My Leg & Foot | My Disability in Detail | Shaelyn

Hey everyone, welcome to episode #2 of my series “My Disability in Detail” - this one’s for my leg and foot! Let me know if you have hemiplegia if you can relate to anything I talked about in this video! I think it’s really important that we break the stigma and talk openly about disabilities :)

Very beautiful and useful information Thanks for making video Just curious when you move your wrist, fingers and thumb do you feel any pain when you try to straight?

Hey Shaelyn Love this video series and the thorough, very structured explanations. That's very insightful! Besides movement and balance, being a personal trainer I would also have been interested in the muscle strength/stamina of your left leg. Maybe a comparison between both legs with some exercises. For example, trying to stand up from the floor only using the left leg, maybe leg raises on the floor, or even something like single-legged squats. I think this would be very interesting, too :) But anyway, keep up your fantastic work!

[@Shaelyn]

I have a video that I posted months ago about what I do at the gym for leg day if that interests you! Unfortunately having paralysis, I don’t think I would be able to accomplish the things you mentioned - Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching :)

[@juliatrainer6813]

@@Shaelyn Thank you so much for your reply! I'm sorry that I had missed that earlier video. I watched it just now. That was exactly the type of video I had in mind. Wow, it's amazing what you're doing there, also with your left leg! Especially those calf raises and the split squats, too. So there definitely is a lot of strength and coordination there already as I can see! So you my single leg squats are already checked (as I meant split squats anyway) :-). And seeing your strength there, I'm sure that leg raises on the floor should be within reach, too - maybe not that far yet, but it would be a start :-)

So on your affected hip clicking you need to do some hip stabilizing exercises. I have one I do one of my physical therapists taught me that’s really simple. She called it Ts and Ls.

[@Shaelyn]

I’ll have to look into it! Thank you :)

[@lifehacked86]

@@Shaelyn I’ll try to find some way to show it to you.

@@lifehacked86 that’s so kind thank you! :)

@@Shaelyn it’s no problem at all. We survivors gotta stick together. I’m 34 was 30 when I had my strokes (3in less than 24 hours) and I follow you because you inspire me and I learn so much from you.

[@shellyhaskell4259]

Its a pleasure to meet you. You are doing great! My stroke was 5 years ago. Same side. You give me hope to get out of this darn chair. My experiences are very much like yours. Especially rehab hospital. That was a very long year.

[@Shaelyn]

I’m so glad that you found my videos and that they help you in some way or another! This is what keeps me going❤️ Thank you for commenting!!

Make sure you remember me when you hit a million subs!

[@carrieglanemann6934]

Love watching your videos! I get my afo next month. You are an inspiration ♥️ I am hoping to walk again. I’m 11 months post stroke from a brain bleed that I got in a vehicle accident at work

[@Shaelyn]

I’m so happy that you like my videos ❤️ you’ll walk again, I believe in you!

This ..the best vedeo i liked

[@JimBob-kl5te]

Hey, Thanks for sharing your story? Do you have a normal babinski sign on the other foot? Must have been interesting the first time the PT tried it if you are super ticklish on the feet?😂 You should get someone to test out each of your foot reflexes in a future video for comparison as don’t think you can test reflexes yourself? 😊 Keep making videos.👍🏻

[@Shaelyn]

I do have a normal babinski reflex on my right foot! I think I'll include a comparison in my March Breaking 10,000 Barriers episode :) Thanks for the recommendation!

[@JimBob-kl5te]

Look forward to your March video.😊 Will it be on this channel? No worries. Ya’ll take care👍🏻

I desperately wish I could get rid of my afo or ankle brace but my ankle rolls without one of those.

[@Shaelyn]

My ankle used to roll really badly without a brace too, it honestly still does when I do certain movements but Physio and practice walking with my AFO really helped me!

[@lifehacked86]

@@Shaelyn I’ve used an afo or some sort of brace for 4 years now it’s getting to be so frustrating.

[@Shaelyn]

@@lifehacked86 Have you looked into other therapies like getting Botox? I feel like that really sped up the process for me to get out of my braces. Talk to your doctor about it:) it essentially took away my spasticity in my ankle and foot enough for me to accomplish new things in my physio sessions

[@lifehacked86]

@@Shaelyn I spoke with 1 neurologist about Botox for my foot and ankle because I have really annoying clonus they were supposed to set me up with a dr in my area that does it but we never heard anything about it after that.
