Walking Exercises: Push Off Phase

[@darkodarkovic7827]

I noticed that my steps are different, so I do similar exercises on the stairs and I push myself around the yard with the affected leg on the wheelchair, I can't do it for long, but I'm making some progress. Have a nice week.

[@valentinpopescu1156]

Good evening, Dr. Tara. I've been diagnosed with MS several months ago and my neurologist made it clear at our first meeting that apart from medication (which might be effective or not) it's crucial to take very seriously the idea of exercising constantly (and to make order in the diet and sleep program). I find your videos extremely useful - thank you for taking the time to make them.

[@rehabhqofficial]

Hi Valentin! Thanks for watching and for sharing your story. I am glad you find these videos helpful :) I agree that nutrition, exercise and sleep are critical to slowing disease progression in MS

Khud pe bharosa kriye and make effort to make u better I m also suffer from paralysis

[@valentinpopescu1156]

Hello, Dr. Tara. you know, I doubt there is an obvious causal link between diet and MS; doctors would have noticed it until now. I suspect there is pure and simple the inner comfort there is something I can do about my disease. I cannot control what happens to my neurons, but I can decide what I put into me. very likely, any diet (which is non-idiotic) is better than no diet at all. thank you for your reply.

[@petermessinesi1924]

Dr Tara, Thank you once again for such an informative, comprehensive session. I particularly appreciate that you explain the issue in detail that in turn motivates me to do the exercises. You continue to help me with my MS rehab. I am so grateful to you.

Great to see you this week Gregory! Thanks for watching

Dr. You fill me with so much hope. I have been wearing AFO for 7 years, PT is working on dorsiflexion. Foot rolls without AFO. I am in a better position to communicate with him as a result of your vids e.g I asked was he working the tailus bone to promote dorsiflexion. Felt v chuft.many, many thanks for your sharing your expertise & professionalism with us, it is invaluable☘️☘️❤️❤️❤️

Great exercises. I’m at a place where I’m trying to get my calf to engage in push off to help my walking.

Me too… have you had any luck so far ?

[@caseysmith3329]

@@preciousmbiza3098 I can feel it wanting to engage, but needs more consistent strengthening to get there. How about you?

[@robertbissett]

A normal gait does not involve a push off with the rear foot. The calf does not contract at that point. It's a common misconception. Instead the toe lifts off the ground and the leg begins to swing forward.

I'm experiencing that when I'm exercising I use my shoulder to lift my arm or back to finish.

[@payal2811]

Hi Dr Tara… I have MS since last 10 years and have weakness in my right leg… I cannot feel my heel when I walk and also I get a swaying sensation in my right hip joint and my knee joint when I walk… There is also lack of stability… Please help

[@destonlee2838]

Left side affected, it points, but the relay time from brain to foot is several seconds. There's severly inhibited reflex impulse. Have you seen ways to retrain that?

[@heathernadolinski9865]

Thank You! I will definitely try these exercises! I am desperate for anything to help me run again after having a massive stroke at 25 in 2001. I would like to challenge my nephew at soccer next year.;)

[@rehabhqofficial]

Thanks for watching Heather! Running with your nephew is such an excellent goal! You can do it!

[@nikitaw1982]

When i walk towards a mirror I see my heel turn in and knees sort of point out. I have sij pain some times and right knee is painful some times. Working on this could that mean heel doesnt sort of come forward? I try to weight my big toe whilst walking

[@neothe_road_to_recovery_2062]

🤓feels like you been watching again 😁. Some nice variations in there too put in the mix. Do feel that soft bracing is a great in between step between AFO and non to help with support and timing. 👍🏽

[@rehabhqofficial]

Have you been working on push off? Soft braces are not the best for spasticity IMO :)

[@lizarddronedude3617]

@rehabhqofficial a soft afo helps me lift my leg easier and feel theground better

[@sagequeen9655]

What can I do to regain the hip flexer and stopping the knee from hyperextending? Dealing with MS. Ugh.

[@elizabethrash7370]

Me too. I work on resisted hip flexion along with a lot of stretching to help with spasticity and hip/hamstring exercises for the knee stabilization. Dr. Tara has several videos that address these issues 👍

Don't that make a medacaition for spasticity to lessen the s spasticity .?

[@secretariatgirl4249]

Your videos enabled me to insist that my PT address the full chain methodically. I was not going to accept the "standard" stuff. As a result, for the first time I can walk better, in spite of a great toe that doesn't fully bend up. THANK YOU!
