I have this problem that I don't have enough strength in my hamstrings, so I start to walk more and more irregularly. My knee is not locked, I am definitely adding it to my daily routine. Thanks Tara, have a nice week.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for sharing John! I am so glad that you are finding these videos helpful. Keep going!

[@elizabethrash7370]

Thank you. Great variations on some of the hamstring exercises I do. I was wondering if you have past or will consider a future video on improving endurance? I’m not sure about other neurologic conditions, but muscle fatigue is a big challenge for MS. I add 15-30 sec. per week to my endurance exercises. I progress but it’s 🐌 slow going. Thanks!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Liz! This is an excellent topic! I will add this to the list. Might take some time as I am going to pull some studies specific to MS population :) I have a few that talk about HIIT, mito, and "general exercise". But I will try and find some more specific for endurance training. Feel free to email me anything you might find as well :)

[@dezmar7144]

Thank you for responding. Unfortunately, I only see “browse store”. And then hope socks. My vision is not good and I just don’t see it.

[@bahavamoss8372]

I am grateful. Thank you. Hurt my hamstring been in pain for 2 months. Could barely sleep. Once again. Thank you

[@Mystery.9]

Thank you so much, would you do exercises for lower leg muscles weakness please

[@mustafashakery1563]

Thank you Dr. Tara this was very helpful for me: as someone with moderate hamstring spacticity, I walk with a crouch gait with spastic hamstring and ankle dorsiflexion. And i hope you do more videos on flexion synyrgy pattern, I know it's not as common as extensor synyrgy pattern but I think other people will find it very beneficial as well. Thanks again

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for sharing! I will definitely at this to the list 😊

[@Sylphlet]

I'd like to see a video on flexion synergy patterns in the leg as well!

[@charissariggins]

Thanks!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thank you so much for your generosity!

[@edytar1347]

Thank you for video bc my knee is going into hyperextension bc of Ms and I really have weak and also I thought about walking on a treadmill to calm down my ataxia and do you think treadmill will help?

[@mshukdinas]

Dr. Tara, thank you for all of your videos. I am four months post stroke and enjoy watching them and they are helpful in addition to my regular therapy. Do you have any comment or thoughts on hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a means to help stroke recovery?

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for sharing Mike! Yes, I have some thoughts on HBOT :) I plan to make a video on this. Stay tuned!

[@mshukdinas]

Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Great question! If the AFO is articulated. I hope that helps!

[@pesto23]

I have knee hyperextension while walking, is it due to weak quad or weak hamstring ?

[@rehabhqofficial]

in some cases

[@dezmar7144]

[@kicknowledgesmith8608]

my leg always fall to the side when I get into a bridge position.

[@lazysleeper7174]

Can i recover 100%??

[@midnull6009]

Fun fact. Some of these exercises are even hard for healthy ppl to perform. Especially @4:13. In general ppl have horrible hip mobility. So ppl who are discouraged by these exercises and seem to be struggling. Don't.
