Standing and Walking after a Stroke: Progression Two

[@tiffanywest2311]

Started watching on my SMARTY today. I had a massive heart attack almost 2 years ago and I'm STILL recovering. This is SOOOOO HELPFUL!

[@rehabhqofficial]

I am so glad to read this. I wish you a speedy recovery :)

[@nathalie7790]

Love it thanks Dr. T back to laying a strong foundation for walking. am walking but still hyper extending and my leg is stiff using the skateboard and gym ball technique but I'm loving this progression. Was praying for you when you didnt upload a video last Sunday. I'm glad to know that your fine. Have a blessed week!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Nathalie, I am so glad you found this helpful! I appreciate the prayers 🙏

[@karaokehowie]

Building a strong foundation with blocks of "affected leg exercises" held together with repetition, repetition, repetition to make that brain muscle connection. Thanks Dr. T.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Excellent Summary!! Thank you for watching and for sharing this. You just summed up a 15 min video in 1 sentence 😊

💝🤩💝 Love this video again, the on-the-belly-stuff is so hard, the hamstrings are super underperforming. In the good old gym times, that was no problem... but now every muscle and nerve there has to wake up again 😅😅 Thanks Dr. Tara and congrats to 12,500 followers! All the best from Germany 🥰💖🥰

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Nina! So true about the hamstrings! I think we all miss the good ole gym days right now 😊. We will all get back there soon! Yes, 12,500 subs. Never expected that when I started this. Glad to know the videos are helping people. I appreciate your support of me and this channel! I seriously could not do it without all the encouragement. Have a great Sunday 😊🌼🌻🌞🤗From Florida, USA)

Dr. Tobias, thanks for the logical explanation, great videos. Greetings from Brazil.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching Luciano! I am glad to read the explanations help :)

[@lorenaamaya2385]

Thank you, everything you post is helping a lot, I love your knowledge. Specially with this pandemic, we can do it at home and stay safe at home, I love it, I thanks God to have you and have access to this therapy!!! Blessings!!!

[@user-qh9si4zt1e]

Believe, believe in recovery, it will come, it takes years, recovery can be done decades after the event. My recommendation is to put a dumbbell on the arm and leg in order to get a stretch. Make circular movements of the hands, legs, head. Gentle circular movements in all positions standing, sitting, lying down. Transfer weight to the injured leg, climb stairs with the injured leg. Sleep on a hard surface. Good luck with God's help.

[@Sylphlet]

These are fantastic exercises, I appreciate how the progressions are broken down to provide a strong foundation!

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for the positive feedback! I am glad it helped :)

[@Jennifer-xs8lr]

Thank God I found this video to start a clear foundation of exercise. Thank you, 😊Doctor. Tara tobias

[@jamesgilliam8002]

This is very challenging but good. I appreciate such valuable information. Keep it coming. Thanks.

[@rotorudage]

Always informative. Thanks. DR.

[@Iamgayathrinagarajan]

Every day to be done... Have seen my relatives and my dad..everyday is a progress... surrounded people hav to teach and talk to them and motivate..First have to start with bed exercises then make them sit everyday...make them stand everyday and ask thwm to press the affected leg as much as they can...next is good food..adding pepper turmeric and veegtables and greens to diet helps..other tip is using oil massage we use narayana thaila and also ayurveda thaila sudarshana thaila massage from amazon.. progress is slow but worth it..we shoild alsontry to get a flouwer cot so affected person can bend their body make them sit in cot itself

[@prashibhardwaj7012]

Hello Mam, I'm very impressed from your exercises thanks mam🙏

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Prashi! Thank you for watching. I hope they are helping you 😊

[@cangels15]

Awesome info!! 😊👍

[@rehabhqofficial]

Glad it was helpful!

[@strokerecoveryworkouts]

HI thx for these videos they helped out when i had down time from p/t

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching Richard! I am glad these videos helped you out 😊

[@mrstevek118]

Those diagonal patterns are not only good for my balance but also my core

[@alefeb1]

Can you discuss the importance of rest after stroke? And discuss about how many hours of rehabs day a person should do physically, maybe someone who’s in their 30s versus their 40s etc.

