OMG! I am nearly in tears! 4 yrs 3 months post stroke. Literally thousands spent on therapy, without insurance and NEVER did I have a Dr. nor therapist give this information. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Sadly yet grateful that Google helped me more than anything. I became a student of the brain and stroke relationship. I learned more than I could imagine however if I had found you immediately after stroke, I honestly think I would be experiencing at least a 95% recovery. I've watched only 3 videos, I now see my next phase of recovery. You have explained more to me than I could possibly received from ALL other internet information and professionals combined. I will be devouring every episode and sharing with others who have experienced the same and their loved ones. So, sorry I couldn't find you at beginning. However, I can see and am encouraged that I haven't done nor have ever been shown these valuable and simple exercises. Most importantly I understand the specific stetching +++ bracing+++ benefits and how to add them to my routine.
Thank you very much doctor it’s really working for that arm and hand exercises…
6 years post stroke, this is the first time I've had Hope. last month I found your videos very helpful Thank you
Dwayne please use turmeric for inflammation, lion's Mane mushrooms for nerve growth factor, and chaga mushrooms for potent vitamin b. I'm also a stroke survivor 17' in his 30s.
@@wearerockstarz85 Hi, thank you for the information I will be working on it as soon as possible.

Well I'm 8 months out from three traumatic brain injuries including a stroke which was postoperative. It's been a challenge every day and trying to get folks to realize that I want to be 100% of whatever that new 100% is. These videos help with the tightening in the elbow and wrist and shoulder of the affected arm thank you so much

#strokearm.. just got stroke 3 months ago only 32 years old.... And pretty much working on it thank you so much such a great help
Thanks for sharing this video,,boy this hard,I need to work on this super job doctor.
please make video on the role of electric muscle stimulation and mirror box therapy in regaining movement in fingers and wrist. Thanx for your such informative and educating videos.
I have the same questions. I try to use e stim on the extensors but wonder if there is any demonstrated value to recovery. I also have used the mirror but motivation diminishes when no progress is apparent.
Very useful video mam thank you. Needed as well.
Thank you
Thank You
#stroke arm. I haven't found your links to the previous videos so could you please post the links again or do another series? I'm 5 years out from a massive right brain stroke. I used to dance flamenco and I would ideally like to get back to it, but my right hand is starting to get arthritis so I need to get my left hand working for doing everything before my right hand loses it's ability to fuction. I still walk with a cane, but my left leg is getting stronger and I'm starting to have stronger dorsiflexion and hamstrings. Thank you for all your videos. They've been helpful when my physical or occupational therapy insurance runs out from time to time
thank you😘

