Relax a Spastic Or Tight Stroke Arm

- Does your arm feel tight and difficult to move after a stroke? Let us relax that stroke arm in this video.
After a stroke your arm may either be flaccid and lacking tone or spastic and tight. In this video we will try to loosen up a spastic and tight arm which usually happens a few days or weeks after a stroke.
We will massage areas that are tight to relax them in so that you will be getting some mobility on your arm.
We will be massaging from top to bottom. We will massage from the shoulder down to our fingers.
So first we will massage the shoulder that includes our trapz or trapezius muscle.
You might notice that your shoulder is like when you are trapezius muscle is always contracted. So who real massage that area using or knuckles or if you can’t reach just use your fingers start from the side of the neck in the back of your neck going towards your shoulder. Avoid bony prominences that will be irritating. Do about 10 to 15 slow passes.
The next area that we need to massage will be our chest. Start from the middle going to your armpit and under your collarbone. Do about 10 to 15 slow passes.
The next area is the top-front area of your arm or your anterior deltoid. Massage that area for about 10 to 15 passes.
When your elbow is bent and curled up, you biceps is usually tight. Gently massage that area for 10 to 15 slow passes. But if your arm is straight and rigid that way, then your triceps is the one that is part. Using your finger tips for your entire hand, massage the back part of your arm slowly stretch the elbow to the direction where it is difficult to move.
The next area to massage is your forearm. You can palpate or feel around your forearm and find areas that are very tight massage those areas for about 10-15 slow passes.
Your wrist is also most likely tight as well which curls up your hand and fingers. Massage that area across the grain for about 10 to 15 passes.
If you can access the palm of your hand, massage the fatty part of your thumb first and then inside your hand go slow because if you go fast come on there is a primitive reflex that will make that and close tighter.
Finally if you are able to open your hand, start with your thumb and gently massage it towards your finger tip or nails. Do the same with the rest of the fingers. If you cannot open your head because it is still very tight, watch the video on how to open your hand by clicking on the link.
I sincerely hope that you were able to Relax the muscles that are tight in order for you to manage thw spasticity if your arm with the stroke.

I had a one hour flight to deep Massage on a spastic hemi plegic client who is left side was affected and a constant contraction two days afterwards her unexpected unaffected her right side was sore and stiff. I am not sure if client hydrated well can this be due tofacial issues or was I doing something incorrectly?
It could be several factors. Like dehydration or electrolytes imbalance. Best to see her doctor for proper diagnosis

I don't hear on one talk about my problem so me a problem with my stroke hand when me trying hold anything my hand is shaking alot. Please so please comment it for me please please and thank
It is because of weakness and the motor coordination still needs improvement. Constat practice with reaching, holding and release will help. Start with bigger but lighter objects such as plastic cups or balls then go smaller and smaller

Me sir 2years stroke affected left arm I have a strong now my problem is cannot open my fingers what I'm doing sir thank you
How about fingers that don't close after a stroke
does aphasia stroke cause you to start hitting things, because that's what I have been going through and dealing with for most of my life? I guess I kind of get the urge to start getting aggressive and I think it's along the lines of OCD?
Not mecessarily. But the stroke ca cause you to have impulse control problems or having aggressive behavior. Better see a neurologist to confirm
CAN YOU MAKE VIDEO FOR WRITERS CRAMP TOO..my hands feel weak also..please help Thnks nathan i am following your exercises from 17 october 2022 for my hand tremors.. They got reduced 80 percent till now..

Is it for stroke rehab with tight arm and shoulder?
Yes. My arm tends to be internally rotated and I don’t have the immobilizer that rehab has.

My husband had a stroke for a year now. Is it still possible for his hand to stretched?
Yes. But slow and consistent
No physical therapy except for a couple of months that is why im doing it myself DONOTgo to el monte eastland subacute
It's been more than 5 years
I got stroke one year back left hand not working fully. Remedy pls
Remedy is daily practice.
hello ! how i contact you ? i am from pilippines.
Dito nlng po. 🙏🏼
Due to lack of budget on my papa's theraphy we're imunable ro help him with regular PT for about six years now po. Na stroke po si papa noong 2017, pero still 0 obility p rn po sa right hand nya po, though nakakalad nmn po si papa ko, may chance pa poba maka blik ng galawa ung gnitong case? Thank you po sa sagoot
Mahirap po. Pero the goal is to keep the arm as flexible as possible so daily stretch twice a day or more. Get a spling to keep the hand open. Pag mas flexible na, then practice the movement. Bu that time mas madaming repetition, mas manbuti
nathan, how do i contact you? i am in Japan, had stroke 2 years ago.
fyi, bisaya ko.
Instagram or here is good
Is eight or nine months post stroke to late?????
Not at all. But please be more consistent. The more stretching and practice you do, the better will the plasticity if the brain will happen
@@SKILLSANDWELLNESS No offense, but just how "consistent" do I need to be when I just asked a simple question????? Good to know. Anyways, thanks for your input. Akin.
my finger didnt move after stroke since 2018 on the left
Sorry to hear that. Is it spastic and tight? Please movilize and stretch. Better if you can wear a splint. Start for jist one hour and build it up until you can wear it longer.
Bro oil name plzz
Eucalyptus and tea
I dont think my husbands OT knoqs what she was soing. She always forces my husbands hand down to stretch it to level it on his wheelchair armchair.
She is trying to stretch the hand theough weight bearing. Which decreases spasticity. Ask her to explain why she is doing something. Im sure she knows she cares
@@SKILLSANDWELLNESS i have been working with my husband’s left arm. Even though it has been a year since his stroke I am not giving up. Have a question? He was supposed to get a botox again for his arm. He has done it before. In your opinion will it really helps his arm? What so you think about botox?
Fodong
leg massage po panu po
Noted po. Gawa din akong ng video nyan
I’ve had Botox shots but they’ve worn out now. That was 13 years ago
You might want to ask another round from your doctor. For now, stretch and mobilize
Does that work? One of my mom’s physical therapist mentioned that also. Was it painful and how long did it last?
Your exercises are so helpful; this is exactly what i need to do for my mom at home between her outpatient PT appointments. She suffered a massive stroke 11/24/20, has global asphasia; can’t speak or move her right side, yet. We’re hopeful and are pushing on. Thank you for what you do; appreciate it. I purchased different splints to put on her so she wouldn’t end of with that contracted stroke arm.
