Thank you so much DR. !!! I have foot drop exercise for at least a month, And TODAY, APRIL 1, 2024 MONDAY MORNING, I CAN LIFT MY RIGHT FOOT!!! 😊😋🤗 THANK YOU!!!
So happy for you!😃 My mom has had a stroke with right side affected. She has foot drop. So I’ll be using these exercises with her. Thank you and God bless. Keep on exercising!!😃👍🏼💪🏼
Thanks from London left Brain haemorrhage Stroke affecting my right limbs. I survived 4 days in my bathtubs unconscious with no water or food until my employer received the authorisation to break down my front door. Thank God they did. Later they learned I had let out the bathwater knowing I might have drowned. The moral of the story is that it pays to always show up on time at work! Great TH-cam video on Drop Foot. With my AFO I can now very slowly walk one Kilometre or 3/4 of a Mile without stopping. I had my brain haemorrhage in London having returned from extended trip for business in the Middle East 7 hours earlier.
Thanks and appreciation to you for your relentless efforts, time and dedication aiming to motivate and guide the millions of stroke survivors who have got helpless & hopeless...You not only read and like the comments of the patients but also reply to each & every one of them with the best possible guidance..Above this too, you even make videos to address an individual patient’s problems by reading their comments...Hats off to such a dedication & your love towards your viewers and patients😍❤️❤️...just keep it up Dr. Elyse👍👍
I had a terrible hypoxic brain injury, and a little bit of left foot drop. I even badly broke my nose ten years ago when I tripped on a sidewalk. I never have exactly done exercises directly for my foot drop, but about 4 years ago, I got back into jogging. I know this might sound dangerous, but because I was always purposely lifting my feet higher when I run, foot drop was never issue. I began at the gym by walking on the treadmill. I then jogged, holding on. Then I jogged not holding on. I finally worked my way to jogging outside. I ended up getting 3rd place in a 5K pre pandemic.
Your my idol! I used to jog and loved it. Then I stroked out at 36 years old. Now, almost 10 years later, I have severe foot drop, the ankle rolls, and a waddle walk. Of course I'm extremely grateful I walk, talk, and still here but my hip and joints ache from my gait being so off for so long. Congrats on your recovery, your an inspiration.
Great exercise routine. I noticed that you are not using your right hand. This is a good thing because it normalizes the reality of a stroke survivor. Make it as real as possible! You are making amazing videos. I love reading your email every day. You are truly getting this right. Keep it up. You’re doing a great job!
@elizabethalden, Thank you so much for the kind words and for the feedback. I really appreciate it. It's a bit complicated to bring stroke survivors into my videos right now but it's something I'm working towards in the future. I'll bear your feedback in mind for future videos ❤️
Thanks so much for these exercises. I haven't had a stroke, but I do have mild Parkinson's disease and these exercises help me increase my movement and improve my walking. Thank you. 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I’m recovering for a trimalleolar ankle fracture and this is so helpful also for this kind of injuries! I’ll do this excercises everyday. 🙏🏽💐💐💐
I had problems with my left foot dragging after my stroke and learned from my therapist that these exercises helped my brain to retrain these muscles to work properly. So yes strokes are a brain thing and the brain is also a muscle. were useful to help my brain retrain these
Sorry meant to say my muscles have to be retrained by my brain to use my muscles properly. It's only been 3 months since I had a mild stroke but I'm improving every day and these exercises are helpful.
Thank you again, you are the first one showing me how to get the ankles and toes into movement. However my foot is still pointing inwards hence a belt or strap around it is difficult. Will try the sitting and weight shifting excersises and try to get the foot into the desired direction.
I had a hip surgery which left me with a drop foot that was 8yrs ago. Now I am wearing ankle brace which has an elastic strap to my shoe that lifts the front of the foot I find it very good stops me from tripping and falling
THANK U SO MUCH FOR THESE FOOT DROP EXCERCISES. NEED TO KNOW MAAANY DIFFERENT MOVES PLEASE. SOMETIMES I FEEL TIRED WHAT DO YOU DO TO HELP ON THAT FOOT DROP LEG??
hi i just did today Mri brain scan half of the brain was white lession matter i did not ask what that means i will get the results next week but i have big problems with walking and balance can that white leasion matter be that bad part for making me weak ?!
You are awesome! I have had foot drop for almost a year now. I don't know what happened, but my doctor thinks it was possibly a stroke. The patient wait lists have been really long since covid, so am still waiting to see a neurologist. My foot is really stuck pointing downward. I also have toes curling and spastic. To make matters worse, I can't lift my left arm all the way, and doctor thinks that that is a rotator cuff tear likely from falling with the foot drop, not sure because I don't remember having had a stroke. I'm afraid to see the neurologist, afraid of painful tests, just afraid. I've been living with this almost a year now. Afraid it might not get completely better. I need to get this foot moving. I wish this video was available a year ago because I think it will help so many. Thank you for this.
@bo, Thanks so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! I'm sorry to hear about what's been going on. I think it's very normal to feel afraid of seeing a neurologist or tests. Not knowing what's going on with you can be very scary, too. If you work up the courage, you may get some answers to what's been going on! But until then, I hope you can find some support from my videos. ❤️
Thanks for all your videos/tips. Much appreciated! Any tips for hip/glute spasticity? Focus always seems to be on calves but I feelmuch of my struggle comes from hip/glute issues…
Yes! Absolutely. I actually have a video just for hip spasticity you may find helpful: 6 Stretches to Improve Hip Spasticity After Stroke th-cam.com/video/vn7RpLJF6Cg/w-d-xo.html
Great video, Elyse! I think I mentioned my story on one of your earlier videos, but I've been keeping up with all of your content-TH-cam videos, email newsletters-and I feel as if you're reading my mind. The topics you cover are so true to my experience as a stroke survivor (which is rare, because no two strokes are alike), your understanding of the mental situation (the motivation dips, lack of self-love) of a survivor is unmatched, and your science-based interventions align perfectly with everything I've discovered slowly and painfully in my one year of post-stroke experimentation. One personal request I have is about using mirror therapy and e-stim interventions correctly. I was very hypertonic to start, and now I'm "loose" after eliminating a good amount of tone. For survivors in this situation with a need to go from zero movement to active movement, are mirror therapy and NMES the best tools? And how do we navigate these waters correctly?
