Thank you for the clear explanation. I have cut my wrist, whereby 8 tendons were ripped the ulnair nerve and an artery. I am doing excercies for 5 month now together with my occupational therapist. And use your video for mirror sessions. It works fantastic. If you have more mirror therapy sessions for my hand I would like to come in contact with it. Renée

[@Nobaki__ff]

Hi thanks for video is it useful to use mirror therapy during the third year post stroke

[@dianeculp8224]

I love your videos. What would be your best videos to do to strengthen my deltoid muscles. I had a stroke in October 2022 and I have muscle soreness in the front part of my left upper arm.

[@ryanp6575]

Never had a (diagnosed) stroke but i do deal with some muscle weakness and this felt nice. A bit sore in my arm, but nice over all

[@PollyHutchinson]

That looks like an excellent workout. Do you have any suggested adaptations for spastic hemiplegics? I can lift my arm to shoulder height with a bent elbow and can straighten my elbow with my arm at my side. I have passive range of motion to do the exercises but not active range of motion.

[@PostStrokeOrg]

Hey Polly! That's a great question. The shoulder exercises at the beginning can be done even with a bent elbow. It may be that you need to do them without weights, but shoulder muscles will still get a workout. There are some therapists who think the movement has to be "as normal as possible." But as long as you are pain free and moving slowly/safely, it's okay if the movement isn't perfect or looks exactly like what I'm doing. Does that help?

[@PollyHutchinson]

@@PostStrokeOrg thank you for explaining adaptive movements. I really like this video that shows stroke survivors doing movements that are appropriate for their level of function. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqPUkHidh7VpaZI

[@christianebergeron7069]

I need to clasps my hands together to do the arm strengthening is that okay - stroke pll6 weeks ago and left side not much strength or movement yet

[@cheshtaattri3097]

For shoulder abduction, my elbow bends, any guidance for that? Love your videos.

[@andyroon9676]

hard to hear with music :/

[@danbenzion]

According to my understanding, the entire injured body is one unit. There is no separation. My method is circular movements thousands of times until the tension of the head, neck, arms, legs, back is released, all circular movements thousands of times

[@alanaquestelles6110]

Hi, I'm new to your exercises but I cannot move my arms out to the side. How could I improve this. Thank you.
