Thankyou Dr. for this video, I am a stroke patient doing regular exercise. I currently walking with a little support using a wheel chair. Initially I use both arms in the wheel chair to push it while walking. But I found it more easy when I push the wheel chair using right arm and keep the left arm ( my left side is the affected one) free for swing. By watching your video it is so clear the reason behind this. Thanks a ton for your video and advices, it is really very helpful for people like me who couldn't find such expertise . I am sure this will help a lot of people like me who are striving to come back to normal after the stroke. Thanks once again, Rajesh Ravindran
I wanted to let you know that your videos are so helpful to me. I suffered two strokes 8 yrs ago and I find the excercises in your videos are still very effective in my recovery. Keep them coming!
Yes, one of MANY items to relearn after my stroke. My PT could not explain to me why it so important. Thank you. Also NEVER give up. Thank you so much.
Dr Tara, you nailed it again, I had a SAH in April, 2015. I have been making SLOW progress since, thankfully, but your videos are speeding the progress up. I had to use assistive devices for a few years and I was already thinking that the necessary use of them with my right arm had altered my arm swing as when I concentrated on swinging the arm, my hips, lack of counter rotation, would make me twist with the momentum resulting in more difficulty. I’ve ordered the recommended aids and I’m looking forward to doing the exercises you recommended, the first I’ve heard of these despite many PT sessions by several PT’s., though I was beginning to figure it out by myself. The information you provide is exceptionally on the mark and I thank you for your obvious love and concern for helping us stroke survivors to regain our lives and become the best and most able people we can be. I THANK YOU with all I have within me! Secondly, I always hear you referring to the affected side. Have you considered a video addressing when someone has spasticity in both legs? Is this uncommon? When or why does the spasticity on both sides occur? Location damage has been done in the brain? Keep up the amazingly helpful videos! Thank you again!
Thank you for watching and for leaving such and kind, motivating comment. I am so glad you find the videos helpful. This is why I do what I do. :) As far as the spasticity in both legs, yes, that is uncommon after a stroke which typically only effects one side of the body.
Love these exercises, especially the gym ball & the one with the rod. I’ve done a lot with the ball, going back to my pre-stroke days, but didn’t realize this one could be so helpful with my walking stride. Thanks!
Dear Dr. with love and a humble heart thank you so much for your Amazing advice and help and time that you give.. My husband is coming on .. Blessings to you and all watching. Never give up❤
Thank you for watching. This makes me so happy. I am happy to be able to help people who do not live close to my clinic. I am grateful for TH-cam to provide a platform to do this. I also appreciate that you share such positive feedback. It is truly what keeps me going.
Super exercises and explanations, thank you Dr. Tara! 🙏 Especially love the rotation with the rod. It also stretches and challenges the upper arm muscles which tend to shorten with the high tone. Gives a nice stretch feeling. Many thanks again 💝💛💝.
Thanks for watching! And for taking the time to share your progress. I am so glad to hear this and I am sure this motivated others in this community to keep going. Keep us posted on your progress!! :)
Orlando Neuro Therapy Orlando Neuro Therapy Dear Dr. Tara, so far, I've gone through a longer period of recovery. The surgery doctor said I only have 30% probability of survival.After coma, I had severe Spasticity. My physical therapist said I can only walk to my neighbor's house in my life. At that same time, I am studying for PhD. Although I didn't continue to my Phd, I can walk like a normal person now.But some details should be practiced more like foot drop, the strength of knee, and also arm swing and so on. Your videos help me a lot, I practice every day. Thank you. Although there are many difficulties and obstacles, I still believe that through my efforts, I have been improving. In my current situation, I'm so worried about my arm, especially my hand. So I hope please you could upload the videos about hand, although I know the progress is that first shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand. I could follow your videos and practice more and more. I appreciate a lot. Dr. Tara, Thank you for your guidance and company. Patients like me, let's work hard together!
Thank you so much for watching! I am so glad you are feeling comfortable commenting. We all would appreciate you insights when and if you feel comfortable to share. We all learn better together ;)
Thank you very much,dear Dr.Tara, for your hard work!!Only your competent lessons help to understand, how to properly perfom exercises, that move towards recovery. Thank you!!!
hello dr tobias when it comes to relearning how to walk it's been six years since my stroke, what i've learned is I have developed bad habits when it comes to walking:swinging my leg out and hitching my hip is what is holding my back keeping erect is the biggest thing, hunchingprevented my developing the tension in my quadracep needed to bend my knee, If I had the ability to use my affected arm I think I would be walking, the ability to trust my left ankle has been key, I'll get there when I do I would like to thank you for your dedication to this channel,I've learned a lot, since I have had more than one OT tell me I have little hope of regaining use of my left arm, you have been much appreciated.
My spouse has no sensation on one side. It’s been years since his stroke. He doesn’t have neglect (he has an affected right side) but he isn’t using what he doesn’t feel. Seeing more spasticity with time and rather than swinging the arm, he is curling it and drawing it into his body and sometimes just doesn’t move it. This definitely affect his balance now.
Definitely keep the why. It’s what makes your videos good I think and definitely helps with my motivation to do stuff. Now I have to stop watching you to avoid overloading 😂 . One thing at a time .
Wow this excercise seem to be very helpful, I have been struggling to swing my hand , and this is the best I have found, I will work with this excercise and tell you the result thankyou Tobis❤️
Thank you Tara. I can swing my arms, but sometime I still kind of dragging my affected leg a little. Sorry if this is out of topic. Please help, what kind of exercise to eliminate dragging leg.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story! There are a variety of reasons why you might be dragging your foot. Check out the playlist "hip and walking exercises". I think you can find some videos on that playlist that will help.
'Tara' is a Bengali word, in English it means star. You and your program is like a star. I got stroke last year of the last day of February still I have problem on my hand rotation and wrist. please do some exercise for wrist movement. thank you for your work
You talk about being unstable and I’ll tell you how my walking looks. It looks as though I’m a puppet on a string whose operator has had too much to drink😂
Thanks for watching! This is a perfect exercise if you have Parkinson's disease. You are most likely dealing with the "rigidity" that I mention in the video. The laying down exercises will help with the rigidity. Also check out the Parkinson's Disease playlist where I have another video talking about arm swing.

