This is so awesome. I had a stroke in 2011. I've picked up some bad habits and I'm starting over fresh. Understanding why my body is doing what it is, helps tremendously. Thank you so much. So happy I found you.
Love this one! BTW: thanks for all your videos! In the matter of a day went from award winning body builder to a neurologist saying I would never get out of bed again. But now I have a new kind of body building, proving him wrong!
You are incredible. After 6 years of suffering i finally found the answers in your videos. After 2 weeks of following the exercises prescribed by you i feel 50 % better. Already leaning to walk normal. I can't thank you enough. Please keep the good work up. You are helping so many people who otherwise would suffer .
Thank you for taking the time to leave this comment. I am so glad that it is helping you and comments like this definitely encourage me to keep making these videos! So, I sincerely thank you.
Three years into my Stroke, I went from using a Platform Walker to A HEMI WALKER which I started in September 19, 2022. Now I can walk further distances each day, transfer to a toilet, and walk up and down therapy steps with help. (Started with Steps on Oct. 11, 2022), Thanks to your videos I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED A LOT since my Stroke of Dec. 2019. Thanks
One thing that is helping me transition off the cane is using a tall cane/staff/walking stick (handle is about chest high). It keeps you more upright, aligns your body to a more normal walking position so you can strengthen the muscles and get them to work together. It becomes a tool for small balance adjustments instead of relying on it as a 3rd leg.
I've been in my wheelchair for about 2 years since my stroke but lately I've been walking a little more because of my afo brace but notice my ankle is pretty weak still your videos have showed me what I need to work on to better myself and what muscle to focus on and also giving me more motivation and Hope on walking again thank you so much for doing this it means so much
Thanks so much for this series, after the stroke last year, your videos have helped immeasurably. God bless you and the work your doing for so many people! May favor be your portion!
Tara, having discovered you just a few short weeks ago has been a lifesaver! Forgive me if I gosh. Yyour manner, your intelligence, your way of explaining and demonstrating is beyond! With a product this fabulous there must be a fabulous team. So thank your helpers from me too. The local rehab gym has been closed because of Covid. One reason I miss that place is for the social interaction. First thing I’m going to do if and when we get back there is to tell everyone who might benefit about your channel!
Dr. Tobias, really really grateful for your videos. Thank you for educating us. I had a stroke 2 years ago, and a lot of my problems are exactly what you describe in your videos. Thank you so much. They're really helping me in my recovery journey. If only, I could subscribe 100 times :)))
I have a motor neuron disease called PLS. I also have spastic paraplegia. Although your info isn’t specific to my diseases I often find it very helpful to me, Thank You!!
Dear Tara, thank you for your video on losing the cane. I am six months post event with my end goal being to walk again without a cane. I have a long way to go, but your videos help anything you can do to forward a long success stories would be appreciated. What I am looking for now is hope and seeing other people have succeeded keep up the good work.
Lov the vids and info. Tough demographic, stroke patients. I have MS, male 56, working to smooth my walk. Drop ft rt side, stiffness in rt arm and hand. Keep the vids coming. Damage is damage. Did some dry needling with some success. Thks for taking it to the basics. Ever hear of patterning. Basically crawling for adults. Helping the brain to relearn or remap the basic motion. We all crawled before we walked. David
Thanks for watching and for sharing your story david! We call crawling part of the developmental sequence and yes, it is very valuable. Kneeling is also great. Here is a video that you might find helpful: Stroke is in the title but it is good for MS as well :) th-cam.com/video/Ea7cW2CdLo4/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for your videos! They help a lot. Could you please make more of the videos related to why a stroke survivo’s affected leg swings out wide to the side and exercises on how to correct it?
Thank you! Exactly what I need to do. Trying not to become dependent on the cane. My body was leaning completely on it! Thank you thank you. Your videos have helped tremendously
This a great video to practice. I have gone from a cane to a rollator. Now I am trying to walk again. All this is due to my MS. I have gotten too dependent on physical aids! Determined to walk again unassisted. Thanks for these videos.
Hi Wendy! Thanks for all the thoughtful and kind feedback. I am so glad to hear these videos are helping. I can "feel" your determination and that I am cheering you on....Never give up and keep setting new goals :)
Thank you for the video! I was wondering is this same to practice balance and walk for elderly person who did not have a stroke but is using their cane just for the safety?
Thanks very much for making these videos I have ataxia and these exercises have been great for me I work more with your video done with my therapy sessions is great having it on TH-cam
You are really really really helpful person in that earth I had seen... Here in my country every information about after stroke is like a crovded traffic in which we and my mother lost.
Excellent series of videos. I have watched them several times. Didn’t get the wall exercise at first and I now get it! I am feeling a lot more stable. Thanks for your help!
