Dr Tara you are the changes lives of stroke patients your each video is great helpfull for me I recovered so much by the guidelines of your videos Thanks God bless you
I plan on joining Ma'am. I just thanked GOD for me finding your videos. My wife is recovering from Critical Illness Neuropathy since late July 2021. She was able to begin shrugging her shoulders in 2022-2023. Her left side seems to move more frequently than the right. I will begin using your techniques immediately as I feel GOD led me to your videos. As for her lower extremities (legs), she's be ginning to cry more about pins & needless. She'll ask for me to move and stretch her legs. With ROM, she has turned it into a game where she locks it out and won't allow me to bend. For now, she's not able to move any body parts on her own (except the neck & shoulders). The fingers twitch periodically after ROM. Her speech is beginning to be understood a bit more as she has dysphagia with the tongue & swallowing. If there's anything more you can share, it would be greatly appreciated. *In Jesus Name, Amen.
New to you channel and am excited. I had a TBI in 1969 at the age of 12. Your videos hit home on my needs for recovery. Biggest issue is 50 years of trained non use. Thank you for such important information.
Ideally Ed hlp with a text question that will help me get up from the floor,I have had falls rgat air couldn't get up from, y floor is so dang hard d cold but I have never been showed anything over the last 5 year that could have helped with me getting up!
I Truly appreciate these videos which serve as a reminder how important constant and consistent movement is. I very often visit your older videos to freshen up on these stretches.
Great to see you Fred! Make sure to bookmark this video because it is about 5 (previous videos) in one 😊.......You also have me thinking about old videos........I can imagine what the critics would have commented back in the day (ie: "she talks to much") 😬 At least I didn't take this one topic and stretch it over 5 videos 🤣 Progress is progress. Have a great week!
@@rehabhqofficial you have a great week as well. I'm sure that this goes without saying, don't mind the critics, and nay sayers. The proof of your methods and approach to PT is found in the countless people who have been immeasurably helped by you and your channel of which I'm proud to be numbered among
This was wonderful. for fine motor, I use small rocks, pennies, dimes, quarters, and small nuts and bolts if that helps anyone else. I space out 3 cups and work on picking up, extending the arm, and droppings those items in each of the cups. Still have a hard time with elbow stiffness and overhead extension
One hour exercise routine per day (mentioned at the end of video). And one of the comments, he's doing 4 hrs. How many reps in one hour? 50 (unweighted)*60 minutes =3000, say 2000 reps, so 10k in one week can be achieved? So, one hour a day should be worthwhile. I like the pulling out the sword and the holding bowl descriptions, much easier to remember.
Wow, I could only do30 minutes with stretching before I got too sore. I have a list of movements from my Outpatient OT, and I try to do all moves with intention and focus and get around 400 reps in for mass practice. Reps help me have a target since I am still completely flaccid with only a little shoulder blade shrugging capability right now
Hello Dr Tobias...I have 3 strokes. The first when I was 26, the second when I was 47 and the third two ago when I was 57. After the first I was hemiplegic but could still walk (with a limp)and I could talk normally. I think the third one affected the left of my brain because my right hand doesn't move normally and it goes numb very often. Plus I can't walk anymore and I can't talk well. Only my husband understands me and sometimes he doesn't. My question is: does my neck/ back hurt because I doesn't everything with the right side? ...I stand for 30 minutes every day and then I do exercise with some resistance bands for 2 to 3 hours and other exercises.

