#strokeelbow Hi Dr. Tobias, I'm having a hard time reaching into cabinets and other things. Could you make a video specifically on that? Thank you so much!
I've had a stroke since 2013 that affected the whole right side of my body.
You can say I share empathy with all my "stroke people" lol
Great job Tara. Please How can I correct my palm facing back while walking though still struggling for my elbow to stay straight while working
#strokeelbow
Thank you Dr. Tara tobias for your help. I'm doing my exercises every morning at the same time watching your video while following your instructions. My goal this year is to keep my left arm down while walking.
I'm 7 years post stroke. Not giving up
Thank you for watching and for inspiring others with your positive attitude!! Never give up. :) Next week's video will show you some ways to keep the arm down when standing and walking. Stay tuned!
Year 2021 now.. I noticed that my left arm was not lifting up since I did this exercise. It is much more flexible and soft. It works!
Thank you Dr. Tara tobias
#strokearm
My 2021 goal is to strengthen my arm more and get rid of the spasticity.
Is it possible Dr. Tara? Thanks
Yup, I'm doing the same here too Gina. Thank you Dr. Tara Tobias. I'm 34 years post stroke. Not giving up too.

many thanx

As a Caregiver I want to thank you so much because I understand better and I have been sharing your videos to my wife that got a stroke a year ago. My biggest challenge is how to motivate her to so stuff as her initiative is not 100 there yet and I am only one 24/7. I want it to ask you if you could share anything on electrodes. Saebo mention the Sensory Electrode Stimulation. There is Funtional Electrode Stimulation like Bioness. And TEEN that it is used my understanding is more to block pain. And the Electro Muscle Stimulation. And again, thank so much. When we get better and I want to thank you personally. Or maybe we do something to sharp her skills at your clinic.
Thank you for watching! I am glad they are helping. You are correct TENS is more for pain and generally speaking a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is more geared toward "activating" a muscle. It has to do with the wave form. That being said, Saebo and bioness are most likely always going to be the NMES waveform. I hope that helps.
please make video for stiffed fingers veri tight and rigid fingers
As a sufferer, im already able to open my hands now. Still got a few problems with my shoulder but the exercises here in the channel truly helps me. Thanks very much
Can u drive? Yet
@@marlonramos2170 nope. never had to. public transpo here is amazing. but if have to, yes.
Suffered a stroke almost 30 years ago at 23 y/o. Massive lower extremity orthopedic injuries kept me from full rehab activities. Recently had last orthopedic corrective surgery. Still working to correct improper movement patterns. Stretching my ankle to overcome plantar flexion. Standing on angled board for 60 minutes each morning. Doctors told me in 1993 after 12 months post stroke whatever I had was what I would live with…..NOT TRUE folks. I’m 52 y/o and seeing improvements constantly, the more I work on it the better I get. Dr. Tobias you are spot on and I appreciate your videos.
@@derekstone8682 im 98% ok now. with the other side isnt as strong as the other side. and i get one side shoulder spasms when im really tired. but overall im pretty back to normal.
hard to tell the 101/ beginning videos from advanced by name can you number or create a beginners section for shoulder exercises? i.e. -beginning shoulder exercises part 1, 2,3,etc.
Almost 3 years post stroke mild spasticity biggest problem all along affected side.Would appreciate exercises for forefoot abduction.
Hi Dr Tobias I was recently told I may have Ataxia in my affected left arm. My hand and finger movement has come back and can straighten my arm pretty well but now my arm and hand get quite shaky as I reach to pick something up. Do you have any exercises or therapies you would recommend to get control back over this arm. I was told it’s not spasticity.
stroke spasticity fingers tight joint please suggest on this ..thanks
Is an air splint a good idea? I have a Saebo glide is this a gooood device? I thought about purchasing the Saebo estim for my arm and hand? Would you mind commenting? Kind Christian regards ! Ron Padlo. Unfortunate 13years post stroke ,I realize from watching your video’s that I use a plethora of compensatory usage from my strong right side. I now realize that this has been a detriment in the long term
#stroke arm swing.
Hi! Looking for advice on how to recover a more normal arm movement. My affected arm feels like a foreign object. How to walk and swing arms?
Can you make a progression on regaining elbow movement? My goal for progression is elbow extension 1. with gravity (downward), 2. level with gravity (horizontally (like pushing a cane), 3. against gravity. Any thoughts?
my finger's joints are tight please make video on finger spasticity ..thank you
#strokeelbow
Please more videos on this. My elbow will extend to the side when I tried to reached into cabinet shelves
Good morning 🌻
#stokeelbow
im still waiting to open up my finger,right now i can squease now but untill now my finger can't open.. thank's for your help.
I have trouble with my fingers also, I have to use my other hand to open them up
@@yvettebanks9684 me too. right now its been a little bit alright i hope on the right time i well open up. just keep going and believe in your self we can be heal as one. and back to normal life. keep going GOODLUCK ON YOUR RECOVERY❤❤❤GOD BLESS US ALL. TAKE CARE.
Never use hemiparesis ?
Dr Tara, great job.
Please, how can I get some of these devices you use? I practice in Africa
What names do they go by?
Thanks
I've seen them in the description but it's just that I don't know if there are available in Nigeria
Hello Dr. Tobias and Thank you for all your help. Three years ago I suffered a massive heart attack. I can't walk independently yet. This effects EVERYTHING. The right side of my body is ridiculously INVOLVED.
I'm 5'9" and 300 lbs. The doctors didn't even know if I would walk again. What can I do??
#AMAZON
is having one foot turn inward common with after effect of stroke ? If so what exercise can i do to correct yjis problem?
Thanks for your videos. My question is when one doesn't use the and fingers, what should he do?
Thank you for watching! Watch the video again. I give a few different modifications if the fingers are not working.
my arm is really dense after my stroke and the physios dont seem to have too much hope that I will regain movement . it is in a sling every day because the shoulder is subluxed and i have no pain in it, yet the physio said at my last visit it is a given that my arm will get painful further down the line which I found incredibly defeatist. so I have decided that I will follow the videos as much as I am able and try to beat the odds and regain as much function as I can. is that a reasonable goal? I am 5 month post hemorrhagic stroke and am walking again even though I was not given much hope. which videos should I concentrate the most on?
can i put wrisr weights to help hold elbow from bending up while walking? my family says they notice my arm is bent most of the time as i walk.

