Very helpful! My takeaways - 1. Shifting weight onto the involved leg to ‘calm that tantrum child’ 😀 2. Stretching /strengthening exercises with ankle dorsiflexion. 3. Stay positive 4. Remember neuroplasticity!
Thank you so much. I am 48 year old with longterm adem. After 10 years of physio and occupational theraphy i found your viseos. I have learned more and made more progress in 3 months than all the previous years. Forever grateful. Thank you.
With so many sequels that I have on my left side of my body after a stroke on my cerebellum, one of the main issues that I have is that my foot lands to fast on the ground and I have a hard time to lift my ankle from the ground and sometimes I am taking the step and my affected food is on the air, then I suddenly I lose my balance because I feel like a force pulled back so strong that I have to rely on my walking cane.
Dr. Tara, again as per usual you are absolutely correct! I experienced clones after my stroke first occurred! Almost 14 years ago. Putting weight on the leg would stop this. Unfortunately my lack of proper stretching, aging, improper walking techniques, and perhaps loss of muscle strength, the clones has returned. In fact last year I had to return to utilize a raised extension for my toilet seat. As with most life lessons, I learn the hard way. Now with you great help, I am back on the road to recovery . Thank you young Lady for your selfless service and concern for others! Kind Christian regards Ron Padlo
once again thank you so much for the advice. I have become discouraged because of pain in my left leg. hard to sleep but I think this might help. I was doing these exercises but moved on from them. this it a new development.
I had lots of clonus with lower extremities in early stage of recovery. Now six years after my stroke, I have clonus in my arm. Mostly I had it at night. So, I used to get up and walk a little then go back to bed. Sometimes, it happened all night long. As my affected muscles went on-line with brain it reduced. But, if i started using a muscles recently, it will still happen. Now i know not to get irritated by its occurrence.
Hello doctor, My problem is with plantar flexors which has spasticity . Could you please let me know some exercises to overcome from the issue.. please please. Thanks in advance
Dr Tabais, it is always a pleasure watching your videos which plays a major part in my recovery from stroke. Are you planning to do a similar video for clones in the left arm following a large right mac?
💛😃 Yes Dr. Tara you have lots of stretching and loading exercises also in the previous videos. I had the pointing at nighttime in bed, with severe leg straight spastics. It went away with the stretching, mostly the moderate lunges and exercises for standing on that one leg. 💛⭐
Dr,i did also had clonus in my foot and i go to special doctor here and she gave me a botox shot in the back of my knee. It works 1,5 years or you can make an appointment when the clonus appear again.
My leg will bounce when I put weight on it- I place my hand on it it stops -it's quite comical-if I'm under the weather ataxia really kicks in and I'm shaken bouncy n in wannacry kinda pain I am amazed how the human body reacts-this was very enlightening I can deal with it
i hsve terrible clonus and definir fall in the learnednon use category I cannot find the videoe that were said to be in the discription. only the amszon links snd ive been checking to see if you do virtual appointments, please help. its terribly painful to walk because of clonu including neuropathy
Clonus. Three things you look at cerebral palsy spinal cord damage, or multiple sclerosis. Doctors don’t generally like to look at contrast imaging of your brain. It stops all of the testing they don’t make money on it. You have to look at all underlying signs.
I don’t have such problems while walking, but when I go to bed at night, then it happens occasionally with breaks at night. is it the same problem, is it a subclonus or something else? Thank you very much.
Hi Dr tara when i bend my effect knee when walking my toes bend under especialy my big toe so ehen not load bearing in that leg i do stretching what am i doing wrong thank you x
I am eight months out from a double ischemic stroke, and have made far greater progress in recovery than anyone expected haven’t been told I would never walk again. Through a hell of a lot of hard work and I’m able to walk almost completely normal and have about 50% functional use of the arm recovered which brings me to my question about clueless: most everything I’m seeing on the subject focuses on the leg. Where I experience it is in my arm, in particular, when I try to reach out for a full extension of my arm, it will begin to shake in the rhythmic way that I believe is clueless, and not spasticity. I have two questions then:1. How can you determine the difference between lingering spasticity and clonus? And 2. Since my guess is that I’m experiencing clonus out of either my tricep or bicep, how should I address treating this?
