I'm in the rehab for 3 months. I got discharged this 3rd of March and I'm still having difficulty walking because of the spasticity on my foot and ankle. My hips and knee are still weak. Im really grateful to watch this video and I'm trying to do this exercises now. I'm sure it will help alot. Thanks🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much for this video . I had fun doing the exercise , and of course finding out that I am already on the advanced level gave me my self confidence an additional boost.
IMO this is one of the best exercises on this channel. So I hope you keep it up. And yes, this is an advanced exercises so you are definitely on the right track :)
Another great video. Been doing some so it’s good to see something to add. Good format with calm explanation. Your time and effort is much appreciated.
I have a young patient (20) who I’m trying to get into a tall kneeling position. I was able to today, but even though he has the strength to do it, he has a difficult time following. Any words of wisdom or further activities to work his core as well as strengthening his left LE would be greatly appreciated. Been at this a while (also 20 years) but sometimes a fresh pair of eyes makes all the difference!
Thank you. I had a go at these this morning. They really do target the problem for me. I’ll definitely need more practice at the clam position before I let go of the table!
Excellent this is were I'm at in therapy I haven't walked by myself in 2yrs due to polymyositis muscle weakness 100%, the struggle is real. But I'm making my way out of the pit daily excerise it's great building muscles. Thank you
Thank yo Dr. this one really hit an effected spot I needed to gain control with. Kneeling felt safe and it help with the numb feeling I had on the left side hip area. Thanks feel like something woke up.
Dr. Tobias, i must ask again a full demo on the tall kneeling excercise, please i do have a great therapist and i am sure she's heard of this high kneeling therapy
This is the first video I've been able to do in its entirety!!! I'm so glad I found it, as I had a baclofen pump placed in January, and due to complications (long story), i've been having trouble stretching, which is a must for severe spasticity, especially when it's gonna be a while till we get my titration dose right and I've been feeling like the spasticity's worsening since surgery!!! (It's that bad!🥴) Thank you so much for all you do for us!!!🙏🏼🥰🙏🏼
I just watched and watched this video quite a few times and said piece of cake. And then I finally did it. I think I did a half of a fire hydrant. This is definitely a must do. Thanks Doc.
WOW!! "Half a fire hydrant" is a great start. This is a hard one. Especially lifting the uninvolved leg out to the side while putting all the weight on the involved leg. GREAT JOB!
Great video as aslways!! I'm going to start to do these to help with my hip falling fordward issue I have. Thank you again for such good information and the why's!
Your voice and method of explaining is impeccable. Really appreciate it. The question I have for you is that, mostly stroke pateint is an elderly person, and knee pain is one of the most common complain in every second person at this age. So I want to know that if kneeling down like this is not possible for them, what can be the best alternative for achieving these effects without bothering the pateint... ?
Thanks for watching! That is an excellent question. I have lots of leg exercises that will help you. Check out the playlist to find the best videos for you :)

