Well done Tara! Went home grabbed a painters pole and began immediately. For others I had a brain stem stroke 5 years ago with complete paralysis of the left side. Never give up! While I am not acting like a 16 year old physically I am mobile, I do drive, and for a 68 year old man I continue to improve. One last word of caution, I have had setbacks, hot sweats when trying to walk my left leg would not lift, and left foot toes curling under my foot that had to be stretched out by hand. Neural rehab after stroke is not kind, nor is it easy. It takes effort and determination.
Thanks for sharing Mark! Your words are sure to inspire others who are on a similar journey.
Another great video. You may recall I'm a former practicing physician who had a stroke in April of 21 with left sided weakness, especially in my left arm where I had some profound spasticity and weakness, which subsided after about 3 weeks, but I had to focus on getting my arm swing back. My therapists had me do some of the exercise you illustrate in this video. My uncle just had the same stroke. I will recommend that he watch your videos. At 7 months, I am bowling 18 games a week and playing some bass guitar. I've watched your videos since I was in the hospital in April. Thank you. You've been a big help to me!
Yes!! I am so glad to hear you are back to doing the things you love!! Thank yo us much for sharing this and for sharing the videos 😊
Excellent explanation Dr Tobias. Thankfully I can now drive my arm down and keep it down. In the early days it was very flexed and was always worse when I anxious out in public. Again hard work and time definitely pays off.
Great ideas here. Im definitely going to do these
God bless you Dr Tobias here I am a newbie helping my 7 year old (tbi recovery) and learning everything I can along the way with the help of our therapists here in the UK it’s invaluable to see your content alongside this journey.

Loving this mid week gem 💎
Hi Tamara! So great to see you mid week!! Glad you like this one :)
Thank you Dr, Tara for all your videos, including your recent video on abnormal muscle synergies in the arm. My left arm flexes up and inward when I walk. Using the dowel rod is helpful...will keep practising on this one and next will try raising my arms to the ceiling . Your videos along with your positive attitude have helped me immensely. I only wish I had heard about your videos much earlier right after my hemorrhagic stroke. I now follow your sessions on Rehab-HQ faithfully. Thank you very much.
This Holiday Season, I wish you one that is perfect right from the very start; one that is filled with special joys with your family and friends. Many Blessings throughout 2022.
Warm regards,
Lena M.
It’s fantastic how much information you share with us Doc!!!! God bless you and your family, merry xmas!!!!!
Very good advice! Thanks!:)
Hello again and thank you as always Dr Tobias I hope you're having a great holiday season
Hi TJ!! Great to see you mid week. I hope you had a fun/relaxing/peaceful Thanksgiving! :)
Very useful for MS too. Thank you!
Absolutely!
Thanks for the explanation, with the progress of rehabilitation, that reaction weakens, but as soon as I have more effort, such as climbing, lifting my bag, etc., it immediately intensifies. These exercises will surely speed up the breaking of that pattern. Have a nice week.
Excellent, thanks!
Thanks for sharing this video I try this
I really like your idea of standing backwards toward the chair! I've been losing my posture to a forward lean, it's not just annoying, it's becoming painful. I'm post-stroke 2018, affected on my left side. Thanks Tara! Don't think I cud get thru this without your vids! 🥰👋
Hi Elysian, I am so glad to learn these videos are helping you😊 Keep going!! You got this!!
Thank you!
this video helps a lot to me.
Excellent!
🌸🌸🌸 Dear Dr. Tara, this is such a cool video. The arm plopping up as soon as walking starts is still sometimes a thing for me. So I take the mobile phone in the hand to give it a bit of weight and to get the thumb spastic under control.
In the evening on the sofa I do your arm stretch with an old golf club, that is so nicely easy to grab 😀😀.
Wishing you and your family a very beautiful holiday season! 🌸🌸🌸
Great to “see” you Nina! I always love it when you pop in here 😊 Once again, you have some excellent ideas! Thanks for sharing! Chico and I wish you a happy Holiday season 😊🐶

Finally found about shoulder forward and low
Hi Dr Tobias. Hope you are doing well.
Thanks you sharing videos and guiding us
Could you please suugest some videos for scissors walk. It would be a great help
Thanks and Regards
I've been using motus nova for my arm and since then my tone has decreased and my walking has improved! Thank you Tara for all these helpful videos
Great to see you mid-week Lucy! Thanks for sharing this tip :)
Lucy you've inspired me! Thanks! 👍
@@elysianfields8461 oh thank you so much!
Fantastic video with a lot of things to try. I know that this video is about the upper extremity. What I have found for the legs that helps me. I have an articulating AFO and with that I dorsey flex my ankle by leaning forward and then place a wedge namely a cap from a medication bottle and wedge my in that position while I sit and read, ect for at least a couple of hours breaking up the hip,knee and ankle
Hi Fred! Great to see you mid-week! This is a excellent idea! To add to the rationale, sometimes when you “calm” spasticity in one area, it will cause the other areas to relax as well. 😊
Thank you very much for the video. Your Videos helped and are still helping me a lot
One suggestion what I'm doing. Is walk with me arms behind me. Do you think it's a good idea or not? I can't use my right arm at all and the spasticity was really bad.
