- Every stroke recovery exercise program should include this exercise to have the BEST arm movement.
Here is a link for the black neoprene strap that I use to stabilize the upper arm: amzn.to/2XTl01i;
Here is a link for the red Dycem anti-slip mat: amzn.to/2RWNnXd;
Here is a link for the light blue strap to hold the hand on the cane: amzn.to/2Xu3Nr1
I did the exercises in this video so many times that the passive range of movement become an active movement. God bless you Dr. Tobias for helping us stroke survivors.
OMG! This is amazing!!! That is what "repetition is all about". I am pinning this to the top so that others will have hope!! Thank you for sharing.
please give me some advice. My father had a stroke the past week and now he cannot move his left arm and leg 😞 cannot even smile or talk right even the voice is weak . How long did it take for you to recover and did you recover fully?
how long did it take for you to be able to do walks again( that's what he loves the most 😞).
I love this !!
@@MAN9027 See if given proper treatment....medicine and physiotherapy.....walking can start in about 1 month to 40 days after stroke....speech can improve within few weeks with proper speech therapy...... full recovery takes time.....say 7 to 8 months depending on the health since each individual is unique with different health conditions...but remember never stop the medicines as prescribed by doc and plus physiotherapy is a must.. I hope u got what u wanted to know....
Btw how is ur father now? How much is the improvement? It's been more than a year I saw ur comment todya
@@Koyal-kw2mn very little progress still no movement in the right arm. Can walk some steps with a cane and someone watching so still very dependent til this day. Thanks for the information and for asking though
U r such a great therapist lucky to find you on TH-cam
Sooo happy I found this channel. With insurance restrictions we have had weeks go by with no therapy for my husband after his stroke. You are a lifesaver and possibly the only hope we have for recovery of movement. Bless you!
I need more videos like this because I am a stroke patient and they really help me so I can do a lot of my things at home in between going to therapy
Hello. I just wanted to make a quick comment. First Thank you, so very much. I cannot express, how much your channel is helping my wife. She suffered a severe stroke. And, then did therapy for six months. And we did not realize how much she was falling behind, with the therapy she had. To put it nicely. The video's you put out are a God send. Your are absolutely amazing, with how relevant and helpful you are. I guess, I already, overshot a quick comment. So I will stop there. Again, Thank you , thank you.
I appreciate you so much! You help me as a caregiver so much with giving good, safe, informative exercises to my husband! You are definitely God sent😘🤗
Thanks for this post. Am a stroke care nurse need to see more of this videos for leg and arm to be able to serve my clients better.
Thank you so much . These exercises are very helpful. I am a stroke patient , and I would love to see more arm/ hand exercises for stroke patients.
How is going now after 2 year have you coming back totally? Please answer me
@@user-pz6lb3vi2o It has been almost 5 years for me, and I am still not where I would like to be. I
@@user-pz6lb3vi2o , No I still can’t use my paralyzed arm or hand. It will be 5 years for me since my stroke .
Thanks for posting. Ihad a stroke in July 2019 Ireally want to go back and make useof my left leg and left arm/hands . I hope to see more videos Thanks a lot!
Every video I watch I learn better or extra techniques to help and have a better understanding of how something works so I can move forward. Thank you
After 3 and half years I started reaching out with my paralyzed arm. I did a lot of weight bearing exercises. I believe that helped me a great deal. The saying that ywhat you get back within a year that’s the function that you will keep” is definitely not true. That one year mark is way off because our brain is still working after a year as well. The brain will not go out of business so to say after a year. 😀
Thank you for your stroke support
Extremely helpful as my husband just had a mild stroke which affected the dominant arm and leg.
Thank you for your valuable videos it helped me a stroke survivor alot I really appreciated your videos
Thank you for these great excercises ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much! Very helpful for a family member!
Excellent. Thanks .
I am 62 and have had cerebral palsy from birth
And I’ve never been able to use my left arm very well
Physios of always give me exercises to do that have made me worse
But I watched one of your videos and I thought yes I’ll treat myself as though I’ve had a stroke
And I have really noticed a big difference in the movement I’ve got in my left hand since watching your videos
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos to help people like me
I am going to tell all the medical people I am under about your videos and How there helping me
Thank you for watching. I am so glad to hear that they are helping. you. :)
2015 had a stroke my doctor caused that I met a woman. , woman said to late left arm working its to late I need a Levage, I planning my son, plplanning fish .
Thank You, you are the best that I’ve seen by far!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Thank you for watching! I hope the information is useful 😊
Insurance makes me so mad that they cut off payments if you haven’t made enough progress per them. Obviously there are no stroke victims in their office that has input on how critical therapy is. I got dismissed from the hospital a week after my stroke as I hadn’t made enough progress per their scale which they applied to everyone. They didn’t take into consideration how severe the stroke was. And then I picked a rehab place to send me to that was on their list of acceptable places to continue therapy. I picked one that was closest to my home. It was a disaster. It was basically a last stop nursing home. They didn’t know what to do with me. They had no program for stroke victims. Most of the people there where in those lay down flat wheelchairs. . I was not in that bad of shape. I was in a regular wheelchair that I pushed myself in. That place was a waste of money and time. I never had the same therapist two days in a row. It set me back so much. I was at two different rehab places after that horrible nursing home. I can walk now but still have a gait belt and a real OT which I’m about to lose because of insurance. I love these videos. ThNk you so much. Dr Tara. Are you a medical dr OT PhD?
Yes, your videos are of great help to me!!
I'm so glad to hear it
Mam you are doing a great job God bless you
Your videos really helps me a lot 😃
Thank you so much, I'm coming up on my year mark, so I'm a little discouraged at this point with what hasn't returned, mostly arm, wish I would have found you sooner!
Don't give up! My initial rehab was a bad joke mostly, with some exceptions. It's easy to get down about things, but you can do this!
Thank you for more exice you tell for us im from Phillipines im 34 years all and i stroke last feb10 this year wen i see you at the youtube iwalk my left hand recover faster your vidio you share so very very good doc. Thank you so match
Thank you.
Thank you so much , Iam Lucky to find your video.

