Excellent presentation, with many instructions. I am trying to get more knee action when I walk. Thank you Tara.

Brilliant series, this, and all in this one video. You sussed out the not so obvious problems causing synergy anomalies. I have repeatedly tried walking more upright but cannot due to the sudden feeling of starting to fall backwards. It really showed up yesterday as I tried to circumnavigate my way thru a succession of stairways at the dentist's office. I'm thinking about putting a folding table in my apt specifically to work on your unique regimen of exercises.
2 months ago I had a stroke lost use of my left arm and leg completely i kept doing my exercises,, I'm walking without a stick and got use of my arm and getting stronger never give up 🏋️
Excellent Episode. EVERY episode I see about swinging leg, knee lock-up walking in general.
I have to watch 3 or 4 times and because I feel like I'm in class trying to catch-up to 2, 3 or 4 months of classes. Add as you say. "DO IT TIL YOU GOT IT. Makes REHAB non-stop
Yes Patrick!
I look forward to trying these exercises tomorrow (I often watch your videos at night & review exercises the next day). I appreciate the confirmation that walking is tiring. Our neighborhood has a little bit of terrain and I often think that walking is more tiring than it should be, due, as you say, to inefficiency. I think these exercises will help me to be more efficient. Thanks!
You are a great teacher Tara. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your knowledge and expertise.
Hellow ma'am can reverse cycling on a static leg eargometer help to break the synergistic pattern of leg
When I think about certain movements while walking, I walk more correctly. I am bothered by the agonist-antagonist control, so I spend a lot of energy, especially in the long run. I also did hip exercises (video 2 years ago), I think that squatting will help me connect muscle groups so that I don't lock my knee and walk more efficiently. This makes me very reminiscent of practicing playing. Thanks for the tips, have a nice week.
I agree, squatting is a great way to build both strength AND control.
Please also tell how a stroke patient with complete one side paralysis can move himself up on the bed. My brother has left side Hemiplegia after suffering from a stroke. I find really hard to pull him up on the bed as he keeps slipping down. I pull him up with great difficulty from behind the headboard side of the bed where the pillows are placed so that he can sit upright with his back supported by the head board. But he keeps slipping down towards the footboard side of the bed. 1. Can you think of a technique how a hemiplegic can pull himself up towards the headboard and sit straight up with his back on the headboard? 2. How can a caregiver (just one caregiver) do the above? Thanks
It takes all my energy just to keep my balance. I don’t seem to have any stamina
To much excellent video for stroke patients world wide. Thanks
Once you use the Swedish knee brace, do you have to use it forever? Do you become dependent on it?
Thank you-
I purchased one and it came yesterday. Straight of the bat I noticed a difference using it at home.
As I have with my walking stick, I feel I wouldn’t be surprised if I do get dependent on it. BUT not sure if I’d feel confident using it outside. Looking like The Terminator 😅
Still not sure if I’m supposed to use over clothes as it’s tricky getting it over my skinny jeans. Also I wish it came in other colours other than white.
Hi Tara I had a stroke last fall. I love watching your videos they are so informative teaching my what how and why certain exercises are appropriate for me or not can you do a video on proper use of gate poles vs walker please thanks in advance keep going you are really helping me on the toughest journey I have ever had to face my rehab god bless you Ron
Wow, you never stop amazing me with your videos, keep it up doc, great info
I have MS and I am intrigued with your crouch walk exercise! I have reviewed tons of exercises and I’ve never come across crouch walking but I believe it is some thing I can do in the house whenever I walk. Will this help my peg leg and foot drop??
HI Brenda! Generally speaking, when someone says they feel like they have a "peg leg", this means the muscles that extend the knee and point the foot are overactive during walking. And in this case, yes, crouch walking is a good exercises to relearn how to stand on the leg without the foot pointing. I hope that helps!
Hi Brenda! Good to read you! I also have MS. I also reviewed tons of exercises without great success I must say. Will be good to hear from you. Please don't hesitate to contact me. Kindest regards. Olga Bobrovnikova
GOD BLESS YOUDOCTOR,THIS TH-cam HELPS ME A LOT .!
Looking at buying my own Swedish knee cage. As for muscle fatigue I think people have to build up endurance. Pick a route and put a step counter on your phone. You’d be surprised how fast you can build up your endurance Ty pull see y try our daily step count go up. I get 7 to 8000 weather permitting. Today with thunderstorms stuck inside with around 4000 steps in my house and garage.
The sad part is they just made me a custom hinged brace that my therapist is going to have to each me how to put in one handed
Yes! I swong my leg for a time. Which is stiffness ... right?
