Neuro Rehab: Understanding the Shoulder

[@xbtheglobedenier2632]

Thanks Dr. Tara. I am doing all these methods for my 12 yr old son and getting a lot of positive results. The only thing I am not being able to get proper result is the supination of his hand. BTW his left hand and leg had stopped working completely after a subdural hematoma when he was 5 months old. I am following you since last couple of years and getting so much positive results and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.

[@jond4014]

Thank you Dr. Tobias I'm following this series on shoulder rehab very closely. I actually met my new physical therapist today. I'm Extremely excited to work with her along with supplementing my rehab program with exercises from your videos it's gonna be great getting so much input on putting together a new improved recovery program..... I'm feeling more optimistic than usual about my future.

[@teresacollinsporterfield5488]

Thank you again. You always amaze me! I am still having a little trouble raising my left arm/shoulder. Sometimes even when I raise my arm just to scratch my nose, I realize it feels heavy and/or lazy and know that I really need to work on this. I guess I have put this issue on the back burner working more on my gait and speech. So, thank you for this video. I plan on implement ING this with my daily regimen. Have a great week.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Teresa! I am so glad you found this one helpful. I know that your time and effort is paying on as far as your walking and speech :) Glad to know you aren't forgetting about that shoulder 😉 Btw, a "heavy arm" is a pretty common sensation. As I say in the video, it is always best to start lying down to build your confidence! Have a great week!

[@darkodarkovic7827]

In my experience, the key thing is to isolate the movements of the extremities when exercising, the thumb should be spread with the hand. The brain does not know how to do it on its own, and that is how the problems that you described nicely arise. Thank you for that, I’m looking forward to the new video. Have a nice day

[@rehabhqofficial]

Yes! All excellent suggestions. Thanks again for sharing your insights. They are always spot on 😊

[@bodcare1332]

Agree, the thumb always wants to press up close so I force it apart in this exercise and in quadruped

Hi. I just found your channel yesterday and have watched a few videos already. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I plan to watch & learn as much as I can! I had a severe stroke less than 4 years ago, 2 weeks after my 49th birthday, caused a brain bleed from an AVM. Lost my right side & speech, but recovery has gone pretty well. I believe your channel will help me to continue making good progress. Thanks again!

[@joannkoehler-rz8ky]

If you have a stroke on tge left side is the right side affected?

[@kimbrgsm1]

Thank you so much. My grand daughter suffered a closed tbi with damage to her right thalamus she is 18 mo I’m so glad I found you! PT abducted her left thumb but nothing else to the LUE. I noticed the spacicuty (didn’t know what it was ). So they had me working from the distal to proximal 😕. I’m super excited to isolate and start proximal

My shoulder fell out, very painful. I can still only raise 5 # on a good day.

[@teresacollinsporterfield5488]

Oh yes, Dr. Tobias. I know you're a busy lady and appreciate all you do. When you can, please think of the sensitivity issues or lack of that I hope you can give some information on in the near future. Thanks so much 😁

[@rehabhqofficial]

I would be happy to do this! Can you tell me more about what you are feeling and/or not feeling, area of the body and activities/conditions where you notice a change in sensation? That would help me a lot. :)

[@HalfWarrior]

@@rehabhqofficial I’m not the original one to ask the question (Teresa Collins Porterfield was), However, I think I kind of understand her question; I am left side paralyzed from my stroke; and just very light touch on my left arm is actually painful.Its like what used to feel simple and light ,registering as pain in my brain.It’s been really crazy trying to make sense of that.Most light touches on my left side hurt;as if my brain doesn’t know what to do with the sense of touch.Do you feel any strange pain like that Teresa? God bless you both;Teresa and Tara! By the way; I am currently unable to move my left arm whatsoever.

[@pratimamadeshiya6716]

After left side paralysis my mom left shoulder dislocated we don't the reason can you guide what thing shoulder locate on place plzzz

[@teresacollinsporterfield5488]

@@rehabhqofficial Yes, thank you. It is only my right hand only. And really just the fingers. I can feel hot and cold. I have to be able to see something like a bottle top or a pen in order to pick it up. If my eyes were closed, I would not be able to grasp it because I would not feel it good enough in order to know how far to open my hand. As long as I can see it.. I can grab it. This is so hard to explain. With my left hand (good hand) I can tell with my eyes closed that it's a bottle top, brush, pen or anything. It sucks because I am right handed. I know I have to use it or loose it. Just Any ideas or if there are others that have this problem maybe you could do a video at your convenience. ThAnks again!

If your are a stroke patient then surgery wont work for you ,and if you r not a stroke patient then get it corrected by local ortho , and if u suffer recurrent subluxation then your ortho will suggest you best solution

Basal ganglia stroke right side. Can pull back and push forward with arm. Can't raise the elbow above my head. Abduction not quite to gettimg elbow parallel to floor. No pain. Do TENS, elastics, acupuncture. Some subluxation. Considering sitting and learning left and trying "side pushup". Any suggestions will be tried. Will try more activation. Try to turn on and off lights, But, getting that last little movement makes my lower back muscles cramp up. Thank you 🛐

[@rehabhqofficial]

Yes Dr Mark! You are doing all the right things. Just keep going! As far as the low back pain, doing exercises lying down may help with that. And come back for next week's video where I will be giving more exercises!!

[@drmarkintexas-400]

@@rehabhqofficial Thank you. I know the low back pain vibe on when I can't get my hand up any more due to shoulder limitation, and I twist and contort trying to get that side up my body higher, like someone bench pressing too much weight and arching their back instead of remaining flat against the bench. Thank you, I'm Subscribed❤️🤗

Hand Arm Thumb are more tricky, as the they are harder to lengthen and keep in stretched position. I stretch many times a day, but especially the thumb is not easy to control and it triggers spastics on the hand. So looking forward to your tips tricks exercise for moving on!!!