Your a good therapist.
Better than what we have here in U.K I'm going to share your video to my friends at stroke union associate today next week.
GOD bless you.
Thank you! Yes, please share. The more I can reach people, the better. My channel is not big enough to reach people organically so sharing them really does help people to find this information :)
Without a doubt ,she is the best on the internet,I like Illinois, hate the winters but if
I could afford to go to Orlando for a few months, it would be worth a great deal to have her for a therapist! Hurray for Tara Tobias ,she is worth her weight in gold dabloons
Love all your videos Dr T ara ❤ thank you soooo muchfor everything you do for stroke survivors i watch you every day for the past 9months I've learned sooo much from youabout my self and my case, that my Dr wants to hire me as an assistant:):)

Hi JB! Thank you for sharing! I am so glad you found it helpful
Your videos are very informative. I've found out more just watching your videos than my caregivers. Being on state medicaid has its shortcomings. In any case, thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing the above. No doubt you are a very good physiotherapist. One is really lucky to have to have session under you. You are awesome ❤❤

More arm and hand videos please. I’m 5years post right brain stroke and would like to get back to dancing flamenco. Major stroke with very limited left arm movement so far. I can passively straighten it all the way, but if I try and actively stretch it out, it starts retracting right away.
Thank you dr. Tara Im your ordinary follower from Manila, Philippines suffered an ischemic stroke last Sept. 2016 my left side is the affected part suffered both drop foot and subluxation during my seizure Im patiently doing your exercises and stretching your showing on your videos and I also know that I need a ton of patience for my recovery
Hi Pierre, thanks for watching and for sharing your story! One day at a time :) You got this. :)
Thank you for all the help. Am 26 months post stroke. Still having difficulty being able to write. So days better than others. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Danny Stricklin
You are stronger than you think my friend. Keep working hard and you will achieve great things.
Thank you for these exercises. They helped me a lot. Can you suggest some exercises to relieve upper wrist and forearm spasm
I love your exercise demo you’re very thorough and easy to follow. I have used up all the therapy that my insurance covered and I am left to my own devices now so I am always looking for new at home things I can continue to do . I have a tight arm with curled fingers so I do appreciate any exercises that focus on elongating these muscles.if I had found you before perhaps I would be further along with my arm function.
My fingers just curl up, please suggest how to go about correcting the same
Very helpful pls do video and tips on arm strengthening exercise whilst standing and with light weights
Thank u
Thanks ma'am

