After workout yesterday I said "I need to find more to do! I startthis conditioning program! Prayers for everyone's recovery!
Thank you very much Dr. Tobias!
I saw one TH-camr numbered all his videos which is really helpful for us to look for a specific video/subject . God bless!
Hi, many thanks for your videos. I'm working with an 88 yr old recovering from a stroke. Exercise is truly helping in brain recovery. Recovery is more like a marathon, it's taking time. But, we are getting there. I understand your not a fan of a recumbent elliptical, but, I'm introducing this into our routine. I really believe Mom can ditch the wheelchair in the coming months. We are being discharged soon from outpatient PT. I'm grateful that your videos are available so we can continue on this wellness journey. Thank you!!
Thank you. I needed to see this. I’ve been getting pain in my unaffected knee after walking. I’m taking a couple of days off with some ice then I’ll look at your gait exercises again.
The few PT sessions I had, having me walk was just for evaluation. Most every bit of my rehab takes place at or around home. Shoveling the 16 inches of snow off the driveway was good for me. The important thing was to do it in twenty minute shifts over two days and that made my muscles a little sore and tired, the good kind of feeling. I have stated before that your videos helped me so much before I could get physical therapy as well as after. Thank you.
Thank You Dr. Tobias.
I've been struggling with spacticity and contractures due to spina bifida (I walk with crouch gait) my whole life and i feel like i found gold mine in this channel. Thank you for all you videos i've watching a great deal of them, espicially those about foot drop since I've been dealing with it after a surgery to remove knee contracture. can you please talk about flexion spasticity and contractures in the hip, knees and ankles? I know that they might not be as common as extenstion spasticity in those areas but I feel like some people (including me) will benfit from them, also a video on externally oriented foot would be very appreciated.
Thank you very much for all your videos.
Thank you! This subject is exactly what I am after. I can walk 1 km, then I drop dead completely. It is very frustrating. I was wondering how I could improve. Here you are!!
☀️🧡☀️ Yes yes yes Dr. Tara, that is it. Moving everyday, doesn't matter where when and if in PJ in the morning, in front of TV or outside. I still do not dare to walk free outside but in the last 3.5 years there was so much progress thanks to your videos and constant walking and the small exercises all over the day. It is the daily effort that counts. There are good and bad days. But no day without leg lifts, arm lifts and all your exercises to keep the body system on good level. Good days are with walking exercises, stretches, lunges, backward walking, your balance exercises and constant "dancing" to music.
There are no differences from day to day, but the improvements from year to year are massive. And bad days are less and less and I look forward to my first beach walk this summer 😀😀🏝🏝 so lots of thanks and greetings from Hamburg 🧡🧡☀️☀️
Hi Nina! I always love it when you "pop back in" to the comments with these amazing words of encouragement! I hope everyone reads this and knows that they can do it to! I am excited for your next adventure! (beach walk). Btw, Chico says hello as well. 😊
Agreed! This comes from personal experience with 26 years living with spasticity! Love my elliptical.
Listen to her!
Yes Franny! Thanks for sharing!
Hello Dr. Tobias - Thanks for your most helpful videos. I'm 48 months out. What do you think of recumbent road trikes? You mentioned you were not a fan of recumbents. I was a long distance biker before my stroke and am trying to get back. On a recumbent trike, the pedal stroke is like on a normal bike and not a push stroke like the stationary bike in your video.
I have been watching your valuable videos since 2&1/2 years n helped a lot to my husband after his discharge from ruptured brain aneurysm .l can say he got much benefit from your videos rather than his regular physiotherapy sessions here.Now he is able to walk without assistance 15 mins daily . ofcourse with out perfection.l hope he will get.His foot drop is reducing but his affected leg is not taking weight on par with other leg eventhough he is using AFO .Can you please advise? Tons of thanks for your valuable videos.
Thanks for sharing this! I am so glad to learn that your husband is getting better! Don't give up on that foot!
These are mostly fitness exercises. Does stretching count at that time as well? Every day I do about 20 minutes of various stretching, after a break walking. Have a nice week
Hi Darko! This is an excellent question! Stretching is great and is super important to a well rounded fitness routine post stroke. But there needs to be specific activities to maintain health. I talk about that in this video. I hope that helps!