Of course, the next day, I fell back into old habits! I went back to a wider base and started to shift to leaning on the unaffected side. Back to basics again.
Hola Tara te he descubierto hace poco.🙄y para mi es una sorpresa entender lo que me pasaba...gracias a ti se mucho mas sobre mi espaticidad y estoy empezando a hacer tus ejercicios mil gracias eres genial 🤩te contaré mis progresos💪
Dear Dr Tara Tobias, Thank you so much for your videos and the time you take to give us a detailed explanation of why our body is behaving as it does when we try to do things. Your exercises are so helpful but your explanations are invaluable as they mean we can have an understanding of how to correct our posture as we go about our daily life. To be aware and overcome the compensatory movements that our body has already learnt because we have had to live life sometimes before we are physically ready. Thank you again.
Great observation, Denise. I'm quickly coming to realize the importance of the comments from other stroke survivors like yourself who post here. They are adding to my knowledge and confidence in these vocational training clusters. We can see them working for tens of thousands... and to know our efforts are not misdirected. It also helps when I see Tara performing the exercises. Her fluency with language in concert with her exquisitely timed gestures makes me want to get out more and spend some time learning how to be more expressive in public. It's one thing to write effectively, another to think and speak off the cuff when all you're thinking about is drawing as little attention to yourself as possible. This past weekend here in Maine I met a woman named Alison who lives in another state with my sister. The three of us went out to lunch together. Halfway through our lunch Alison shocked me when she revealed that she too was a stroke survivor, and after watching me struggle with a cane she wanted me to know she had lacked the confidence to navigate the 3 inch grade coming into the restaurant, and yet she had never hesitated one second to walk in unaided without cane or walker. I didn't have a clue she was handicapped. I admired her courage and told her so. She's partly why I'm here. I taught myself to walk with a cane and have not had any rehab beyond using a walker. My therapists and I developed our own version of the stride and gait taken directly out of the back of the 4,000 page Grey's Anatomy. True story. Mine are as rudimentary as it gets.
Hi I really enjoy your videos can you title your part 1 part 2 part three because I watched so many of your videos I just want to be on track and get better thank you
Hi there! First of all thank you for your videos and throughout explanations, the world needs more people and specialists like you! I would like to ask you a question. I've suffered a sever brain injury resulting in a lesion right in the centre of the motor cortex so my legs are the affected limbs, I have a little knee spasticity and foot drop/spasticity on my left leg. I can pretty much do all the movements you talked us through in your videos and I mostly walk wearing an afo brace on my affected ankle. I do find that my legs get really stiff when I sit down or don't move for a bit and don't feel completely safe walking down a hill for example, so sometimes I bring a cane along to support me in those situations. Would you have any suggestions for this?
Thanks mam for your excellent video, my body has got spasticity ,I feel my leg heavy and veru difficult to lift.I had stroke paralysis in2016 but unable to move my left hand andleg,now let me know how to start the movement of ankle
Hello Dr Tobias ..I am finding your tutorials Very helpful.. How do I strengthen my hamstring post stroke .. I can walk since my stroke but not without my cane or having my husband help me .. I DO take steps sometimes without assistance .. I feel like I no longer trust my balancing abilities .. My left side was affected in the stroke .. I am also battling hyperextension in my left knee ..How can I correct that problem ..
Dear Tara, I' saw your videos, wich are really very good. I am a Hungarian physiotherapist, and I think about some exercises what you theaching before the independent walking it's too late. I' d teach same exercises to my patients, but than when they can standing before they will walk. In that moment need to teach the good balance, if they haven't a good balance I never will to teach the walk with cane or with something else. The balance is the most inportant thing. If they have a good balance, during the walking will not have a bad ankle positions, because I'd teach that during the step exercises. Soory about my english, I can understand evry thing, but I can not to write very well. I enyojd your videos, you are a very good teacher. I 'd a big practise with stroke patients, I like to work and to teach to my patients. Thank's evry thing.
Another great video. This will definitely help me as I already walk around with and without the cane . This will help me do it more comfortable when I’m walking around outside. Of course I would try it outside when I’m comfortable doing it inside first. But I still have a little bit of a drag when walking so I’m hoping this set help with that. 👍👍
Thanks for this video and what you said about the cane I had a stroke and just learning to walk without a cane I had the spasm bad. But I'm better now.
I had a lateral plateau tibial fracture that required surgery. I was non weight bearing for 10 weeks and now at 19 weeks I’m using a cane and trying to get off the cane all together. I am still getting pain on the inside of my knee where my plate and screws are. Any recommendations?
This is very interesting. I had a bike accident the other week and landed hard on my hip. I can now walk unaided but with a limp. I believe I have psychosomatic as my brain is trying to protect my injured leg although it’s fine now. I need to put weight on it and trust it when walking. Will this video help?
