My Mom had a major ischemic stroke last month and has no movement on her left side. I have been searching for videos that can teach ways to help her and this is the best by far!! I'm so glad I came across your video. Thank you for going into such detail this video is so so so helpful!😃😃
I've had right brain stroke/left side effect. I dont write songs anymore. Left hand cannot fret guitar chords due to fall damage. Im pretty sharp but now forgetful of simple things. This is life changing!
Thank you for this! I have someone who had a stroke about the time you released this video and his behavior!!😯 He's managed to rub everyone around him wrong, but who he is now is not who he was pre-stroke. Glad I found something I can share with those who want to support him, so we can properly support.
Great explanation ~ my wife just had a right side stroke 3 days ago. This explains her new world - she suffers from claustrophobia and this has made it even harder for her - specially since she has hard time opening here eyes. Touching her and hugging her and massaging seem to give her reference points and that she's not alone. I am trying to learn how best to help her. Thanks for sharing this very informative video ~~~ cheers from my side.
Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing your passion and expertise. I am sure it is somewhere in the comments, but I wanted to add that individuals who suffer a cerebellum stroke are affected on the SAME side as the stroke. My husband had a massive left cerebellum stroke (90% loss) and has severe left side neglect. He works hard in rehab, though it is going to take lots more work and time. Videos like yours are so helpful. Thank you!!
You are amazing. Thank you so much for the education on left side neglect. My husband had two months of in-patient rehab,which helped improve the neglect. He has left sided sensory, nerve injury caused by the stroke. He is able to move his body parts on the affected side but his grip is weak.
Have a good friend who had 3 strokes 14 years ago. He uses a walker to get around but lives a fairly normal life otherwise. He lost right side vision after the strokes for about 80% on the right side. Recently he has been having a mirage type of vision on the bottom quadrant of the right side. Which was totally not there before. Along with this he has had extreme dizziness/vertigo and balance has been worse than normal. Have you ever heard of this in a stroke survivor of 14 years?
Helpful information. I had a stroke in my sleep 2/11/23 damage to my right side of my brain. With left leg n left arm but I did gain some of the mobility of my left arm and I have to have therapy for leg and arm
I have damage on the right side of my brain and left sided neglect. I turned my computer monitor at my desk a little more to the left to force myself to look thst way.
Thanks for the explanation, in addition to patient discipline for exercising in such cases, understanding and helping the environment to become aware of the problem is very important. Have a nice week.
I have left sided neglect. I turned my computer monitor at my desk a little more to the left.Once I almost had an accident with my car for totally not seeing a car to my left side. My 14 years old daughter started yelling at me right taway saying Mom! Your neglect!”
I do not fully agree with many statements as I have experienced big improvements in the 10 years since my stroke. It should be mentioned that trust in God, prayer and willpower are big contributors to improvement. Also, please talk about how to position the body for sleeping
Fractal glasses saved my Mom after an occipital stroke. Mind Eye Institute in Illinois. Look them up. Now Mom had a stroke, a d the glasses (and therapy) is helping with the deficit.
I have damage to the right side of the brain; left half of body affected; hemiplegic left side of my body. I don’t have any issues with spatial awareness, but my sense of balance is completely whacked out; a slight bump or touch makes me feel like I’ll fall. And just blowing air on my left arm is painful.So weird.
Thank you so much dr this is !! Honestly amazing and that somone who can explain this to others that neglect is not only the obvious to the whole side - you explaining about the leg buckle is exactly what I had too. Thank you
Hi, I’ve just discovered your very educational videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge. I’m 12 years post stroke, I live in Melbourne Australia, and it seems most therapists here haven’t updated their therapy techniques in 20 years. I’m struggling with nerve pain and spasticity, amongst a few other issues and have begun applying your exercises to my daily routine 👍 My question to you about right side stroke and neglect is - my haemorrhageic stroke AVM, occurred in my brain stem, Pons/medullar oblongatta area. It has affected the left side of my body but the right side of my head/face. I experience the left side neglect as you’ve describe. Does this mean treatment for me would be a similar approach? Thank you so much :)
