[@BongekaNgobese391]

Hi. How are you now ?

[@aixinghan6021]

Thank you Nathan for this exercise. I had stroke 3 1/2 years ago and my left arm is still very stiff. I am so glad that I found you. I have been using all of your videos to do my daily exercise. Your exercise is very informative and easy to follow. I am still fighting for my recovery. As you said “ Be Consistency” and “Never Give Up”. I appreciate and respect your dedication Nathan!🙏🙏🙏

[@pencruzwear]

Hello Nathan! Thankyou for your video. I’m wondering about a client of mine who suffered his stroke last year. Other therapies were considered more important at the time. Can l still help him using these exercises now? Is there still a chance of some rehab? Or do l need to modify the exercises because of this? It’s for a flaccid arm.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

If it has been a year, the arm might not be flaccid anymore. Maybe not too soastic but it has started. Try this video still and instruct the movement you want the client to do. Start with shoulder sheugs and elbow bending. Theb try arm pulling and pushing with assistance from you

[@Shewinvlog]

Thanks for the videos, my dad is excited to do them even though i found an OT for him

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

PT and OT studied almost the same approaches except for the last 2 yrs. These trchniques are what i use with my patients

[@jaimesgran-d6070]

Thank you. How about stiffness doc, how do we make it flex again. I feel my leg to be very heavy, sense of coldness too

[@christineingraham5848]

Jamie Stationary bike helped me and a stepper from Walmart if your is not so good you can sit and use the stepper

[@glax4373]

Thank you so much for your videos. Very very thankful and appreciative .] One question, what's going on with my arm if it shakes, specially when I try to hold something or in the action of my arm heading towards the thing im going to grab. good exercise for this problem. Thank you

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

You might be talking about clonus. Arm clonus. If not, it could just be weakness. I see both after a stroke

[@MrsTessWren]

I too get clonus on overuse. It’s a fine line…

[@solomonabiama354]

Thanks Dr, I have a similar challenge but gradually getting better.the challenge now is weakness of general body

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

How is your appetite?

[@Npfernandez]

Hi doc, can this still be usefull for 1 yr post stroke of patients?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Not anymore because usually, the arm or leg are not flaccid anymore. It will be the other exercises i have

Thank you

[@gregoryprieto5987]

[@vinny-lp5qv]

i recently had surgery for severe cervical stenosis and have lost a lot of function in my upper arms and fingers and was wondering if there are any you tube channels that talk about rehabilitation after spinal cord injuries ?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

There might be somebody. The nerve needs to grow back and for the mean time, move the limbs involved to orevent contractures

[@RtyjhgFsdhh]

Thanks

[@pamhammond9476]

My weak arm lay on my stomach. Can you help me train my weak arm to relax? My muscles are contracted and muscles are super Tight? Help me, please.

[@SaRaHSaLiX]

My Father had a stroke 4 years ago. During Covid and really didn't receive the rehab he deserved. He has right side hemiplesia . He can lift leg but not walk on it. His right arm he cannot move at all. Is it too late? He's kind of given up. PT now focused on his leg more than anything .

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

It is not really late, but encourage him to do his therapy and be consistent. He also needs to do his home exercises given with or without the help of others.

Hi nathan.. where are you from

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

I am filipino. 🇵🇭

[@hastha7083]

I DONT REALLY THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO DO THE WRIST FLEXION.... WRIST EXTENTION IS WHAT MUST BE DONE. BECAUSE IN INITIAL FLACCID PARALYTIC CONDITION , ARM IS GOING TO BE ADDUCTED, INTERNALLY ROTATED AND THEN WRIST GOES IN FOR FLEXION . SO THE GOAL OF THE Rehabilitation ,SHOULD BE TO ,MAINTAIN ARM IN ABDUCTION , EXTERNAL ROTATION AND WRIST EXTENTION... WITH FINGER EXTENTIONS.. JUST BRUSHING WITH A COMB OR BRUSH IS NOT GOING TO HELP .... PLEASE ADVICE, PROMPTLY... SOFT TAPPING ON THE AFFECTED MUSCLES, DURING THE ABDUCTION, EXTERNAL ROTATION OF SHOULDER ,WITH WRIST EXTENTION ,... WILL REALLY HELP BRING BACK, NORMAL MUSCLE CONTRACTION..IN TO THESE MUSCLES BACK AGAIN... PEOPLE WATCH YOUR CHANNEL, FOR EFFECTIVE REHABILITATION THERAPY....STUDY AND THEN POST THE EXERCISES CORRECTLY

[@dansathira4573]

all you do here is for patient who already can move the arm, not for those who got no control.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

This is to deveop muscle tone and eventually move the arm

[@Dhhtyu4566]

What about using a massage gun on the affected arm ?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Yes. It will help. Avoid bony prominences

[@uchechiihesiulor]

I've been sick for a year can this work for me?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

May not be the exercises for you. Look i to my other exercises. Maybe for the stroke with the 2nd stage