Hey, so I have a question. My mom had a stroke at the start of 2020 and after it she could only sleep so she couldn’t do much physical therapy the first year. She also hated the rehabilitation centre she was in so she barely got training there cause she left after almost two months. About a year ago we really starting focusing on walking. At this point she can walk without me holding me and can walk a bit round the house with a walker with four grip thingies (not sure of the English word). Though she doesn’t use it functionally, just for training (she cant go to the toilet, go up the stairs etc). We also practice the stairs. We do this once a day though because she can’t handle more. Our training usually is: walk to the stairs, rest, do stairs a bit, walk back. So in my opinion not much. The walking itself is okayish but the biggest problem is that most of the time she gets this really bad pain at the bottom of her foot of her involved leg. She says it’s like walking on broken glass. We have checked her foot and brace multiple times but nothing is wrong there. This pain is a huge obstacle because it’s there most of the time and usually she wants to stop. Lately I’m able to convince her to keep going but I hate seeing her pain. We’re really not sure what this pain could be. So it’s at the ball of the foot, so on the bottom of her foot of her involved leg. Have you heard of someone having this problem? My mom always says that if she wouldn’t have that pain she’d be able to walk more. Sorry for the long post but I hope maybe you have an idea :)
excellent explanation and excellent exercises. i have only a little difficulty understanding the crouch walk, and i find it a pity since whenever i understand why i succeed better, and this particular exercise seems a great help to not overextend the knee. would you mind explainibg further? thx a lot for your outstanding work!
Thanks Tara. I stopped doing half-kneels a few months ago. Time to bring 'em back.
I do this because my involved leg doesn’t bend
Hi, Dr. Tara, where can I get more info on AFOs? I have one currently that’s very uncomfortable, so I don’t use it. Do I need to visit an orthotist or where can I get a different one that I’ll actually want to use?
Great information. I love being able to do some of my PT at home.
Good reminder!
Good exercises!
I have the advantage of a wheelchair ramp with a handrail. Makes practicing crouchwalking a breeze. And that practice is having results! 2.5 years post event, still making gains. No plateau in sight.
I save this one, heavy leg
What to do if the backs of my knees feel strain when doing the straight-leg ball bridge move?
You are such a life changer; life saver! Thank you for your expertise and excellent instruction.
Whàt do I do to àctivate my butt muscle right side
Lunges, bridge exercises.
Also one of the bands you see girls using to exercise their butt - clam exercises.
I feel like my affected arm can be used theway I used my left arm, before like the muscle memory is in tact I' just have to gain strength. is that normal I was fairly athletic up to the day before the morning of my stroke.
I have the opposite problem: the knee doesn’t want to hit full extension so the reach and heel touch portion of my gait stays a bit short. Can you address that sometime please? Btw it’s stroke related
Thank you Tara! I'm going to incorporate these exercises in my daily regime. You are the best!
this is exactly my problem, thank you for this video.
The Aerotrainer is much more stable than a ball for the bridges!! also Planks, etc.!!
11 days later, I am finding these exercises very helpful. I especially appreciate the crouch walking, and think that’ll really pay off.
I also like marches lying on back. At first, my form was really bad, but seems to be improving a little with experience (trust that’ll continue). Thanks again!
when i first understood i had a stroke i didn't care about walking a year n half later i do care
You talk to much with no kind of demonstration of what you are saying so I skip your videos and move on
Any suggestions to improve my balance? This isn’t addressed in your videos. When I stand, I immediately fall back. Even when I try to balance on my knees, I fall to the side. Physical therapy discharged me and told me to keep practicing on the treadmill and eventually I’d balance myself. PML…cerebellum affected
Hi Brandon! Thank you for watching and for sharing your story. Falling backward is a common problem with damage to the cerebellum. search "ataxia and rehab hq" and you will find some videos I have made that might help you with your balance
@@rehabhqofficial thanks so much ❤️
What is your initial problem? In one message you mentioned faulting backwards. That sounds like Parkinsons Disease
@@robertcruickshank9551 thanks. It’s pml. Verified
At 00:27, please correct "Tobais" to "Tobias" on screen.
dr tara i appreciate your posts so helpful to us!
Thanks for sharing this video, you have been a big help.
Will you please do a video on walking up the stairs?
You’re awesome thank you Tobias
I need to get my balance first
Perfect! I’m doing a lot of extensive yard work and sacrificing therapy for strength. I will get back to repetitive movement soon. Thank you for these valuable tools!
I have MS and all the issues u mention in your video with knee extension, gait and leaning forward posture (when using walking stick).
I recently purchased a Swedish Knee Brace. It arrived yesterday.
I’m sure I ordered the correct size as it fits comfortably after adjusting the M/L screws.
However, I’m conflicted- am I supposed to wear the brace on leg touching skin? Or can I wear over clothes- ie jeans, leggings?