Thanks for additional videos I always use my stationary bike what benefits thus it help in my walking
Thank you for those information to help my hand. Mind hand does that. Where could I get that rod. Pauline
Hi Pauline! I went to Home Depot..to the Plumbing Dept! They cut me my own! And I love Tara's ideas w the pole! It has really helped me improve my balance!! As I was starting to lean forward far too much. (I am post-stroke) Best of Luck!!
Thanks for the mid-week video!
Your response to the question, “Why is this so important?” really struck me …
“Because to continue to progress your walking back to normal, you really need to uncouple that upper body and lower body.”
I’m sure you’ve said that before. It makes sense with some of your exercises. But, it sunk in. 😊
Glad to hear it Randy 😊 Btw, I am a firm believer that we, as humans, hear what we are ready to hear. With that said, never hurts to go back a watch an old video a second time. I always appreciate you sharing your "take-a-ways". I hope you are still sticking to your new habit!! 😉 (daily therapy)
Hello Dr. You really are a heaven sent i was wondering how long should we work on this exercises? should we do it until the sesynergy pattern is gone?
Iam total left side paralysis therapist sees no improvement the pain is unbearable when I try to do some things she said I have lost hope right aide is hurting from over use compensation I hope tobe able to start some of your exercises thank you for making them
I would like to thank you So much i like u
I understand the different synergy patterns have different names. What would you call my synergy pattern? Luckily, I don't have extreme spasticity in my left arm. I can lift it over my head and in and out, but when I do foot lift exercises on my left foot my hand clenches up. What would you call this synergy?
Are you able to use real pts to demonstrate the exercises to get a better feel on working with the resistance/and or weakness.
I always hold my affected right hand with my left hand when i walk. Just to improve my balance.
Dr. Tarra - I am 35 years old. How long does it take to reduce Spasticity and abnormal synergy pattern naturally?
Dr Tara, a little help? I had a subluxation of my left shoulder how can I put my arms back? Suggestions? I appreciate a lot.
Hi Omar! Great question! go to the TH-cam search bar and type "rehab hq and shoulder subluxation". I have a few videos on this :)
Need more wrist exercises
How often should I do these? I had a Stroke 12 years ago. I am very active but my arm is still spastic and bothers me. Should I do this before my regular workout or after?
My arm really bothers me when I walk and has really decreased my confidence when walking. Walking is hard so obviously it immediately starts moving towards my body and a little upward in my belly area...so my elbow is sort of bent outward. I have the ability to straighten it...but it will keep doing it as long as l continue walking or doing something that takes effort. I always straighten it whenever I notice it creeping up...i don't know what else to do to break the habit. Will it eventually get any better as long as I keep adjusting it? Am I doing enough? In February I will be a year post stroke. Please let me know!
I want to ride a bike again. After a stroke. Y foot and leg turn in and won’t stay on pedals, What can I do?
I had a small stroke in January 2014 my left arm is bad wrist down fingers not straight very porr use of left hand but raising arm and it all is very bad when I dress putting left arm in sleeve I shake mucho can not put socks on need help since very young age chiropractors for my spine here in nursing home was told by nurse needed is orthopedics I have been trying to go there but they will not allow my senorita to come nearly two years to help out I once had very bad shits sepsis that nearly killed me I left the place went elsewhere my life was saved very close to death I am two years us army veteran their medical will only do so mucho for me was in northport Suffolk county Long Island New York first there the best then this now the stroke small before now 3x high blood pressure passed out like automobiles volks dating business medical care health or more there is always good bad but I hope you all donot suffer as I am not proper care it only over time makes it worse now new illness from South Africa coming starting in USA I could have been mucho worse as I have seen in newspapers tv or real on scenes getting nice rehabilitation driving again as I would love to do and never forgot how somethings learned we never forget how to do have a nice day if adios until
What do you do when your arm is does not curl up and it stays to the side?
Something I've done for sometime now I roll constantly w a 2lb wrist weight,
My pt says the only way to block this is to have a baclifin pump into my spine. Not doing that. But I need a cane to walk
I hold my hand on my gluts, when I walk or sit down and uses it to control my mouse to stop my arm from bending slightly, to stop my spasticity
This is a great idea! Thanks for sharing!!
Whenever I am under stress my upper limb starts unusual movements what is this phenomenon called in hemiplegia patients
Thanks for the question! Combination of abnormal movement synergy and spasticity. I hope that helps!
wrist and fingers still unusable after 4 yr , will it ever come back???
Hello Prasoon Sharma, I cannot answer your question; but I’m wondering the same; I am close to 3 years and have no function of my left arm\hand.
Thank you for your question! I have lots of videos on this channel regarding the hand. I explain what to expect in those videos :)
Do not lose hope, the fist is the last to recover. You have to recover your whole arm the hardest, only the persistent ones succeed. First you mentally visualize the movements, help yourself with the other hand and then your fingers start to move a bit. Only positive thinking helps, it is a process, it lasts, but it pays off. Good luck!
Hi yes it can with hard work. I'm 5 years post stroke and my finger's are opening. I had nothing in my arm or hand after my stroke.
I like to pretend that I am 50' tall and I swing my shoulders and arms. carrying a light dumbbell helps.
tooooo much talking