[@kavithasubbu8453]

Hi mam. We can do this exercises to correct the circumduction gait for stroke patients at the stage of 3rd month.

[@fredkotthaus1518]

Another fantastic video, I really appreciate the explanation of the movements, I guess I need to run to the Home Depot and get me some sliders, LoL thanks again

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks, I hope it helps! Btw, home depot is a staple for DIY rehab ;)

[@shaileshpatel4450]

Excellent

[@sameerkashyap9695]

Thanx you mam🙏

[@kimking2531]

I find these videos frustrating as someone that has not had a Stoke, their movements are very different. I would like to see Tara bring someone in to do these exercises with their restrictions. I am grateful for the information however as a stroke survivor I am putting in a suggestion

[@farabanabi4944]

A few questions, appreciate your recommendations. 1- on “roll on stomach” I can’t lift my affected leg while bending the knee for 90 degrees. I Can just lift the leg for a few degrees with no knee-bending. Should I continue practicing in this way or return back to which exercises? 2- In the “rotating” exercise, should we only move the unaffected leg? the reason? 3- Is it right or totally wrong if practising the recommended exercises for both of the affected & unaffected sides?

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and all the excellent questions! I am sure you are not the only one thinking these things. So, thank you. 1. Try a starting with your knee "more bent" (put a thicker pillow under the foot). If that doesn't work, try this video which is more specific for someone who can not bend the knee: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6GUl3ZshtyBlas 2. Yes, we are trying to get more comfortable on the involved leg and discourage compensatory strategies. Also, it might create a problem with (the swinging phase) of the involved leg. 3. Again, in most cases, with hemiplegia you are already over using the uninvolved leg so focus only on the involved leg. This video might help answer this question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKHPfZ5pnc-ar80 I hope this helps!

[@m6_jedi953]

Ive literally just took my first step after having 2 strokes less than 3 weeks ago its upset me asI really want to move my hand again and I cannot do it yet

[@britneymelgar3764]

How can they walk again, my mom had a stroke her leg gets stiff and can not bend it at all..why does this happen

[@PramodKumar80603]

Veery good men nice video Ye Jo rowal Kahna se Mita hai

[@lawonscott1634]

Hey my name is Lawan I have lost strength in my legs from laying in the hospital bed too long and I'm trying to get them stronger could you send me any kind of videos or tell me what videos to watch of yours

[@user-rf7lu4mw5s]

How many times do you recommend exercise in the week? How many hours to do exercise in per day ? .you are amazing Dr

[@rehabhqofficial]

Here are my thoughts on the question of "how many times". I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fnrVhIqjbJWAeNE

[@brindhapalanivelu5492]

Please upload the video for transverse myelitis patients mam

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching! Many of the videos for stroke will work well for transverse myelitis. The only part that might not apply is when I say "involved side". However the goal is still the same.....restore normal movement patterns. :)

[@elmermuceros5893]

My problem is when I doing that exercise, I got neck pain cause of muscle pulling.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching and for sharing the difficulty you are having. Which exercise gives you the neck pain?

[@elmermuceros5893]

@@rehabhqofficial both leg and hand but mostly in my hand when I move this I feel that the muscle in my neck also moving up to under my ear.

[@David-oe1xj]

Thks Doc, carpets slider who would of thought. Ever looked into sand walking. U can really focus on The foot motion. David (ms patient)

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching! Sand walking is definitely adding an additional challenge for the ankle. :)

[@vivianredic918]

If you’re obese you’re unable to cross your legs until you loose weight, so what should we do in the meantime ? Thanks.

[@rehabhqofficial]

That is an excellent question! Thank you for sharing this. Try placing the uninvolved leg on a yoga block (similar to the sit to stand progression). I hope that helps!

[@relaxwithnature6532]

Love it foundation is essential

[@myrnaurquiza3891]