I had a strike december2021 with my leftside affected never went for physio so now in 2023 when i went to see the doctor for my appointment she referred me to a physio therapists in my town its a goverment hospital i am walkiing done that all by myself and the grace if God but my arm doent wanna come right but when i went to se this therapist her words to me was she sorry to be the barrier of bad news but there nothing she can do for me cause its already been 2yrs since i had the stroke i burst into tears just knowing i will never be able to use my arm again doing my girls hair keeping or bathe my grandchild or doing things for myself always having to depend on somebody else for assistance eveytime i just want to know is this true
I'm so sorry to hear this. Do not give up. Start to focus on your arm again as if it's just happened. Your brain doesn't know the time..... Look at the basic exercises that you should have started off with and try from there. I'm only a month since my stroke but everything I have read says even after years change can happen. I feel your pain ....cry but don't let that overtake you. Start thinking differently...reframe it.....ok do it's been 2yrs might be a bit harder but I'm gonna start this. Be kind to your brain too it doesn't mean to not work. I hope you get some movement x
In addition to various stretches, I do a lot of these or similar exercises every day. Some of the exercises in the second variant, for example the first shown lying down, I do while standing in a corner, because due to hemiplegia it is easier for me to control the angle of bending my arms laterally, or behind my back. I can confirm that I am making progress, it is not visible every day, but it is on a weekly basis. It's slowly but surely going. My wrist and fingers are the weakest, but that is logical because they are the furthest from the trunk. Thanks for the details, have a great week with Instagram of course.
Hello ! Thanks a lot for your videos , they are really helpful ❤️❤️❤️ My sister had a stroke nearly 5 months ago , she can now walk and move her ankle . She regained some arm and hand mouvement, actually she can close her fingers actively but she cant extend them actively ☹️ so please how can she regain this mouvement of opening ??? Ps: she has no spasticity( or sometimes just a little bit ) and her fingers are relaxed . And thanks again ❤️❤️❤️
🏆🏆🏆👍🇺🇲🙏. I wish I knew what to do to regain finger extension 😔. I have finger flexion. I do TENS stimulation and mirror box and acupuncture therapy, but nothing is working. I've even sought gene therapy. Thank you for sharing,
Hi Miguel! Thanks for this question! I don't think I have a video specific for just the shoulder blade but I do talk about it in most (if not all) the videos on shoulder exercises. I would try searching on youtube (rehab hq and shoulder exercises). I will also add to the list of future videos one specific for the shoulder blade :)
Like so much I’ve been experiencing since my stroke, my question is how do you get in position for a lot of these with no movement in the involved arm without someone there to help? I
dr. tara, this routine seams to require the ability to open the hand? i have some shoulder and elbow, so i see value with this, should i just ignore the hand position in these motions, or start even more basic?
Hi there! At what point would you perform these exercises beyond 90 degree point because of nerve impingement and scapula not moving the way it’s supposed to? Thanks!
Thank you but I am a late comer (had a stroke 8 years back and my left hand is NOW a CLOSED FIST). but I remember that even on the first day post ICU recovery, my left arm was just DEAD. could not even curl my fingers around the cane as you do in these exercises. Now, after 8 years, it is worse. Requires a bulldozer to force open my fist!. Anyway I regularly watch all yoUr HOLISTIC APPROAch to therapy, starting from neurology. Really appreciate your videos. Thanks. Your exercises to counter the HIP ROTATING OUTWARDS HAVE REALLY HELPED ME. THANKS.
Thanks for sharing your story Shyam! I am so glad these videos are helping you. Your story about your hand is very common. Keep stretching! Have a great week!
Thanks for sharing your infomation .iam a victor of that Stroke for 12 years .for me Thought the stroke wii come out by itself . However my Balance is not stable and my righth and my fingers are very weak what shall I do to bring the hand Shariff do
My son wasnin a near fatal car accident and has high radial nerve palsy with drop wrist on his left arm. He broke his left humerus and left shoulder blade and has ac joint seperation on the left arm as well. What would some exercises that he could do?
Do other patients have difficulty with repetitive motions? I first noticed my arm would spasm when I was using a hammer. Do I have to just repeat these exercises/stretches or is there something more specific needed?
Hi #Dr.TobiasIAm unable to straighten my elbow or point my thumb since my fingers are fisted and wrist bent ao. I can not face palms up eithe, can you suggest modified exercises for those of us with such limitations?
i had my stroke on dec 24th 2021 - i took rehab sessions (up to 4 hours a day) for months still my fingers and wrist is NOT moving at all. I watched every video you did and tried it all: any thoughts or suggestions about the fingers & wrist. will i ever regain theuse of them?
Hi Gregory! Thanks for watching and for your question!. Try it with just lying on your stomach with the arm in this position (without rolling). If you can't, have a slightly lower surface next to the mat you are laying on and place your arm on the lower surface. If that doesn't work, start with the cane stretch on your back (external rotation). I hope that helps!
Thank you Dr.Tara for this Masterclass! Can we use a elbow stabilizer instead of the plastic contraption that is shown in 10:45 of the video?(Gravity eliminated shoulder abduction)
@@rehabhqofficial Just get to the main points faster. Perhaps using a 1, 2, 3, ... approach would be quicker and clearer. Alternate channels on your topics are far and few in-between.

I had a brain hemorrhage and have severe pain in my arm front and mid back. Should we do these exercises if we have an impingement or sharp pains
لو سمحتي دكتورتي هل هذه التمارين تناسب شخص اصيب بسكته دماغيه قبل عشروون عام وهل يتحسن بعد هذه الفتره الزمنيه الطويله.
After how long we can start these exercises on stroke patient after hospital discharge?

No I think it's best to grip your hand then let go then as if you were making a muscle
dr. tara, this routine seams to require the ability to open the hand? i have some shoulder and elbow, so i see value with this, should i just ignore the hand position in these motions, or start even more basic?
What to do if there’s paralysis in the arm, no joints or muscles move without assistance?
Hi there! At what point would you perform these exercises beyond 90 degree point because of nerve impingement and scapula not moving the way it’s supposed to? Thanks!
Excellent question! If you do not have pain, it is ok to go above 90. I hope that helps!