excellent! if i may ask do you have any similar video about hip rotators and gluteus medius (which is the hip stabilizer if i understand correctly) thx and great work!
I live with two friends who are older than I am and one of them has Parkinson's so she has trouble with arm swings and the other one just had knee surgery and he is osteo arthritis in pretty extreme. The the husband with the osteoarthritis he does excessive I'm swinging with his left side because he wears a Fitbit and I'm worried that it's going to make him fall. And he's being very stubborn about trying to walk too fast and he also will start walking without the walker occasionally just so he can swing his arm so he's bit bit registers his steps. Anyway he's really big compared to his wife whose 4'11. Without all the typos as he was probably 6'1 and he's been losing weight but he was massively overweight so here's a lot of mass in the center of his body and I go to work and I worry.
Hi I’m 15 and I have social anxiety and get anxious while walking so it makes me not swing my arms and I can’t normally swing them, how can I fix that!
#strokearm Dr. Tara Tobias,just want to say that my arm is much loose now after I did the arm exercise from your past videos. And I can stretch it more now (downwards).need to learn how to sway while walking. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Dr T Great why & how - used walking frame for 2 years. On 2 sticks for the last 2 wks. Is this productive or counterproductive? In the natural way to move. Cheers D
Doctor you are awesome. You have answers for everything. Can you kindly clarify whether your advice is only for stroke patients or even for patients suffer from spine related neuro issues?
Thanks for watching! That is a great question! Yes, most of the explanations are about how to get the body to move efficiently. So, anyone who is weak or having trouble walking will find value in these explanations :) The "benefit" of having more of a spinal issue is that you are further down the "hierarchy of motor output". What that means is that things like attention, concentration, and some higher level "thinking" that occurs with movement will not be an issue for someone with a spinal injury. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you doctor. I have already started doing the relevant exercises. I am quite positive that shortly I will be seeing the results. Thanks once again
Hello tara, I found you thru the support group I'm in. Your such a big help. My stroke was Dec. 16 2019. Thank u again. My question is what is a good exercise for strengthen the hip and or leg muscles
Thank you for watching and for commenting! if it is in both legs, it might be just the way your legs are built. Does it cause pain or interfere with any activities?
@@rehabhqofficial yes, it does. If i stand for more than 10 minutes in one location i have severe pain while sitting down or on chair and I can't do squats or else my legs swell up. I need help.
Dr. Tobias, i follow your channel every week. What i have notice, that you never speak about finger and how you gain power in your finger. I am 52 and had a brainstem stroke in februari 2017. What is the diffrent between a brain stroke and stroke. I mean a inschemic, whitout any bleeding.
Had surgery on my hip, broke it, broke my shoulder, no surgery, heal my itself. Now, 3 1/2years later still walk good. had another fall 1 1/2 yrs ago. My balance, the pain and my walking is still not good. The Dr, said since Im slim the screws is irritating my skin thats why Im still in pain. Another surgery to take the scews out will cure the pain. Dont want that so Im still exerciseing. Can you suggest any other exerciser I can do?
What if you don't even have a previous injury ? Why would someone not swing their arms when walking ? Should they have swinging arms and therefore do these exercises too.
supeb video! i m also struggling to get my arm swing while walking. my arm gets stiffer and rises up in new situations, clearly it seems to me more due to anxiety of being in a new surrounding, or is ut so? thanks for this video i m going to try your excercise for a month and share my feedback.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your story!! The issue you are having with your arm is very common. Stress and unfamiliar/new situations can make this worse. This video might help: th-cam.com/video/gct-2dqLObs/w-d-xo.html (part 1); th-cam.com/video/wOlzfPLl-aY/w-d-xo.html (part 2)
Hi mam I don’t have the exercise ball can table work instead of ball and can you lay down on floor instead of matt? Also don’t have disc can we improvise with a cloth on floor to get same effect sorry but unable to spend so much on gadgets thanks for wonderful help love ❤️ you!!!
I LOVE the “ Why”!!! It’s making HUGE difference in my progress. Please never stop telling “Why” ❤️
jaqui stanley could not agree more!
Yes, I love the “Why” too! It makes leaning more efficient!
I always ask my PT why ?
Same for me as well
I don’t see the link for the mat

