Year 2021 now.. I noticed that my left arm was not lifting up since I did this exercise. It is much more flexible and soft. It works! Thank you Dr. Tara tobias #strokearm My 2021 goal is to strengthen my arm more and get rid of the spasticity. Is it possible Dr. Tara? Thanks

Suffered a stroke almost 30 years ago at 23 y/o. Massive lower extremity orthopedic injuries kept me from full rehab activities. Recently had last orthopedic corrective surgery. Still working to correct improper movement patterns. Stretching my ankle to overcome plantar flexion. Standing on angled board for 60 minutes each morning. Doctors told me in 1993 after 12 months post stroke whatever I had was what I would live with…..NOT TRUE folks. I’m 52 y/o and seeing improvements constantly, the more I work on it the better I get. Dr. Tobias you are spot on and I appreciate your videos.

[@joseburgos5106]

As a Caregiver I want to thank you so much because I understand better and I have been sharing your videos to my wife that got a stroke a year ago. My biggest challenge is how to motivate her to so stuff as her initiative is not 100 there yet and I am only one 24/7. I want it to ask you if you could share anything on electrodes. Saebo mention the Sensory Electrode Stimulation. There is Funtional Electrode Stimulation like Bioness. And TEEN that it is used my understanding is more to block pain. And the Electro Muscle Stimulation. And again, thank so much. When we get better and I want to thank you personally. Or maybe we do something to sharp her skills at your clinic.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thank you for watching! I am glad they are helping. You are correct TENS is more for pain and generally speaking a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is more geared toward "activating" a muscle. It has to do with the wave form. That being said, Saebo and bioness are most likely always going to be the NMES waveform. I hope that helps.

[@jenniferwu2731]

Can you make a progression on regaining elbow movement? My goal for progression is elbow extension 1. with gravity (downward), 2. level with gravity (horizontally (like pushing a cane), 3. against gravity. Any thoughts?

[@sigridomeara5658]

my arm is really dense after my stroke and the physios dont seem to have too much hope that I will regain movement . it is in a sling every day because the shoulder is subluxed and i have no pain in it, yet the physio said at my last visit it is a given that my arm will get painful further down the line which I found incredibly defeatist. so I have decided that I will follow the videos as much as I am able and try to beat the odds and regain as much function as I can. is that a reasonable goal? I am 5 month post hemorrhagic stroke and am walking again even though I was not given much hope. which videos should I concentrate the most on?