My 11 year old son just got diagnosed with FND and cant walk. His legs are 100% strong. Were not 100% sure about diagnose but for the time being until we get the right treatment would these activates help him?
Love your content Dr.Tara I had a right side stroke so at the moment I can move my left arm and fingers but I can move my toes yet could you please advise me on what I can do to get my foot to move
How do I sþrengthen my hand. I"m in the 6th month since had stroke. My hand and fingers feel lifeless making it so dificult for me to exercise, please help. Thank you for your invaluable support.
And I get stuck bent at the knee can you help me please it's been eight months since my stroke I had a blood clot in my brain on the right side I have minimal movement on my left arm and cannot straighten my leg out
I seem to have packets of very hard skin on the soles of both feet and the pain throws me off balance. I have moved a lot to keep up my physical strength and I hope to be able to walk again. I do have my feet looked up regularly but the skin grows very fast.
Tata can you please label your videos with 1st 2nd or 3rd in this series so I choose the first and don’t have to keep going back and finding the earlier ones
Just discovered your channel! I have stenosis/ataxia,havent been exposed tothis stuff despite PT. Im a dentist.Is ther a video on avoiding crisscrossing legs when walking? Do you do tele-consultation
Hi Mam! I'm a single and a 2x brainstroke survivor last 2 yrs ago..Im still having a hard time to walk without a cane ,my left arm still not moving..I really want to recover completely
I do have one question if this makes sense. I am unsteady walking out in the open although I do it. i havent had a stroke or anything like that just sciatica and leg weakness. I am adhering to your vids but if I walk normally on flat ground im a little unsteady but if I walk quickly I'm more stable does that mean anything? BTW I am working on your stairs videos, thank you
Great info.. Iuse a. Hemi walker( I know you hate them) however my therApis in rehab thought it was a good idea for me. I still feel alo safer with it as opposed to the bigger plTform walker.Im hoping to soon be off of it. Thanks to you
I recovered on my own using the handrails at the hospital where I was treated & went home by the afternoon. That's how bad I really wanted a Coca-Cola in a vending machine & a cigarette too. If you want something bad enough you will do what it takes to get better all on your own.
Hi doc may i ask , my mom is a stroke patient and i brought her back to the hospital for another check up and the doctor said for recovering or for she be able to walk she have 6 months of therapy after that it will be harder for her to walk coz her muscle get harder..is is it true?
I use an arm sling to stabilize my left arm from throwing my balance out when I walk. my wife doesn't feel comfortable on me doing that. But I Walk into church without my cane. I haven't gone into a store because my hip right side gives me pain. I'm thinking of going back to rehab.
Thank you Doc for ur videoes on stroke recovery....I am already walking..... but when I try to walk fast my evolved foot does not move fast and I limp.... please help
Thanks for watching and for the comment! This is a very common problem. This probably means that your leg has not "learned" the movement to the point where it is engrained (hardwired) in your brain. I might recommend spend more time walking in a quiet, familiar environment. You have to do a movement 100s of times (correctly) before it becomes "automatic". Once it becomes "automatic" you will experience more consistency when you start adding addition challenges (ie: walking fast or walking in an unfamiliar environment). I am thinking when you are "walking fast" you are probably trying to get somewhere and that ads a TON of stimulation that can interfere with quality movement. I hope this helps!
@@rehabhqofficial Thank you Doctor...I am extremely happy you replied to me. I will surely follow as you suggested. Thank you for taking the time to answer me thank you so much
I’m am paralyzed on my right side, how can I walk with my cane ?? Is that possible. I’m a big girl so I’ve a sock ankle from on my foot to my high calf to strengthen to keep lower leg took from bending. I’ve had my stroke on 6/25/2019, I have APHASIA, it’s at first I could not talk at all but over the last 4 yours I have fought to get a lot of my voice back. I am self sufficient and I can drive AND If I have something else to say “ PLEASE “ KEEP TRYING !!!! Everyday ❤❤❤❤
Does this apply to people who are trying to get off crutches after long complicated injury? I can walk around on one crutch for 45 minutes but am not getting balance back, worried!
Dr. Tobias you are so helpful well with the tandem stance I really can’t do that and I want off of this cane. Do u have any other tips cuz I’ve been following you for a while and I wish I could come directly to you!!
Hi Michelle!! First, I get so excited when I hear people pushing beyond their comfort zone. I think this is a great goal. The progression would be 1. feet side by side (touching) 2. feet shoulder width apart with the uninvolved leg slightly forward 3. Uninvolved leg slightly forward with heal touching big toe 4. feet in tandem (one in front of the other). Wall on the involved side with feet about 6" away from the wall. Be able to hold the position for min 5 sec without falling into/away from the wall before moving on to the next foot position. Try that and let me know how it goes!!