How l can put my hemiplegic left arm to work 5ys post stroke
Where do you buy the dowel rod? And shouldn't we start with gravity-assisted elbow extension? I tried the Pilates ring exercise, and it was way too difficult to even setup.
That makes sense. Please visit the stroke arm playlist where I have some other videos that might address the issues you are experiencing with your arm.
i had spinal surgery cervical and L2L3 one yr passed i cannot still walk without a walker i feel my hips and legs are so heavy. ple tell me what kind of exercise i should do .
Thank you for your very informative videos, Dr Tobias. Can you please post a video of exercises to overcome spasticity?
Absolutely! Hopefully you can attend the live Q& A so that I can get a better idea of your specific needs for the next video.
From where can I buy that machine?
I tried o close the fridge yesterday with my affected arm as I hard as I tried I could not my arm what can I do to with this
#Strokeelbow
Hi despite the exercises my elbow still flex probably a little less than 45° when walking especially if im outside and exerting effort taking larger steps or walking over something . I can stretch and straighten my arms voluntarily now. But whenever i walk on the streets it still flex up. Do i need to continue and do more arm exercises? I want to break the synergy. By the way im 3 yrs post stroke. Thanks!
The best way to reduce spasticity is to keep working the opposite movement (for example straightening the arm). This video may also help: th-cam.com/video/wOlzfPLl-aY/w-d-xo.html

Thank you for watching and for sharing your story! Sounds like you are doing all the right things. E-stim, botox, and lots and lots of stretching as well as the other exercises I show in this video :)
Yes i walk with my arm lifted sometimes.
#Traumatic brain injury, right frontal lobe. My left arm, hand, and fingers is stiff.

I had that problem but I got this surgery called a extensors release bcuz I had a bad contractor in my arm.. but that was two months ago ND now the tone ND espacity is coming bck ND it's making it hard to work on ND out .
Yes, I am not a fan of cutting people open to fix this. I have done a video on this. Make sure you do whatever you can to block that arm straight (when not doing these exercises) :) I hope that helps and best of luck
@@rehabhqofficial yes ma'am it has helped alot I don't hurt as much anymore ND I'm gaining movement bck in my wrist ND I have trace in my arm wher they can see wherim trying to move the muscle to mopeny hand ND move my fingers
What if it’s been a long time since your stroke and you think your elbow is locked? You don’t have help and it’s hard to do on your own. My shoulder is completely stretched out. And my hand is more open. My wrist is downward flexed though. #strokelbow
In one of your videos, you were using a device that it appears you locked your arms around and proceeded to rock forward and back, like going sit ups. What is that device?
hmm, I am not sure. The only thing i can think of is the core max (used in this video) that I "put my arms around". I wish I could be more help.
#wrist and elbow
Madam subtitle doesn't work In this video.can you do one more video of" how to straighten arm when walking".. With subtitle video.please.

I have a few pieces of Dycem, yet all of them are covered with dirt particles & have lost their adhesive property. Does washing them restore this property to the Dycem?
Yup. You can wash them with soap and water. :)

@@aaronoyster9627 air dry
Hope to notice
BIG THANKS! Didn't have a stroke tho... lol or atleast dont think so. . idk
How do you go about reactivate the affected tricep? #strokeelblow
Thanks for watching and for leaving this comment! Try not to think so much about a specific muscle but more in terms of the movement. That will make this video make more sense. :)
@@rehabhqofficial that doesn't make sense because it's the muscle that creates the movement! You can't make certain movements or do certain exercises if the muscle isn't activated!