I like the elbow extension thing, i having problem because of pain
My husband Don and I want to thank you for your TH-cam therapies. You explain everything thoroughly and then show him how to do it. That has been so important to see it actually done so he can do them at home.
When he does the shoulder flexion laying down I help with the affected arm and when he reaches back to the 90° his fingers open up. We were so happy to see that happened but when he is sitting to do that range of motion of course he can't go up that high so his fingers does not open up.
Is this normal?
great ! Useful video love from Nepal 🇳🇵
Thanks for watching, glad it helped
Hi Dr. Tobias, I am so happy and excited to have found your videos they have been a tremendous help allowing me to understand what's going on with my body as a result of the stroke. So, when I'm trying to perform exercises with my arm and hand, my hand will shake uncontrollably, am doing something wrong or overworking it?
I found your channel when looking for exercises to help an elderly friend, almost 90 had a stroke and a heart attack. He's not been compliant, has no mobility on his right side. He has pain in his right arm. He would like to walk again. What exercises do I even start to help him
Thank you for your great videos. I've learned a lot but ai don't want to hurt him
Thank you so much this is for my husband..
Hi Marisol. Thank you for watching! I hope it helps 😊
Thanks a lot . For me it was a colateral damage cervical cirurgy. But the exercises are this ones to i guess. Thanks a lot 🙏🙏🙏Portugal
Btw it's drop foot inversion. Thanks again!
You are perfect physiotherapist, I need your help
More motion on the arm and shoulder on the right side.
Tq very much
Thank you for watching! It is my pleasure :)
I had a stroke last year in January, I had really bad nightmare and anxiety really bad I couldn't really sleep stay still concentrate, let along workout to do any of these exercises, I couldn't do no therapy Theraphy or anything, and when I did get a chance to go, it went good, until they did 3 treatments of electric shocks on my upper thing and leg beneath the knee, after that..I noticed a big difference in my affected leg, it was stuffer, hard to do my workouts that I knew, and had learned, the bottom of Mt foot feels like a tight fist, it just seems like I lost what I learned and able to do good, before they did those 3 shock treatments on my stroke leg, so I didn't let them do no more, I didn't like how it made my leg feel, and I found myself feeling like I will never get my arm and leg use and strength back, because of the mental delay I had for the first year slmost, and it Makes it hard, when you feel like their not really listening to you, they say it's suppose to wake up/strengthen your muscles, but it feels like it did more harm, than good to me, I don't know where to turn for more help, I'm still not able to use my arm and leg, like I need to, do you have any suggestions, that could help lead me, in the right direction
God blessyou more and your love ones. .AMEN
love you

Keep up the great work and keep me coming🤗

Will I be able to do these exercises with him? and is there a video for leg movement? I only just found you on utube, Louise

If it works, do it ;)
@@rehabhqofficial do you know of anyone who has tried it?
Thank you for your advice . I'm desperate to get my arm and fingers back
I have mild weakness on my left side after brain cancer surgery and a seizure, I have a tendency to run into things, and my spatial awareness is off, so I struggle typing Like my pinky hits the caps lock when I mean to hit A or tab.. My symptoms aren't as severe as most, but this video definitely helps me understand that rehabilitation is possible
If you have any recommendations on how to regain precision on fingers, that would be nice. for now I'm just rubbing it and practice typing as much as I can.