Do you consider a Cubii Elliptical for people that can't stand a good way to exercise?
I can't walk long distances by increasing spastic stiffness but I'm not after stroke. Tetraparesis. I train walking three times a week 20-30 minutes. The rest days two times gym workout 1h and pilates plus stretching 1 h. I think this isn't enough but I have a job and I'm overloaded.
How do i get your contact ? Thank you.
DR. Tara can you please tell us how to break a fall?
Hi Luke! This is a great idea for a future video! Thanks for watching this one and for sharing. Stay tuned!
I developed ataxia 4 years ago. Been in some sort of PT consistently ever since. Been in a wheelchair the whole time. I have terrible balance. Will I ever improve?
Good motning. I have MS. I have problems with my balance. I cant do floor exercises to improve, because if i get on the floor i wont be able to yet up. I fall ioften How can i improve my balane while sitting?

I have a stroke in 2013 I am short of breath nice I going start this Immediately my hand don’t move is it to late for my hand I was a Musician and a Truck Driver this have ruined by my Chances of money any suggestions and my right leg is 70 percent and Last my going hurts when I ride I bike and I have a fear of Balance because I felt so often
PLEASE address this issue: I dont feel a "burn" basically ever when I do exercises for my affected side - like the croutch walking for instance or anything that you would normally feel a burn on that side..or other isolated exercises for the glutes or quads. I know I'm doing them correctly as per my physiotherapist. She even sees my glutes activating. I can't find this issue addressed anywhere online! What's wrong with me? Is this a sensory issue (I have decent sensation on my legs) or are my muscles not functioning properly? I always feel something on my other side, even if it's not moving, but as a stabilizer! It makes me feel like im accomplishing nothing. I can end up looking tired on that side (after exercise quality of my walk is looking tired for instance)...but i don't FEEL tired, if that makes sense. Please discuss this!! I can't find any answers!! This is 1 year post stroke.
my problem is my foot, i have problem walking because it curled ,is there other solution,how can i do or perform excercise.,pls help me.
i get it outside due to poor balance “brain says no” panic then i have to take a big breath in and tell myself you can do this if you fall so what you always have your mobile in your pocket you have to readjust like you did when you first started walking post stroke and your foot sticks to the floor step by step tell your brain you can and you will
Thanks for watching and for sharing Robina! You bring up a good point. I failed to mention that fear and/or anxiety can also make someone short of breath. :) I like your strategy of calming your mind down......but please don't fall. Nothing good comes out of falling 😊
thought for all
tip for you practice makes permanent not necessarily perfect if you repeatedly make a mistake that becomes permanent break a fall by relaxing into it
Doc if you want to see me check our Aron’s latest stroke tv episode
Is using a Adjustable Twist Stepper with Height Adjust Handlebars helpful?
#ataxia
I am not familiar with that piece of equipment but I think if you follow the basic principles in this video you can use whatever equipment that is enjoyable. I hope that helps!
I had a stroke in Dec 2022. It was a Hemorrhagic stroke. My leg healed while I was in the hospital, so I am walking. but my left arm is still flassik with a subluxed shoulder. I am in rehab, but I am really hurting in my shoulder and my arm won't bend at the elbow. My OT has me on the muscle stimulation hand bike. Is that why my muscles are aching?
I had a hemorrhagic stroke July 2023 I can walk with a hemi walker with a AFO brace. I can lift my left arm a little but not raising my arm up or movement of the fingers.
I always appreciate your product recommendations, including ones you don’t recommend. But, one benefit I’ve noticed in using a recumbent bike is that it has helped with walking downhill (for whatever reason).
I would much rather walk uphill, so when I noticed this about a month after using the bike regularly, it was quite noticeable, walking around the neighborhood with a lot of uneven terrain. 😅
Thanks again for this video series!
Hey Tara i feel so frustrated sometimes
do deep breathing helps in stabilizing oneself
Yes!
Mam is thread mill how help in spasticity
Thanks for watching and for the question! I do not think the treadmill is the best for someone who has moderate spasticity.
@@rehabhqofficial what do you recommend in place of the treadmill?
@@relaxwithnature6532 Hi Tamara! I give cardio equipment recommendations at the end of the video :)
@@rehabhqofficial that’s what I realized thank you.
First view 😊
