapped to pedal after 5 months but it is getting better in outpatient therapy Thank you for expanding on my therapy
Comment from : @aunteeteen7363

Way too much talking for people with a brain injury Get to the point you want to make
Comment from : @kevinacker4942

I've been to a couple rehab facilities and it's mostly been a joke you pay for rehab and you get tv watching half of the time
Comment from : @cjnthn

Bravo! Great video
Comment from : @randyk7699

Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Comment from : @sbenjapong

Thanks Tara, I experienced that in one of the "best places" for my loved one Survivor Now, we are in a different place and they are more about the quality move And you are correct, those experiences other than just walking are paying off I am a witness myself
Comment from : @joseburgos5106

I am 12 years post stroke and just found your extremely useful video's How I wish I found you years ago The left side of my body was greatly affected and I had to learn to walk again Sadly, though, I was left with drop-foot in my left foot Because of the drop foot, walking is somewhat difficult I can walk without an aid, but am not confident If I have to walk any distance, I use walking poles to avoid falling when the toes on my left foot do not fully lift My left arm does not fully raise either However, I started ballroom dance 5 years ago and it has been tremendously beneficial My entire body and my balance is greatly improved Taking forward steps is a bit scary, but people often say they had no idea I had left side weakness In my experience, ballroom dance for stroke rehabilitation has provided the very best rehab Do you have any recommendations for improving - "eliminating" - my drop foot?