I wanted to let you know that your videos are so helpful to me. I suffered two strokes 8 yrs ago and I find the excercises in your videos are still very effective in my recovery. Keep them coming!
I am so happy to read this. Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment!
Yes, one of MANY items to relearn after my stroke. My PT could not explain to me why it so important. Thank you. Also NEVER give up. Thank you so much.
Thank you to the two people that commented. This video will definitely help my mother. Thank you for the information.
This is what I love about our community. People helping people 😊
Thanks for your explanation! I have had to tell my MS PT that I need to know why I am doing the exercises!
Yes it seems silly but I forgot how to walk and these videos are helpful to me.
Dr Tara, you nailed it again, I had a SAH in April, 2015. I have been making SLOW progress since, thankfully, but your videos are speeding the progress up. I had to use assistive devices for a few years and I was already thinking that the necessary use of them with my right arm had altered my arm swing as when I concentrated on swinging the arm, my hips, lack of counter rotation, would make me twist with the momentum resulting in more difficulty.

Love the exercise above swinging of the arm I got my stroke 5year now I can't swing my arm
Love these exercises, especially the gym ball & the one with the rod. I’ve done a lot with the ball, going back to my pre-stroke days, but didn’t realize this one could be so helpful with my walking stride. Thanks!
Thank you ,I’m learning to swing my arms after a stroke .
Thanks for the longer, more extended demonstrations. This is very helpful! I appreciate this approach. I try to mimic what you do as much as possible.
Dear Dr.

You are the only One who tells about Why factor... Very informative videos. Keep it up...❤️❤️
Going to add these to my workout routine! Hopefully this will get rid of my “Frankenstein” walk! Thank you!
Super exercises and explanations, thank you Dr. Tara! 🙏 Especially love the rotation with the rod. It also stretches and challenges the upper arm muscles which tend to shorten with the high tone. Gives a nice stretch feeling. Many thanks again 💝💛💝.

