I would like to share my personal experience, that it is not good to rush with speed. In the video, it is well laid out methodically. Very well, you have already said many times, when you become very good at it, move to the next more advanced level. If we don't respect this gradualness, we will surely spoil the already learned good movements by compensating. Have a nice week.
Thank you. I have been watching your videos for a couple of months now and they have helped so much. I was put on a statin last Feb after 2 stints and with my RA it made my muscles and body not work right. In August I quit taken the statin on my on call. By December I was bed ridden. January of this yr I decide I was done with not being able to be normal again. I have watched your videos and have exercised and worked hard trying to get back to my normal self. I didn't have a heart attack or a stroke but your videos have helped me to walk again. I still can't get up from a normal height chair or toilet but I'm getting better slowly but surely. Thank you!
This is so helpful...weak leg post laminectomy 20 years ago, limited big toe for 55 years...Finally found a podiatrist who suggested a Morton's extension which I was given in college but never since! That simple little carbon steel plate has made a huge difference!! So, now I have to strengthen my legs and deal with having had to favor one side. This video really is so comprehensive ....THANK YOU!!!
I was out for a walk and found myself following behind a tiny little Italian lady ahead of me. She was a similar age but was easily leaving me behind. I am 195m tall. She stopped at the shop so I introduced myself, Gina her name was and I pointed out my problem...we laughed at it!
Thank you so much for sharing this, Ms. Tobias! I believe that combining this with your video to reduce toe curling is going to help me improve my overall gait!
I am not a particularly slow walker in general but I have lost my top speed. I used to do a 4mph pace with little trouble. Now it just feels awkward and weird to even attempt it. I think it will be well worth my while to correct whatever it is slowing me down.
Thx again. For content, you seem to know exactly what I and many others on these comments are going through. I have been trying the last couple days to do this with increasing the length of my good leg which means I'm balancing on my weaker leg for a longer time. And this is good but after decades of doing it the other way as you pointed out this will take a little time with the hemiparesis on one side.
Me again, just mentioning that when I try to take longer steps because I'm well over six feet tall that the long legs would just get out of control and spasticity effects kicked in and they would make me trip with one leg getting in the way of the other leg or like you see the ankle forcing the foot downward and me falling forward but the shorter steps even with increasing Gate speed is a wonderful answer. I am working on this and I'll tell you that walking in water is a good place for me to practice this because it's safer
This was so needed as I have a tendency to walk slower cause of my weak leg

Marching is not easy! Haha Thanks Tara
I walk slow with MS to conserve energy and go further
Excellent video4
It is very important to eat a healthy diet and exercise to keep a good walking 🚶 speed
Is xtern AFO good for foot drop after stroke?
Will it help me walk faster and better?
No one in my 5 years any therapist dine this with. Can you help me?
Ma'am I can't bend my efectecd feet backward
Wow love this vid
Dr. T, would assistive devices include AFOs/MAFOs, or are those more like walkers & quadcanes?
When in doubt, don't do it 😊
Curious about the size of the block...namely the HEIGHT. Plan to fake it with a small box or maybe a piece of a piece of cut wood!
7:44 ORRRRR you could find your favourite tune at the correct BPM and walk to that.😁
17:46 by chance, most western songs are around 120bpm.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
I prefer funk. Try old Parliament tunes.
So grate and thanks Dr ❤❤
Watch the video again 😊
FYI, it helps if you don't jump to the exercises 😊

I do the opposite, i take a bigger step with my good leg and shorter step with my bad
METRES ER SECOND IS FOKING RIDICULUS WOMAN. SHOULD BE CALCULATED BY KMS OR MILES AN HOUR.

16:47 if I was YOUR physio, I would say you were cheating, as your right leg/body is not completely straight forward ;)
this woman is talking rubbish that most older people cannot understand
