@@aprilvannewkirk8761 awesome!

@@kmrazSilverSimmer73 you’re welcome ☺️

It’s likely a low functioning left and anterior cerebellum. Practicing left turning VOR and up and down VOR combined with the board rocks shown here will help a LOT!

Glad it was helpful!

My pleasure!

Yes you can. Have been doing it so at an MS hospital 👌🏼

Do both! Up close and distance VOR work are two different skills in the brain 🧠

Awesome! Thank you!

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. My usual headphones stopped working right before this. I will get a new pair. I encourage you to try and sort your way through the distortion. The information is GOOD and effective.

So glad you’re here ❤

Practicing on both feet helps the brain LEARN how to relax and function with less protection and more control and efficiency. The good foot serves as a”role model” for the affected foot to help the affected side learn how to become less symptomatic

Absolutely! You’re still practicing the movement skill!

@@TheMSGym Great, thank you!

I wish had a definitive estimate for you. It depends on how quickly your brain will feel less threatened using your foot. The key is to stay consistent, practice daily, and don’t overwork yourself.

Us, excessive goes flexion can accompany foot drop. The day 1 releases and day 2 stretches will help!

I’m glad you’ve taken notes and set up a practice system for yourself. You can copy and post the notes here if you’d like.

@@TheMSGym MS GYM FOOT DROP Day 1 - release spasticity in the arch - plantar facia of both feet 45-90 second per region - release the muscles on the back of the leg with roller (underhand back of leg) or hands Day 2 - stretch calves 4 at 5 seconds 5th at 30 seconds Day 3 - resistance band long under ball of foot breath out and pull up Dorsey flexion for 3 then inhale push down x5 (lift for 3, hold for 3, push down for 3) then no bank tap toes same exercise for 5 per foot Day 4 - use resistance band if needed - go slowly - heal down Dorsey Flex externally rotate - breath out back down x10 - heal down Dorsiflex internally rotate - breath in back down - toes down heel up same thing - if ankle jumps go slower x10 Day 5 - push into ankle hold lift arch for 3 sec. x 10 - push into ankle push arch down for 3 sec. x 10

Yes, this is what I recommend to my MS Gym members! Good thinking 🤔

Yup, tender spots are what you want to release. I HIGHLY recommend using tools like a ball or roller or hand help massager or therapy gun.

Yes! Sitting is great to start to learn the movements. Once you feel like you have mastered the movement pattern you can perform the drills from day 3,4,5 up on your feet. Also, staggered squats, split squats, calf raises, and step ups can really help to preserve neural function and prevent foot drop. Stay tuned here as I will be doing more HIGH MOBILITY training sessions. I will show you how I train and counteract my symptoms.

Try these as a foot drop warm up with or without poles, work the knee bend to increase demand: kzbin.info/www/bejne/anvTlJtsp8ysrM0si=6a70GZzWKpkWP64D

Yes, that will help reduce adhesions and free up the facial sheaths. However go light and avoid a ton of capillary stress. You may want to use hands to release muscle before exercise and gua sha tool before bed.

I do not.

Your English is GREAT! 1. Use a rolling pin to release muscles in thigh. 2. Stretch thigh by sitting, bend knee as much as you can, move foot back behind you or lie on your side, bend knee, grab foot or place a strap around your ankle and grab that. Pull heel toward hamstring and stretch quadricep muscle. 3. Try this drill: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hH-canahebmreLMsi=AmbcyLI8oaqc6c-U

So glad you are here! I have covered elbow drills that have helped me with my painful elbows. A good strategy: 1. Release muscle belly around inside and outside of elbow. 2. Slowly rotate elbow in slow circles 10-15 times each direction. 3. Work on pronation and supination of elbow using a light weight .5- 1lb. (Rotate weight to inside and outside SLOWLY)

@@TheMSGym Thank you, Coach! I will do these!

It’s can be challenging to pin point the cause as often it is a combination of spasticity and flaccidity. However, generally speaking, if you feel your low leg, foot, and ankle “lock up” and become super stiff like a cramp- that’s spasticity. If your foot just hangs or flops- that’s more flaccidity or weakness. The recovery approach is the same ❤

You’re welcome. Glad you are here ❤

That is likely a neurological threat response and completely common. It does not mean it is making anything worse- it’s actually showing you where your weak link is in your movement patterns. You’re not injuries g yourself. I would not avoid the drill but modify. Only do 2-3 reps at a time very slow - almost slow motion. The speed I was demonstrating is likely too fast for your brain right now. Slow things down, do a smaller range of motion, and breathe slowly as your practice. This will reduce the threat and likely reduce that swelling response.

I would avoid this while driving. You need to focus on the road 😂. Practice in a safe environment where you can fully focus on the movement. Otherwise, your brain could associate this movement as a threat and further restrict your ankle:

Could you clarify your comment?
