[@UrbanSwagger]

Thank you for this. I've saved a number of your longer videos but haven't watched them due to time constraints.

This is the purpose of these shorter videos! Thanks for sharing this!

I've just got released from my third inpatient rehabilitation, and my declining isn't stopping they've put down in the recommendation to follow PT and OT in local clinics..I've lost hope completely..I've tried many times and the last one is a university hospital with great resources...I've lost hope at this rate I'll be barely functional in 2 years 😢

Any tips on dealing with flexor spasms? Mine are insane and nobody seems to know how to treat them. It's misery.

[@kicknowledgesmith8608]

My foot drops because I have no ankle and toe movement. My therapist said I have activation in the toes and need to stretch more due to the tightness and spasticity. I think I may need E stem, to help the connection in the brain. I will talk to my therapist about that. The foot is so far away from the brain and it's harder to connect.

[@egatt1]

I had the similar thing just a little toe movement no ankle movement. I started using the scratch bands, putting around the top of my toes and using it as a gas paddle motion I would say and I got great movement try that out don’t give up.

[@egatt1]

Don’t give up man right when you think it’s over it’ll turn around it. Focus more try to eat right and get plenty of rest.

[@kicknowledgesmith8608]

@@egatt1 I will keep trying and won't give up. Thank you!

[@ifeomaobidinma4044]

[@ifeomaobidinma4044]

Am not giving up. God is helping me. I will recover well by God's Grace as I put in my best. Thank you all😘

But, how to move back with a paralysed and heavy leg ?

[@scottbertrand5544]

I look at the bottom of my shoes every 30 days to see where I have the most wear on my sole. Heal or toes.