Hi Mark, hello from America :) Thank you so much for sharing!! I am so happy to read that you find this video helpful! Also, spending time on your stomach is another great way to stretch the psoas. Here is a video that might help: th-cam.com/video/EzBg0p6GnYM/w-d-xo.html. I made this video for arm weight bearing but it will also helps to stretch the psoas. Especially if you spend a lot of time sitting during the day. I hope it helps. Stay safe!
Dear Tara,thank for your videos.it help s me slot. I'm progressing. My problem now is how to stand from bed or sitting without support fr my caregiver. Still ñot moving up my affected leg at the4 inch stepper. ,But I can move left leg to 4"stepper I do hope someday I can make it. Continue your videos for it helps a lot of people.G of bless
Hello Dr. My husband had 3 strokes, all this in two weeks, and this left him with this issues with his left arm, he has pain, sleeping muscles under the arm and forearm, and difficulty in moving the two middle fingers and the hand. Please can you indicate an exercise plan for that? I just started looking your videos, and I loved! Thank you so much!🙏🏻❤️
Thank you so much for both explaining and showing about how to go about the exercise. Dr problem with me is my left leg is very weak. Each time I try to get up . I fall with a thud on the floor. Please do both suggest and guide me how to overcome the same . You tend to motivate people a lot . Also , say by doing the exercise we will get well soon. ❤❤❤
I had a 9-disk 2si joint surgery 5 months ago and it is like my brain and legs aren't working together. I can not walk without Trek Poles. I am trying these because I am frustrated. I had a 5-disk lumbar fusion in Nov 2020, a knee replaced in Nov 2021 and the 2020 fusion chiseled out and replaced plus 4 added lumbar fusion as well as 2si joint surgery in Dec 2022. I walk good with Poles, but alone, certain parts of my body are weaker than other parts and I am unable to walk. I am trying these because the things you talk about fit the way my body is working. Thank you!
I’ve been fitted with AFO for splastic left ankle. I like your exercise techniques to stretch muscles of lower leg. The AFO is helping me walk. I’d love to get to point I can go with out it of course thanks
My ankle is mostly locked up all together. I’ve fixed it greatly from stretching as much as I have, but I’ve improved my strength to lift my dropfoot so slowly, from trying to walk heel toe every time I walk.
I need to put both hands on a table to bring my right leg to the side even though I can bring the entire leg up in front to make it 90° at the knee. could you please give me some hints how I can make it stronger to rotate to the side Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Is there in the new orleans Louisiana area that can help me with the exercises that is showen in your videos ; because those are the ones I need. I had a stroke 2019 iam in therapy but.not as helpful as yours please help, thanks
Hi Tara I love your videos I find them very helpful. June 28, 2022 I will be 6 years post stroke and I feel like I’ve improved to a point and stop. I struggle with climbing stairs, twist ankles sometimes I pull the left foot behind me and I keep making a fist with my hands I need help
If you can get into the tall kneeling position and rotate the leg all the way out . Should you still go through the entire sequence or focus more on the affected leg. I think that’s more of where my problem is my affected leg can hold my weight easily and being plus size that’s a lot of weight 😄. I think my biggest issue is that there is some tightness in my affected hips side and thigh so I am still focusing on your first sequence of videos because that seems to help me a lot. I have a little one so it’s hard to do them every day. Thanks for keeping your videos so informative I would really love information so that’s the best part of me.
MoniqueShaq22 thanks for watching! That is a great question! If you can support your body weight on the one leg and maintain good form than you can go into half-kneeling (next video :)) which is kneeling on one knee. Make the important thing is that you can keep the bottom in on the effected side whether it is on two knees or one knee. I hope this helps!
hello Doc thank for this video. it wme alot as i recovering from stroke . thanks to god im alive. btw, my hip keepson poping(is it theproper term?) when i try to step forward
Hi Tara..thanks for the video..can you please please suggest me some excercises to be able to bend my knee backwards..I cannot do it at all and my recovery has stopped there.. please suggest me some excercises that can help me move forward
If can’t get up from the floor by myself, is it ok to start doing them on top of my bed? That way if I fall, I will not get injured., I currently live alone sonI can’t take the chance thstvI will not be able to get back up into my wheelchair from the floor. Does that make any sense? Or,do you have any other suggestions?
Hi, my husband has got critical neuropathy ue to long hospitalization because of being in comma due to metabolic encephalopathy. Can you pl suggest some exercise is for him to achieve standing position from sitting. Also is it possible to have video consultation from you
I can't get into a kneeling position unassisted, my affected leg won't pull backwards 90 degrees. And no I am not in the early stages of recovery, I can already walk and climb stairs
Plasticity? or Spasticity? It definitely helps with spasticity but it is temporary so to help with "plasticity" I highly recommend you do this in conjunction with therapy. When the baclofen is "effective" it might decrease the resistance when attempting to relearn the "opposing movement". I hope that makes sense.
Thank you so much for your instruction! I have MS and have progressed over the years. I am a member of the MS gym and do a lot of exercise! Do you have a website with your exercises?
Thanks so much for your videos, they are invaluable. I wonder if you have any ideas about my predicament. My unaffected leg seems to be imitating my affected leg when I walk. I walk without a cane. My issue seems to be a lack of confidence in putting my full weight onto my affected foot. I feel that my affected leg is trying to copy the affected one and not doing performing of it’s own accord. I don’t know if this makes sense or whether I just need to keep practising but it is worrying me. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks.
Hi Angela. This is an extremely common question. So much so, I made an entire video on my thoughts on this mindset around "sets/reps". Check it out and comment with any other questions! th-cam.com/video/HIrSWm70MBo/w-d-xo.html

We’re not cripples never label yourself not even joking. Great exercise to rise up!
@Jeannie Howell You are so right. That mindset will get you nowhere. I may be a little challenged, but I will overcome it in time.
I have a young patient (20) who I’m trying to get into a tall kneeling position. I was able to today, but even though he has the strength to do it, he has a difficult time following.

Thank you. I had a go at these this morning. They really do target the problem for me. I’ll definitely need more practice at the clam position before I let go of the table!
I believe that crawling on the floor is also a great addition to this exercise.
?¿??
