Like acupuncture is…do a few times, get few sessions in…then, visualize. You got the drill. Imagine it between sessions, and often. We have so much to be thankful for. These great content providers are one thing. Thank you for teaching and allaying fear.
This is really great. Emphasize the benefit of taking time. People say trick the brain. No, train the brain. New pathway. Closed for Construction. Detour. Wonderful internet. Neuroscientist says as an aside…the brain doesn’t know where it is. What? The brain knows it’s in a darkened box. It’s waiting to be of service in some task.
Should we move the affected side, either it's a wrong movement? I'm trying since 3 months without moving because I afraid it's worth if the affected side use to move wrong. What do I have to do please?
Any type of movement is good for the effected side. It is much better to move than to not move, even if it is not the "right" way. Just start moving and then work to improve the quality of the movement.
That depends on how tight it is and how much movement you have. If it is really tight, spasticity management might help. Another video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation TH-cam channel: "Treating spasticity in stroke", talks about that. Do you work with a therapist?
Yes, you can still improve a year after a stroke. Check out a couple more videos on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation channel: My life after stroke: never give up, Improving arm use in hemiparesis, Brain Plasticity to improve function. There also is a stroke playlist.
We tend to believe that improvements can only be made in the beginning. That is not true. Improvements can be made for many years. It might be worth a try.
@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation You're right! I have a rest of left hemiparesis for about 30 years, I'm not recovered completely, but almost any type of moving avoiding pain helped me to improve mobility on my left arm. You're doing a great work up here! Congratulations!
I'm curious, at one part of the video the lady is making physical contact with the guy's affected hand. If he feels this when he is looking at the mirror image of his right moving normally, wouldn't the physical contact contradict the visual process?
My Husbands arm is paralyzed. He has been paralyzed since mid 2017, Due to an injury in his prachial plexus. Does anyone know if this could help or if it would be too late to give it a try?
This is meant more for injury to the brain. If he has any movement in his arm, strengthening the movement he does have can help. Also, have you seen an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon who specialize in brachial plexus injuries?
@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation I see, Yes he has been seen by an orthopedic but not a neurosurgeon.His original injury was the cause of his arm being paralyzed, And a few months after he had surgery to attempt to restore movement. Unfortunately it did not help. We have been told that most likely he will not ever regain function or sensation to his arm and hand. But I am just trying to see if there is any other options.
Usually it is not completely cured. But there is much that can be done to help. See the cerebral palsy play list on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation youtube channel.

This is exactly what I needed to see try thank you so much
Great video
Ok that’s what I thought, you have to try to move the affected side along with unaffected, thanks
Great
good

@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation excellent answer, well said. How do I get to Carnegie Hall. Practice.
Can a person who have stroke 3 years back also open the wrist and how much time is required
That depends on how tight it is and how much movement you have. If it is really tight, spasticity management might help. Another video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation TH-cam channel: "Treating spasticity in stroke", talks about that. Do you work with a therapist?
Can it help after more than a year since stroke?And the hand is a little functional
Yes, you can still improve a year after a stroke. Check out a couple more videos on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation channel: My life after stroke: never give up, Improving arm use in hemiparesis, Brain Plasticity to improve function. There also is a stroke playlist.
Would this possibly be a good idea to try even after 21 years?

Good question. I would think it might facilitate the process, but I'm not sure.

My 2 month old baby has hemiparese dextra. can it be completely cured if you do stimulation therapy?
I didn't mean to hurt you but I guess no bcz I'm 19 nd I was born with it nd it never cured completely it just lessened

Nice