Once again, a video that nails the mark! Thanks, Tara! I use a Hemi walker but I'm still a bit rigid
Thanks for watching and for commenting!! This should definitely help. Especially the exercises laying down and seated. :)
I seriously appreciate the why. Understanding the why helps with adapting certain exercises.
Yes! The why is so so important :)
The why? is superb. Love the why?

Hi Dr T

Is this productive or counterproductive? In the natural way to move.
Cheers D
Hi Davide, great question! Absolutely a step up :)
Thanks

Can we please see these exercises with stroke survivor?
I have ocd and my arms don’t swing naturally, so I don’t know what step to take first. I’m a right handed male
Apologize did not know this a pay site wont bother again.THANX😢
Doctor you are awesome. You have answers for everything. Can you kindly clarify whether your advice is only for stroke patients or even for patients suffer from spine related neuro issues?
Thanks for watching! That is a great question! Yes, most of the explanations are about how to get the body to move efficiently. So, anyone who is weak or having trouble walking will find value in these explanations :) The "benefit" of having more of a spinal issue is that you are further down the "hierarchy of motor output". What that means is that things like attention, concentration, and some higher level "thinking" that occurs with movement will not be an issue for someone with a spinal injury. I hope that makes sense.
Thank you doctor. I have already started doing the relevant exercises. I am quite positive that shortly I will be seeing the results. Thanks once again

Hey, my both leg are in outward directions from knee to feet. I have duck type leg. What type of exercise should i do to strengthen my knee and heel?
Thank you for watching and for commenting! if it is in both legs, it might be just the way your legs are built. Does it cause pain or interfere with any activities?
@@rehabhqofficial yes, it does. If i stand for more than 10 minutes in one location i have severe pain while sitting down or on chair and I can't do squats or else my legs swell up. I need help.
Is doing pelvic tilts on exercise ball the same as doing it with the tilt disc?
Hi Franny! yes, but harder :)
Nut i hv elbow flexion, will botox solve it?
Dr. Tobias, i follow your channel every week. What i have notice, that you never speak about finger and how you gain power in your finger. I am 52 and had a brainstem stroke in februari 2017. What is the diffrent between a brain stroke and stroke. I mean a inschemic, whitout any bleeding.

Thanks for watching and for sharing your story! These exercises should help :)
Help me my one hand doesn't swing while l walk
I feel I have to swing my arms consciously otherwise i lose balance
I tried this but my shoulder and/or arm is to tight to swing. I look like I’m having a seizure or something it’s just not natural looking s :(
Thanks for sharing Steve!! Keep stretching. Stretching is your best friend.
The reasonnican't swing my arms is because of flexor synergy pattern with my arms curling ip in front of my chest
I have a hard time walking in a straight line, if I’m trying to walk through a door I usually end up missing the door opening 😩

Thank you for watching and for sharing your story!! The issue you are having with your arm is very common. Stress and unfamiliar/new situations can make this worse. This video might help: th-cam.com/video/gct-2dqLObs/w-d-xo.html (part 1); th-cam.com/video/wOlzfPLl-aY/w-d-xo.html (part 2)
My arms are swinging but it doesn’t coordinate with my opposing leg, will these help my coordination?
Thanks for sharing and for watching! Yes, this should help. It is really hard to "coordinate arm swing". This should help. :)
Talk about bobath concept
If I just rotate at my hips and not arm swing, will that work? Because my arm is so tight it’s hard to do
Thanks for the comment! the exercises laying down and seated would be best for you :)
Orlando Neuro Therapy will do
I no longer have spactisity in my affected arm it try’s to swing but it ends up just banging on to my thigh
I can't swing my right arm. Yes i do the robot walk everyday and i desperately want to correct it. I have no dorsiflexion in my right foot.
My left arm does not do anything. But I can do all the things in the video. Need more help moving arm. Have great core. Bad arm
I'm traying this for 15 days
Great! Please keep us all posted on your progress :)
Hi mam I don’t have the exercise ball can table work instead of ball and can you lay down on floor instead of matt? Also don’t have disc can we improvise with a cloth on floor to get same effect sorry but unable to spend so much on gadgets thanks for wonderful help love ❤️ you!!!