I can just about fit the brace over my skinny jeans, but it looks odd 🤔 Maybe I should invest in some maxi skirts 😏
I have cerebellum ataxia and I tried the half kneeling I been working at it for awhile. I don't feel to much of a difference. Will I ever be able to walk with ataxia,is it possible. exactly what exercise will help..my balance is poor it seems nothing is working...
I was diagnosed with HOD in October after suffering from a hemorgic stroke in May. I am struggling hard. Any advice on how not to lose all progress i had made before the HOD diagnosis?
How do I stop foot bouncing
You are SO awesome!
covid is really ruined my recovery also i wear glasses rehab used to say to me do i see myself i said yes but vision was not clear ' crisp to see that i was all cockade leaning they keep working me now i am only half a person stuck in a wheelchair
your exellency can you guide me to a medical therapy at this stage or at least a kind of vitamen approriate . thans you
Hello doc Tara where can i buy n brace i am stroke survivor and have hyper knee hyperextension
Imma try this as a young teen basketball player I need this. As I already had 2 leg injuries and a back injury
Fantastic video. Great to add some new stuff to the usual routine to help walking.
Thank you
That's me 😢
Thank you for showing the crouch walking!!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing this video, good information.
i have an idea that tall kneeling will help i hate showers
covid is really ruined my recovery also i wear glasses rehab used to say to me do i see myself i said yes but vision was not clear ' crisp to see that i was all cockade leaning they keep working me now i am only half a person stuck in a wheelchair
I still exercised and ventured outside for my walks during Covid. I’m a believer that I take control of my life and wellbeing 🤸🏽♀️
If I didn’t venture outside I’d exercise at home, even walking up/down the flight of stairs in my building. Don’t ever let anyone take control of your life!
Anyhoo, maybe u should try eye exercises. It strengthens the muscles behind the eye 👁
Still keep up your exercises in the wheelchair. Stay positive ✨
Please tell us how many repetitions you mean when you say do it a lot so it becomes automatic...I really want to add some to my program but just want an actual number do I know I'm doing enough !
This is an excellent question! Here is video that may help: th-cam.com/video/HIrSWm70MBo/w-d-xo.html
i'm struggling to get to soak in a tub
My involved arm doesn’t move
Thank you so much for this important information. One therapist told me “once you pass the10-12 year post stroke don’t expect anything else to happen , if it’s not fixed either your hand or leg that’s it”
What to you think? Is this correct.
what if my ankle cant move at all?
Hi! What do you do if your heel lifts when using the skateboard?
Hi Laura! Thanks for the question. Try not to roll the skateboard back as far. Stop when the heel comes up. I hope that helps!
Can you still do these things if you had a stroke three years ago? The bad habits are already set, so can you reverse the habit?
Yes to both questions, I think. I had a severe stroke 4 years ago. I’ve been following this channel for a few months, which has given me new hope in my recovery. Hang in there!
How do I stop foot bouncing
thank you very much
bless u.
Good video
Thanks Dr🙏
Спасибо!
Thank you so much for generosity! It really means a lot to me. 🙏
👍👍👍🙏
I absolutely love this video. I would rate this video in the top five. I guess because it really hit home. I walk reasonably well but always have a little fear because I have fallen several times. This video included several exercises t that I find valuable in making me more comfortable in walking. You always amaze me Dr. Tobias. Thank you!
Hi Teresa! Yes, fear can be a huge barrier and really create some gait "deviations". I am glad you are already doing some of these exercises :) Also, thank you for always sharing your experiences. They are very much appreciated and I know you are helping a lot of people! Have a great week!
Please guide me, when I walk I face spasm in my left foot and it twist a little bit while walking
@@varunnevatia2943 Dr. Tobias might get little upset with me in saying this but I stretch until it's very uncomfortable. Stretching is the best thing you can do for spasticity in my opinion. Dr. Tobias also has a video or more that has ankle spasticity in the title. I also like holding on to something sturdy and squatting till the is a great stretch.
You probably won’t do it because you know you give people the rise of touching their legs I don’t get it very much but my dad watches you every day but now he can’t because he’s dead
Thanks Dr Tobias for another fantastic and informative video, I'm thinking that the crouched walking and the skate board, will be a great help to me keep my knee from locking up less frequently. I do have a question though not related to the video.a few months ago you recommended a book I believe that it was in regards to the part that the mind plays in stroke recovery. If I'm not way out in left field somewhere, please If you could remind of the book
Hi Fred! Great to see you this week. You are the placebo by Joe Dispenza and Switch on your brain by Caroline Leaf are the two books that come to mind.
My dad died three days ago so I don’t wanna hear It please
If you don't want to hear it then just keep scrolling and stfu, no one is forcing you to watch these videos 🤷🏿♂️
I think you should make a gaming video and that would make my day OK then just please do it
Please seek out some counseling it doesn’t sound like you are handling your Dad’s death very well. So sorry for your loss.
Very nice information. Thanks doctor
