Tried it today with my dad and definitely helped with his external rotation! We’ll be doing this and graduating him to the cane and then nothing in no time! I’ll be checking back in to let you know about his progress

[@roangrasshopper]

Great advice, I will try all these. I had a stroke the end of this May 2017. Done in my right side. Speech came back fairly soon, 1-2 months. I pray I walk again and soon. I will be 70 this October. I may be an older gal but I am not ready to give up on life...LOLThanks, Darlene

Hi guys. I just subscribed. I am a PTA in PA. I am presently doing homecare but spent the last decade of my career in SNF's.Your videos gave me some new ideas for stroke rehab. Also, the theraband wrapping is quite similar to using TheraTogs in pediatrics. Thanks for the videos!

[@pyma5042]

Love the idea with the theraband, thanks!!

[@redpill_bluepill]

Love the elastic band solution! Ingenious and simple! Kudos to both of you and I will show it to my physiotherapists that your KISS and brilliant solution to a complex problem. Love it! There is a reason why you guys are the most famous because you guys are more than just professionals. You guys set the bar for the rest of the physiotherapists. I chancecupon this video and I'm totally amazed by the solutions that you guys came up with. You guys have my fullest respect. Thank you very much, and as a recent stroke patient. I appreciate the solutions even more as I plan to incorporate it into my routine.

Bob, Brad, I'm a physical therapist and I adore you! thank you for sharing great ideas with the world.

[@virtuosoproductions4589]

Having suffered a major stroke after a surgery to my carotid artery, I walked slowly on an indoor track for about three years 3 times a week clocking enough mileage to cover italy from north to south. I have recovered enough to walk without a cane. It's still not perfect, but it's getting close. You need millions of steps to make enough changes to your brain. But, it does work eventually, slow maybe, but there's no need to get discouraged. Keep moving safely. No movement is bad. As long as it's safe.

[@windyunoes2037]

Reading your review today, made me enthusiastic again about being able to recover from a stroke, weakness on the left side of my body and I am happy to know the development and progress of your condition.

[@crisbondoc7966]

Thank you for this video

[@BKNAM]

Thank you for your videos. I suffered a major stroke back in February of 2019 that left me paralyzed on the left side of my body. I was doing PT Twice a week and then my insurance expired and I was left without my therapy. Since then I have been trying to keep my exercises going on my own. It's been difficult for me to get my mobilization back and motivation to do it myself. I walk with a cane and walk slowly but I want to make more progress and get semi normalcy back with my walking. Thank you again for your videos.

[@lespangen]

Me too: also left side what’s deceiving about this demo is right side supposedly affected but they use right arm?(at beginning)I can walk with a cane but can’t use a walker one-handed but this might be helpful to those who can manage a walker 🙏for everyone’s successful recovery

I had a stroke (it will be 3 years in October 27) I was 27 years old. I am beyond grateful I have almost 100% recovery with my arm but I have drop foot. My ankle is weak and I find myself rolling my ankle quite frequently. I have a AFO but I dont like wearing it. I do not have health insurance so I am unable to do physical therapy. Your videos give me hope that I can make a full recovery. Thank you guys!

I didn't have a stroke, but due to nerve issues in my legs due to spinal stenosis I was bed bound for seven months. The nerve issues have subsided but I was left with atrophied legs. I can't find any videos for my situation so I'm having to watch any video I can find about strengthening weak legs.

I'm not sure if y'all reply, but it's worth a try! PTA student here, and we're just now starting on strokes. When you're doing the technique around the 5 minute mark where you help the hip move forward, is that basically the same thing NDT or muscular facilitation?

Hey Physical Therapy dudes. I was wondering what can I do to help with my neck pain. It's on the back on neck around the upper part area where the spine and skull meet. It hurts when I protract my scapula. So like when I put my arm in front of me and I protract I get that neck pain like when I do Lat Pulldowns or any chest press movements. I'm not sure if it could be my thoracic nerve but it hurts. Basically if my arms are in front and I shrug my shoulders forward I get that pain. It's been bothering me for awhile.