What can you do with a contracture little finger?. Thanks for your input.yiu are greatly appreciated
Would you recommend using the fes in exercise mode to to open the hand?
I know where to place the pads to achieve this but fear it maybe making it worse
The hand slpint that I have is not good and the fisted left hand is lower at my waist so what is the best hand splint for left hand to get ?
Hi! Do you have any advice for getting the fingers to get relaxed enough to get them flat to go in the splint ? My middle and ring finger always curl up when i try to strap them in
Can you recommend a good hand split? My husband is a small man with hands only a bit larger than mine . So a woman’s size medium .
How do you get movement back in the arm after a seizure. I had slight movement till I had a seizure.
#strokearm Hi Dr . My husband's arm movement has not returned yet since his stroke six months ago. He has a subluxed shoulder. Please tell me what we should be doing to restore the arm to the socket without surgery. We are doing range of motion exercises every day. He has slight movement in the scapula when attempting shrugs. THANK YOU!
#strokearm
Thank you Tara! I wish any of the OTs I worked with had been knowledgeable about NEURO therapy. I’m going to do the shoulder/arm/hand work every day. Would you please share your recommendation for the elbow brace?
Also, I have the Saebo stretch hand and wrist brace. Which one do you recommend?
🤗🤗🙏🙏🥰
Thanks for watching! Check out my playlist on the arm. I have videos for all of these questions :)
Can you make a video how to move my fingers, tank you very much for everything you do
Same problem i have cant open my fingers
My fingers are't elastic since I was fell brain stroke in last year.
Mam please share the video reg posture correction
Hi Dr. I'm trying to regain active finger extension and notice that by stretching whole arm, the fingers open. Will this increase tone if I keep doing it? Thks
i love u doc!!!
Thanks Dr. Tobias, yet what happened to your "Stroke Arm Exercise: how to raise the arm" video that you posted today (1/19/2020)? If I click on the notification, it says the video is private.
you should be able to click on it now :)
I have brain injury from brain radiation and when radiation necrosis became severe, I lost ability to walk because of drop foot and sat in chair or wheelchair for a few weeks and so I developed frozen shoulder from just letting it hang. (No subluxation) and I cannot shrug that shoulder. Do you think that is from the adhesions and if I can stretch my shoulder and get shoulder released then I’ll be able to shrug it again or no?
How do you strengthen the wrisr so it won't go down.
Where can I find a splint or brace for my fisted hand
Great help thanks 🙏🏻 #strokearm
I got movement on on got the hands then elbow. My shoulder keft is still stiff
8 years since a partial hemisperectomy & my involved wrist/hand offers more resistance when the hand is all splayed out, versus when it's holding something like a flexbar or dowel. I assume everybody recovers differently & what works for one won't necessarily work for everybody.
Should I use ice or heat at anytime during my home rehab?
What about saebo flex glove?
Dr I’m having pain I left side muscle above thigh pl help me in reducing pain thanks
Hello Dr Great video. How ever doctor said that I have paralysis. I noticed that my involved leg is heavy than usual hence it makes my another leg painful. What is the best treatment for it. Thank
Me also having same problem taking vitamin supplements and pregabalin
Hi Dr. Tobias.
I had a stroke early 2019, January 11th to be exact. I was released from the hospital the first or second week of March. I did month of home therapy through VNA april in to May and I saw a therapist once a week for about 4 weeks.
I feel OK for the most but my right arm moves a bit but my fingers won't extend, they will close but not tightly.
Are there any finger exercises you can recommend to assist in extending the fingers?
Try holding a bottle of beer or whiskey 🥃 and maybe glass of red wine 🍷. See if that helps because that’s exactly what i did and now thanks 🙏 to God i could really move them normally…
Mam plz make vedio about recovery of flaccid arm
I am a stroke patient and ism experiencing some pains in my left wrist my fingers and hand is swollen how can I get the swelling to go down and to get rid of the pains my fingers are curled up to some extent
morning im a stroke patiened , for 11 months my problems is fisted hands end my feet not flat . thank you
Imstroke 5monfhd ago my left srmd i csnt rise my left arms
That's very helpful thnx but my hand keeps stretching all the time why is that and my arm too!
It is most likely spasticity. Some people the arm flexes up and some people might have extensor spasticity where the arm extended involuntarily. I speak mostly of flexor (the arm flexes up involuntarily) because that is the more common.
I am able to use my left hand holding
3 years Post stroke and initially the recovery was going good. Later the reverse is happening, more tightness, more spastic, more painful.
I love it I also have stroke I'm happy for you
Can I wear a. Strap hold it an open position to sleep
will using the ab wheel help the arm to reduce spas.
Hmm, I am not sure. Everyone is different and different things will work for different people to get the muscles to relax. I have never used this to "reduce spasticity". But hey, if it works, keep going!! :)
My hand is clenched shut, but by wrist bends so my fist is pointing upwards, and not in towards my body. I did have 2 surgeries. One to lengthen the tendons, and one to cut the tendons.
I had my stroke almost 11 years ago. I did receive Botox, but was off of it for about a year due to moving and having to find a new Dr to do them.
My hand surgeon and Botox Dr decided that Botox would no longer be beneficial.
I have not had Botox for 2 years. I had a Baclofen pump put in October of 2020. It has helped some. I did physical therapy for 5 weeks to help with tight muscles.
I restarted Botox today…5/25/2021.
I guess my question is…is it normal for my wrist to be in this position ?
The demonstration part of the video has no sound. I used the closed captioning
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
Thanks thanks Sroke arm#
my stroke hand is opened most of the time but while I am walking, the hand fisted all the time how to help the hand stay open while I am walking?
The audio is not working from 5:11.
#strokearm
Also after my ischemic stroke I have a g -tube and can’t lay on my stomach to do exercises. My knee is stiff what are the different types of exercises to loosen the stiff knee and get my effected side foot. That is pointing to side and not straight up and down
Thanks so much and remain blessed
Thanks for watching! These are very common problems. I have several helpful videos in the stroke playlist on this channel.
Doctor my question to you is can I rip the tendon off the bone by stretching my hand too much or is that that possible
Thanks for commenting! this is a great question. Pain is a great "alert" that you are causing damage. If this is a concern of yours, I HIGHLY recommend you work with a physical therapist or consult your doctor to get recommendations if this exercise is safe for you. I hope this helps.
Have been using fit me but am going to do activity while watching tv I call it white time what an easy way to be using time effectively to become more effective again
I love this attitude! Yes, you can make "general down time" therapy :)
Love to say hi from a very hot and dry South Africa my fingers are much better but as from tomorrow we are going turps active your method of standing as I feel I have reached a Plato and need to get moving. Forward againursula

Thank you Dr Tara for this informative video but I think if you have demonstrate on real patient that would most beneficial
Thank you for watching and for the feedback.
Three years post stroke how can I regain function in my hands.
Sharmen Williams Thanks for watching. That is an excellent question and I get a lot of comments asking about that. If you have a hand that has a tendency to go into a fist, you really wanna work on the stuff I show in these videos. Learning how to get their hand to relax before you can really get good quality movement in the muscles that open the hand. So hopefully you will focus on those videos. I do plan to do some more videos on the hand though so stay tuned. :-)
Hmm I can't even due the shoulder thing at 9:25 with my good arm feels like I'm breaking my arm.
It's been 50 years since my stroke at the age of ten and my right hand has been closed for that long.
Just waiting on my wrist and fingers but it’s taking so long 🙄
I have the opposite problem. I can't as yet make a fist.
is the note of this video ,applicable to TBI patient with the half body not working?
Thanks for watching! absolutely. Any of the videos with stroke in the title will also help with a TBI :)

My hand is tight when I’m anxious. My neurologist told me the hand is probably the last thing to come back because of where it is in the brain
In 2022😁