I am stroker for 7 years, before covid 19, I walk no aid. After covid, I walk in my working place helped by cane fr about a year. Due osteoartitis gettin worse I walk help by walker with whwit. Is alright, dobu hv any advice. I am 54 yo
This is so awesome. I had a stroke in 2011. I've picked up some bad habits and I'm starting over fresh. Understanding why my body is doing what it is, helps tremendously. Thank you so much. So happy I found you.

I walk around the house without my cain, but I use it when I go somewhere, for support and keep me from tripping from small stones and. Debris.
Fantastic class of relearning how to walk again in my rehab session I'll surely practice with these orientations. Thanks a lot Dr. Tara!!!
Thank you Doctor. Thanks to Doctor's TH-cam, I exercised every day and I recovered many steps. 🙏
What exercises can I do to correct my step-to walking pattern?

I seem to have packets of very hard skin on the soles of both feet and the pain throws me off balance. I have moved a lot to keep up my physical strength and I hope to be able to walk again. I do have my feet looked up regularly but the skin grows very fast.

Hi Mam! I'm a single and a 2x brainstroke survivor last 2 yrs ago..Im still having a hard time to walk without a cane ,my left arm still not moving..I really want to recover completely
I do have one question if this makes sense. I am unsteady walking out in the open although I do it. i havent had a stroke or anything like that just sciatica and leg weakness. I am adhering to your vids but if I walk normally on flat ground im a little unsteady but if I walk quickly I'm more stable does that mean anything? BTW I am working on your stairs videos, thank you
#strokegate yes we need more of these video great job.thank you.
Great info.. Iuse a. Hemi walker( I know you hate them) however my therApis in rehab thought it was a good idea for me. I still feel alo safer with it as opposed to the bigger plTform walker.Im hoping to soon be off of it. Thanks to you
I recovered on my own using the handrails at the hospital where I was treated & went home by the afternoon. That's how bad I really wanted a Coca-Cola in a vending machine & a cigarette too. If you want something bad enough you will do what it takes to get better all on your own.
Hi doc I ended this so much I was hammering my good-sside wrist by stressing it on my cane
Didn't quite understand it was confusing. It said involved side but my left is my involved but she demo accurately for me to understand?
Hi doc may i ask , my mom is a stroke patient and i brought her back to the hospital for another check up and the doctor said for recovering or for she be able to walk she have 6 months of therapy after that it will be harder for her to walk coz her muscle get harder..is is it true?
Hello Dr Tabias If I am able to walk in the hose without a cane would it be safe to walk outside without it ?
I use an arm sling to stabilize my left arm from throwing my balance out when I walk. my wife doesn't feel comfortable on me doing that. But I Walk into church without my cane. I haven't gone into a store because my hip right side gives me pain. I'm thinking of going back to rehab.
Is it possible to recover fine motor skills after a stroke ?
Thank you Doc for ur videoes on stroke recovery....I am already walking..... but when I try to walk fast my evolved foot does not move fast and I limp.... please help
Thanks for watching and for the comment! This is a very common problem. This probably means that your leg has not "learned" the movement to the point where it is engrained (hardwired) in your brain. I might recommend spend more time walking in a quiet, familiar environment. You have to do a movement 100s of times (correctly) before it becomes "automatic". Once it becomes "automatic" you will experience more consistency when you start adding addition challenges (ie: walking fast or walking in an unfamiliar environment). I am thinking when you are "walking fast" you are probably trying to get somewhere and that ads a TON of stimulation that can interfere with quality movement. I hope this helps!
@@rehabhqofficial Thank you Doctor...I am extremely happy you replied to me. I will surely follow as you suggested. Thank you for taking the time to answer me thank you so much

#STROKEGAIT!!! DR. TOBIAS!!! NOW I JUST NEED TO FIND A SUITABLE WALL FOR THIS EXCERCISE. GOD BLESS DR. TOBIAS!

Thank You.....
Dr. Tobias you are so helpful well with the tandem stance I really can’t do that and I want off of this cane. Do u have any other tips cuz I’ve been following you for a while and I wish I could come directly to you!!
Hi Michelle!! First, I get so excited when I hear people pushing beyond their comfort zone. I think this is a great goal. The progression would be 1. feet side by side (touching) 2. feet shoulder width apart with the uninvolved leg slightly forward 3. Uninvolved leg slightly forward with heal touching big toe 4. feet in tandem (one in front of the other). Wall on the involved side with feet about 6" away from the wall. Be able to hold the position for min 5 sec without falling into/away from the wall before moving on to the next foot position. Try that and let me know how it goes!!
Orlando Neuro Therapy I’ll let you know on my progress
