[@rehabhqofficial]

Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!

[@newatthis50]

Just found your channel. My problem is pelvic instability causing most of these problems. This is the best information I've seen yet!!

[@zitaorosz1975]

Thank you so much for this video . I had fun doing the exercise , and of course finding out that I am already on the advanced level gave me my self confidence an additional boost.

[@rehabhqofficial]

IMO this is one of the best exercises on this channel. So I hope you keep it up. And yes, this is an advanced exercises so you are definitely on the right track :)

[@wendyoloff5944]

Thank you for these great exercises! Back to basics for me.

[@lynnecameron6645]

Thank you. I had a go at these this morning. They really do target the problem for me. I’ll definitely need more practice at the clam position before I let go of the table!

[@diannederry5487]

Thank you I did this exercise today and will do it every day to improve my walking 😊

[@zitaorosz1975]

I believe that crawling on the floor is also a great addition to this exercise.

[@MiniFrenchAdventures]

Thanks. Your video is so valuable

[@anastasiademeritte8532]

Thank yo Dr. this one really hit an effected spot I needed to gain control with. Kneeling felt safe and it help with the numb feeling I had on the left side hip area. Thanks feel like something woke up.

[@rehabhqofficial]

That is the exact response I hope for when I do this with my patients! I am so glad it helped you :)

[@ERAragon707]

This is the first video I've been able to do in its entirety!!! I'm so glad I found it, as I had a baclofen pump placed in January, and due to complications (long story), i've been having trouble stretching, which is a must for severe spasticity, especially when it's gonna be a while till we get my titration dose right and I've been feeling like the spasticity's worsening since surgery!!! (It's that bad!🥴) Thank you so much for all you do for us!!!🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼

[@rebeccathompson7137]

Excellent this is were I'm at in therapy I haven't walked by myself in 2yrs due to polymyositis muscle weakness 100%, the struggle is real. But I'm making my way out of the pit daily excerise it's great building muscles. Thank you

[@evonparkinson651]

Thanks this is a position that I practice by instinct so happy to know that I am doing something right

[@simonquintana1662]

I’ve been fitted with AFO for splastic left ankle. I like your exercise techniques to stretch muscles of lower leg. The AFO is helping me walk. I’d love to get to point I can go with out it of course thanks

[@kbcamino7693]

I have a young patient (20) who I’m trying to get into a tall kneeling position. I was able to today, but even though he has the strength to do it, he has a difficult time following. Any words of wisdom or further activities to work his core as well as strengthening his left LE would be greatly appreciated. Been at this a while (also 20 years) but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes makes all the difference!

[@juliustorralba8506]

[@rehabhqofficial]

WOW!! "Half a fire hydrant" is a great start. This is a hard one. Especially lifting the uninvolved leg out to the side while putting all the weight on the involved leg. GREAT JOB!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Mark, hello from America :) Thank you so much for sharing!! I am so happy to read that you find this video helpful! Also, spending time on your stomach is another great way to stretch the psoas. Here is a video that might help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6ulmGOma6yhj68. I made this video for arm weight bearing but it will also helps to stretch the psoas. Especially if you spend a lot of time sitting during the day. I hope it helps. Stay safe!

[@shawnjbray]

My ankle is mostly locked up all together. I’ve fixed it greatly from stretching as much as I have, but I’ve improved my strength to lift my dropfoot so slowly, from trying to walk heel toe every time I walk.

[@truthvsdare]

Your voice and method of explaining is impeccable. Really appreciate it. The question I have for you is that, mostly stroke pateint is an elderly person, and knee pain is one of the most common complain in every second person at this age. So I want to know that if kneeling down like this is not possible for them, what can be the best alternative for achieving these effects without bothering the pateint... ?

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching! That is an excellent question. I have lots of leg exercises that will help you. Check out the playlist to find the best videos for you :)

[@1973pokegama]

I had a 9-disk 2si joint surgery 5 months ago and it is like my brain and legs aren't working together. I can not walk without Trek Poles. I am trying these because I am frustrated. I had a 5-disk lumbar fusion in Nov 2020, a knee replaced in Nov 2021 and the 2020 fusion chiseled out and replaced plus 4 added lumbar fusion as well as 2si joint surgery in Dec 2022. I walk good with Poles, but alone, certain parts of my body are weaker than other parts and I am unable to walk. I am trying these because the things you talk about fit the way my body is working. Thank you!

HOW TO GET LEFT KNEE TO BEND WHEN WALKING??❤

[@jeanettehorend1450]

Thanks so much for your videos, they are invaluable. I wonder if you have any ideas about my predicament. My unaffected leg seems to be imitating my affected leg when I walk. I walk without a cane. My issue seems to be a lack of confidence in putting my full weight onto my affected foot. I feel that my affected leg is trying to copy the affected one and not doing performing of it’s own accord. I don’t know if this makes sense or whether I just need to keep practising but it is worrying me. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.

Hello I have question baclofen help with plasticity du you recommended

[@rehabhqofficial]

Plasticity? or Spasticity? It definitely helps with spasticity but it is temporary so to help with "plasticity" I highly recommend you do this in conjunction with therapy. When the baclofen is "effective" it might decrease the resistance when attempting to relearn the "opposing movement". I hope that makes sense.

[@ryancameron3681]

Solutions to tingling on plantar surface of foot while in the tall kneeling position? Thanks!

[@rehabhqofficial]

hmm, if this is only happening when in tall kneeling, you might want to try a softer surface. If that does not solve the tingling, I may suggest you work with a physical therapist to see what is causing that. My first thought is that you are putting pressure on a nerve.