I had clonus on my left side (affected side) early on. Mostly from overuse or over stretching. I would stop and reposition and try again. Or try with the other foot. I did find stretching helped get rid of it. I dont get it much anymore.
I have temperature problems since my stroke ! My left arm and left leg are now v, after my stroke that I had September 2020, always cold and are really cold to the touch, is this normal? I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 🥰
Hello Dr. I have spasticity in my ankle and weak hamstrings too due to which my knee goes into hyperextension. Now my question is to prevent this should I use AFO or go for a knee ROM brace. Thanks in advance
Hi Dr. Tara, this was a very interesting video! I only learned the other day that I have clonus. My orthotist found it when he was fitting me with my first set of AFO's. I think I've had it my whole life, because my legs have always done that bouncing twitch thing you showed at 3:35 when I'm sitting and I push up onto my toes. I've never had a stroke, nor do I have CP or MS, or any other neuromuscular disease. The only thing I can think of with regard to where it came from is that I was born three and a half months premature and suffered a brain bleed and repeated episodes of apnea, as well as requiring cannula oxygen for the first year after I was born. Could these kinds of things be enough to cause brain damage that leads to clonus?
I have ankle clonus diagnosed by my physiatrist. When I went to the Wikipedia and the Internet to read about it I found several references the condition sometimes being caused by SSRIs and SNRIs. I was on both Sertraline and Trazadone. The Sertraline was prescribed because there was a study or two suggesting that it contributed to improved fine motor control recovery in stroke patients. The Trazadone has been presdribed for 20 or more years for sleep. I stopped taking the Serrtraline after a discussion with the doctor and the clonus went away completely with a week. I am thinking about trying to wean off the Trazadone because it has anticholinergic effects. Do you have any experience with this or comments?
Thank you for the comment! When it comes to medications, do not change anything without talking to your doctor. Some medications can cause serious medical conditions if you stop taking them without a doctors guidance.
@@rehabhqofficial yes they are common. I got to know after Engaging with Other Patients. But1. I would like some tips to share friends and family on how to bring the Seizure down or First-aid to immediately take after noticing one, 2. Are there any indications or warnings before getting one? 3. Are they hereditary ?
Yes I love the way you both explain and show how to overcome the problem we face . I have learnt a lot from the videos you shared. Excersize you taught helped me a lot. God bless you angel ❤❤
Good evening im a stroke survivor i have problem of jumping one leg in the skipping rope of my affected leg i couldnt jump more than two times. I think my muscle on my foot sole is weak. Can i ask you what is the best exercise or treatment in my problem.thank you
Thank you for watching and for commenting! What exactly is the problem you would like me to cover? Do you want progressions for returning to jumping again?
@@rehabhqofficial Whenever I try to jump using my affected leg, it seems so hard to make as many jumps as my other leg because it's so difficult to bounce back everytime, and I feel that the muscles in my center sole is so weak to do so.
Hi Dr. Tara, I'm almost 3 years out of a hemorrhagic stroke, left side affected, I think I've got clonus in my upper limb, Could you please do a video about it? Love your videos.
Thank you for watching and for the suggestion! This is a broad category that causes a ton of movement problems. What type of movement problems are you having trouble with? (ie: balance, walking, turning your head, fine motor, speaking...etc)

As a stroke patient, the "off" switch for Clonus is putting your heel on the ground. That's way easier than it sounds. That will stop the problem.

Great Video. Your thoughts on fore foot walking. Thanks
In addition to Clonus, I've been diagnosed with drop foot, but I don't think I have either. Instead, I think I have ordinary tone or spastictity
How is the best way to practice walking on grass? It’s frightening

Madam what about upper extremity clonus
May i request you to give inputs on seizures please.
Thanks for the suggestion! What would you like to know about seizures? They are pretty common after a stroke and/or a brain injury.