@mingjiawang, Wow! Thank you so much. I'm truly just glad that you find my content so helpful ❤️ And thank you for the question/request. My usual recommendations based on the available evidence is for someone with "low muscle tone" aka hypotonicity or flaccidity without much active movement is to start with mirror therapy, mental practice, and something called action observation (watching someone else do an exercise or activity) . I have videos on both mirror therapy (th-cam.com/video/5zwsN44wQbQ/w-d-xo.html) and mental practice (th-cam.com/video/cG7XREpe-cQ/w-d-xo.html). As far as NMES goes, there's mixed evidence, meaning some articles support it and some don't for stroke recovery. Some studies show that using NMES during mirror therapy can be more beneficial than mirror therapy alone. My typical response to someone wanting to try it, is that if you're cleared by your doctor and it's not hurting you, it's probably okay to try it out!
You always seem to post video's about certain body areas just when I need them. what do you do if during the calf stretch your foot doesn't come straight up but, goes to the inside or tilts to the inside.Thank you for all you do.
@pameladavies, This is a great question. Instead of using the belt, you may do better placing a large book, heavy box, or aerobic step on the floor. You may get straighter movement by putting your foot on those items, then try to straighten your knee and bend forward at your hips into the stretch. You'll have more surface area to place your foot on. Thanks for asking. Let me know if this method works for you!
@ POST STROKE @ STROKE SURVIVORS What if from the stroke cannot walk, bend ankles up and down and cannot move wriggle the toes at all? Any exercises and tips that will help be able to move this again? Anyone have these symptoms? What did you do to recover? How long did it take?
@sendlocation8476 If you have no movement at all, you may find techniques like mental practice, active visualization, and mirror therapy helpful. Check with your doctor or therapist on what techniques will be most beneficial for you!
I just had a stroke and can’t stand the pain in my left foot. Can’t bend in either direction or step with it. I had an xray because I thought it was broken. No break. But I can’t flex it. It’s terribly painful. Even when trying to move the foot with the hand.
@AliceTendo I would first talk with their doctor to see what they recommend. If the doctor clears them for exercise, it could be helpful to start with gentle stretching and range of motion.
Is there anyway I can do to get my ankle and knee to bend when I walk? I wear an afo with a hinge but all my movements come from my hip. My PT&OT have discharged me.
Hey there! It’s difficult to give specific advice without seeing you. Generally, any exercises you can do focus on knee flexors/ankle dorsiflexors as well as stretching to combat knee extensor and ankle plantar flexor spasticity should be helpful. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend checking out @RehabHQ TH-cam channel. Dr. Tara Tobias is a neuro PT with lots of videos on walking you may find helpful!
Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful! Tara is such a wonderful resource and she has an extensive library of topics. I hope you find what you’re looking for there in the meantime. ❤️
I'm really going through this now please can anyone show me how to solve this issue please. I am just 34 i need to get busy😢 please is there any medicine i can take??????
Good question! So for many of these exercises, you don't necessarily need toe movement since we're really focusing in on ankle movement! Currently, I don't have a toe workout though. Thank you for your comment! 😊
Good day maam. I am 50 yrs old and a stroke survivor. My problem is everytmie i lift my leg when walking my toes will curl and sometimes it hurts. Pls help me,thank you and more power.
You may benefit from evidence-based strategies like mental practice (practicing movements in your mind) and action observation (observing someone else do those movements). I have a few videos on this but primarily for arm movements. I'll make a note for future videos to do this for foot drop!
Привет из России. Отвисла стопа после компрессионно ишемического ....уснул на бетоне .отлежал ногу. И повисла стопа 7месяцев уже.стараюсь но слабо упражнения делать. Всем здоровья.спасибо.
Not really. Foot drop from stroke is very common, but can’t be corrected with, say, a boot. I’ve had two strokes with foot drop being one impact. Addressing it is a two part process: correcting shin muscle atrophy; convincing/motivating the brain to properly operate, especially, the long muscle running down the shin from, knee to ankle. Correcting this takes properly exercising this muscle for a long time, and the victim might never return to pre-stroke ability.
@jtstrong7790 i had the same thought as the original comment at first. But that's because i look at drop foot from the angle of someone with an inoperable spinal chord injury. I had no clue it was common in stroke. So, i can't lie in saying i was a bit nervous with her throwing "after stroke" around so much. It's like you have to tell yourself each time she says it "you didn't have a stroke, it doesn't completely apply to you." Or maybe it's just me. Either way, great video, with great info!!

You are scaring people with "After Stroke" comment. Foot drop or drop foot can happen for hundreds of reasons.
Not really. Foot drop from stroke is very common, but can’t be corrected with, say, a boot. I’ve had two strokes with foot drop being one impact. Addressing it is a two part process: correcting shin muscle atrophy; convincing/motivating the brain to properly operate, especially, the long muscle running down the shin from, knee to ankle. Correcting this takes properly exercising this muscle for a long time, and the victim might never return to pre-stroke ability.