Hi Antonio, I can’t answer your questions; as I am just a fellow stroke survivor. Just wanted to say hello. I admire you; having been dealing with this for 12 years; I’m just 3 years in from my stroke, and even that seems so long. Regardless, God bless you sir and may you always have peace and comfort. I’m way over in Arizona.👍🏻
YAS!! there is nothing wrong with me! lmao! i am so happy to find more food on the left side of my plate! my picture is next to "left neglect" in the dictionary.
Right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body. So if your stent was placed on the right side of your brain you would show effects on the Left side of your body. Hope that helps.
I had a right side stroke 3 months ago (Sept/24) and have been feeling slightly dizzy and unbalanced all the time. Also have been experiencing tinnitus after stroke so I don't thing hemispatial neglect pertains to me. My left arm and leg are fully functional now and I know what's on my left side. I think I have a problem with my vestibular system.
My stroke was on my right side of my brain and the left side of my body is affected. If I'm staring straight ahead at a wall across the room. And someone was standing in front of me but slightly to my left they would be invisible to me. But not if they were slightly to my right side. I closed each eye to see if it was my eye. And no the results were the same. It can be frustrating most days.
i feel i am aware of my left side. I have both sides, I am "just"unable to do anything with my ledt hand. having said that, 6 months ago I did a dtiving assesment and they said i was tending to be too close to the left side, because i was not aware of what was there.
Multiple Sclerosis relapses or like mini strokes right? I keep saying I feel like my eyes can see but my brain is blind. No one is giving any answers beyond optic neuritis. But I've had multiple eyes exams and my eyes are fine perfect even but I'm never quite sure what is the thing I have to do next and where to find things where I last put them. Also HALLWAYS! When I walk down hallways where everything is close up it makes me dizzy but as soon as the walls open up in to my living room it's very disorientating as it takes time to regain my suroundings
I don’t have the vision line issue, but what i do know is my brain is firing with a command to my arm, hand, leg, but the signal isn’t getting to my extremity. When i get in my care, b4 i lift my left leg into the care, i have to say to myself, ‘lift leg’, to get the leg into the car. Ugh!
I had a stroke on January 9, 2014. I'm doing fine, but my focus and concentration have been off. I see that the left side of my lip hasn't gotten back in place. I function well by myself. I attend a Senior Tone class twice a week and a yoga class three times a week. My left side of my body needs to be strengthened more. Do you have videos for that? Thanks
Is there something like this "neglect" when it comes to emotion? My grandma is so angry all the time now. Lashes out over nothing. She's now extremely verbally, emotionally, and mentally abusive. It's destroying our relationship...
My husband has profound sensory loss to his right side after a left hemisphere bleed. We’ve been told it is not neglect. He sees the full visual field. He has learned to drive again and can back up a trailer. But we aren’t sure what to do about the profound sensory loss. It’s difficult for him to exercise that side because he isn’t aware of how well he is holding an item or where his foot is precisely. He’s 12 years post AVM bleed and has not done therapy for approximately 6 years now. Do you have any videos on assisting with recovery from sensory loss?
Hi idk if you answer but I had Covid was on a vent for five n half weeks . When I woke up my left arm from my elbow down I can not feel I have a dropped wrist . I feel like no matter what PT and OT are not helping get my arm back. I have a MRI tomorrow hopefully I can find out what nerves were damaged n if it’s reversible.
Thanks for sharing! If it is a peripheral nerve (caused by prolonged and/or sustained pressure which might compress the nerve), they take a long time to "heal". But keep working on it!
@@rehabhqofficial 🥺 I was afraid of hearing that I had a MRI of my spine today The neurologist thinks it’s coming from my shoulder . I just want to be back to normal . I’m thinking of seeing a nerve specialist or chiropractor ?
@@krystalhernandez4692 a certified hand therapist may be helpful as well. Did your OT/PT teach you any nerve glides or shoulder exercises? Sounds like a radial nerve issue. Nerves take quite a while to heal up. But like Rehab HQ says, keep working on it. Lots of repetition with attempts to move it and do the exercises/stretches will help!
you: “it is very common for people with right hemisphere damage to have issues with focus and sustained attention” me: makes sense that’s me ✍️ later on in the video: now let’s work on sustained attention me: on my phone googling massage guns, oh no what is she saying? rewind 3 min 😂😂 PS: I love your videos, thank you so much!
This woman is a gift.

Your case is hemiplegia not hemispatial neglect,please don't confuse the two
@@barasakelvin2125 good to know. Thank you!
Thank you, for covering this topic,Dr. Tobias. I'm in this category.
Great to see you this week Glen!
Hi Glen, I’m Eric. I’m right here with you; Ok, the right side still works; left side no.

I have damage on the right side of my brain and left sided neglect. I turned my computer monitor at my desk a little more to the left to force myself to look thst way.
Great video, thank you. How would you explain the difference between neglect and inattention?
i would like to know too
İ am left hemiplegic , my left side vision is not cocentrated as right side. Thanx Tara you are the best
Thanks for the explanation, in addition to patient discipline for exercising in such cases, understanding and helping the environment to become aware of the problem is very important. Have a nice week.
Hi there, you are amazing!! I’d like to ask if you have an option for people to ask you questions? Thank you
Thank you!!! This was very helpful and confirming as I care for my mother.
Great presentation. Can't save it to my playlist called health?? Gliobastoma survivor.
Great info ~ thank you!
We really appreciate your work!!
Thanks for watching and for commenting! I hope it is helpful :)
I have left sided neglect. I turned my computer monitor at my desk a little more to the left.Once I almost had an accident with my car for totally not seeing a car to my left side. My 14 years old daughter started yelling at me right taway saying Mom! Your neglect!”
they wouldn't let me drive until i resolved my issue, you got lucky.
When eating I always start eating food on the right side my plate first I am aware of it. But still do this at times.
I needed this… Thanks for sharing! I appreciate hearing tips on what should be avoided in rehab too.
Hi Kelly! Glad you found this one helpful 😊
I have a question regarding my case, I has a car accident I was driving and I was accidented from the right side and I had paresis on the right side
I have damage on the left side of my brain, right side neglect. Would you say it’s similar? Or is the right side a bit more difficult?
i love you Tara, you are an angel ❤❤❤
I do not fully agree with many statements as I have experienced big improvements in the 10 years since my stroke. It should be mentioned that trust in God, prayer and willpower are big contributors to improvement. Also, please talk about how to position the body for sleeping
Great video 🎉🎉
only a small parmy right side was damaged motor controland feeling.

So much good information
I wish I would have had access to this information after my Grandfather had a stroke. He is dead now so this won't help him.
I have damage to the right side of the brain; left half of body affected; hemiplegic left side of my body. I don’t have any issues with spatial awareness, but my sense of balance is completely whacked out; a slight bump or touch makes me feel like I’ll fall. And just blowing air on my left arm is painful.So weird.
I can relate!
Left ICA stroke right neglects ideas ?
Thank you so much dr this is !! Honestly amazing and that somone who can explain this to others that neglect is not only the obvious to the whole side - you explaining about the leg buckle is exactly what I had too. Thank you
Does the right side of the brain control the left side of the body ?
Yes. And the opposite.
Yes

YAS!! there is nothing wrong with me! lmao! i am so happy to find more food on the left side of my plate! my picture is next to "left neglect" in the dictionary.
Which is more dangerous left side or right side of the brain stroke
Is this why I feel really uncomfortable with people sitting to the left side of me at a table and also left side when walking? 🧐
Can one with left side neglect use a wheelchair safely?
Am confused if my stent was place on the right hand side which side is affected Dr?
Right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body. So if your stent was placed on the right side of your brain you would show effects on the Left side of your body. Hope that helps.
how do you know if neglect has been resolved?
It means right side stroke in dangerous
I had a right side stroke 3 months ago (Sept/24) and have been feeling slightly dizzy and unbalanced all the time. Also have been experiencing tinnitus after stroke so I don't thing hemispatial neglect pertains to me. My left arm and leg are fully functional now and I know what's on my left side.

I have left side hemiplegia so likely had a right sided stroke have more physical than mental issues
Is there a thing for right side neglect my stroke affects my right side?😊
Is there something like this "neglect" when it comes to emotion? My grandma is so angry all the time now. Lashes out over nothing. She's now extremely verbally, emotionally, and mentally abusive. It's destroying our relationship...
I was told to lighthouse so turning my head to try to help with my left hand neglect

Thanks for the question! An occupational therapist can perform a driving assessment. Highly recommended if this is one of your goals.
Don't know what side I had stroke
Right
Can I Help?? My MRI Report for you😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🌹🌹🌹🌹
you: “it is very common for people with right hemisphere damage to have issues with focus and sustained attention”
me: makes sense that’s me ✍️
later on in the video: now let’s work on sustained attention
me: on my phone googling massage guns, oh no what is she saying? rewind 3 min 😂😂
PS: I love your videos, thank you so much!
Nice to start the day with a little chuckle 😊
You are not alone.
Don't gloss over the point I make that this can be improved 😉
You can do it!
