Thank you so much Dr. Gooch! You have no idea how much we have needed you since surgery almost 4 years ago. We are very excited to be working with you!
H am sorry to hear that. Check out another video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation Channel: Mirror therapy for hemiparesis. I hope you get some recovery.
I had a pilocytic astrocitoma 8 years ago and the resection resulted in my hemiparesis. I've been trying hard to find other people with the same diagnosis but no luck :/
How is hemiplegia diagnosed. I have a child that started crawling dragging one leg, then started holding fist in a ball, now doesn't use left arm and uses smos for pronation (all on the left side). We've seen neurologist and neurogeneticist (awaiting test for that) and all that shows is T2 hyperintensity in subcortical white matter (lesions). Because my child also has autism my concerns are being dismissed as autism. My question--what tests would show hemiplegia? Aren't their symptoms enough? She sees early intervetion PT & OT who also noticed one=sided preference...Thank you!
That certainly sounds like hemiplegia to me. Yes, it is a clinical diagnosis. Do you have any access to a pediatric physiatrist (doctor specializing in physical medicine and rehabilitation).
I have had many patients play sports with hemiplegia. It depends on the degree of hemiplegia and on the understanding of the coaches. I would certainly try. If you are not able to, try other sports.
My son is 12 years old has left hemiplegia and his left side I have noticed is smaller. The left foot shorter 1cm. His left toes of his left foot and left hand are smaller than the right. His teeths on the left side ..his left nostril smaller. Does anyone have the same problem? Thank you.please I want to know if you have the same problem .he can walk eat dress alone hes very smart just his left side is weak...
It is common to have the hemiplegic side be smaller, but I have not seen a mouth or nostril being smaller. Using the arm for weight bearing activities, jumping on the leg can help this to some extent.
@@salimpatel1924 hello first of all dont panic..my son now hes 16 years old.he can walk and he exersice in the gym !!now hes a teenager and he grow stonger!ok he wasnt strong as the kids of his age ..he limps a little ! but now that hes a teenager i see signifigant difference hes STRONGER!!!doctors didnt understand that he had hemiparesis WHEN HE WAS A BABY .we notice at almost 2,5 years old because he couldnt walk and couldnt crawl!many years we made fysiotherapy.thank god the doctor said that he could be a lot of severe but hes condition is mild..please dont stress and do your best to help him.be strong to support him and never show that you feel sorry of him.also my son hes extremly smart and he has a very good memory..:) whatever you need feel free to ask
@@elenikariolemou7363 thanks a lot maam....when I hear this kind of comments i feel motivated and stressfree....but when I look at my son again I go in depression and stressful life 😢..... thank you very much maam for removing such a big burden frm my mind and plz keep updating me abt every age....🙂
@@salimpatel1924 i understand that its difficult for you .and for me the first years was very difficult an i was feelling very very bad when i was thinking about my sons future..but thats life be strong for your kid..and thank god .be strong! And start fysiotherapy immediately
At two months it is hard to know how much improvement there will be. However, stimulation is extremely important. Even if it is not completely cured, you can get a lot of improvement.
@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation part from stimulation, do I need to consult a neurologist for further treatment considering that my baby is still very young? just 2 months old.
Hi mam , my son is 2 yr old and diagnosed hemiparesis. Few days ago we noticed that his left hand in 1 inch thin than right hand .can I do it as right hand by exercise ?
Have do so as much as he can with his left hand, particularly weight bearing on the arm. An occupational or physical therapist can help you know how to do this.
i’m 15 and got left hemiplega when i was a baby because the doctors cut my cord too early, but my parents took me to this place that gave me lots of exercises, my leg corrected, my eye and my tounge, but my arm not so much, i still have some use with mr left arm but can’t do things such as: move individual fingers, or turn my arm upside down. But one thing i wish would change is my wrist is just bent, you could say, it’s not straight and i really wish it would be, please help if you can!
A bent wrist is really common in hemiparesis. Sometimes a splint can help. Also, Botox or Dysport injections can help. Check out the playlist on spasticity on this channel for some of those videos. Also, sometimes surgery can help.
Hey Evan, I am 14 years old and my problems are alot like yours. Is there a way i can contact you because i have some questions and i would be very happy if you respond to them.
@@evnview i see that you posted that comment 3 years ago. Is your wrist better? If is, what did you made to make it better? And i can't use my fingers individually. I can't close one finger or show something with my index finger. Is there a way to change that? Lastly i see you made so much progress with the gym. Should i go to the gym?
See the video on mirror therapy on this channel and see if that helps get even a little movement. Also, electrical stimulation can help when there is no movement.
On the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation RUclips channel there are other videos on stretching that might be helpful: Stretching leg with Rapunzel, Stretching arm. There may be others on the cerebral palsy playlist. I started this site for people to find things they can do at home. Often insurance does not cover enough therapy.
Thnku so much mam🙏🏻🙏🏻... but mam my baby is not supportive while doing exercises or any other activities.... So should i still use this jacket or not???
Thank you so much Dr. Gooch! You have no idea how much we have needed you since surgery almost 4 years ago. We are very excited to be working with you!
Thank you so much! hopefully this will help me. I've been really having hard time moving my left side of my body especially my left fingers
Thanks for sharing I’m going through this now I got in a car accident had a stroke and now my left arm and hand are useless
H am sorry to hear that. Check out another video on the Utah Neuro Rehabilitation Channel: Mirror therapy for hemiparesis. I hope you get some recovery.

Hallo Frau, mein Sohn ist 13 Monate alt und er krabbelt ein wenig und kann schnell stehen, wenn er sich an etwas festhält, das ihm hilft

Sorry if i am interupting but i think you missed my messages notification
my daughter's right side of the body is not supporting ..is.hemiparalysis cureable
It is not curable, but you can usually improve it. Has she worked with therapists?
What if it’s severely subluxed?
That is tough. Have you seen a physical or occupational therapist or physiatrist to look at it?
Adaptive bikes are so expensive... My daughter is six she's had this since birth from stroke.
They are way too expensive!!
My daughter is only 15 months old and has suffered a stroke, due to which her left arm is not working.
Sorry to hear. How is she doing? Has she gotten assistance with physio
How when it doesn’t move?
See the video on mirror therapy on this channel and see if that helps get even a little movement. Also, electrical stimulation can help when there is no movement.
Injection name please for spasticity
I need it a lot: for my daughter
me also
How are your daughters doing now
My 8 years old daughter has a left hemiplegia... But we dont have enough knowlege for her situation and we cannot afford to go to therapist

@@UtahNeuroRehabilitation is hemiparesis and hemiplegia the same? please enlighten
I am going for physiotherapy... Is it enough for her.. What are other ways to recover her.. 17months now
It is super important to practice exercises at home each for at least a few minutes. Your therapist should be able to give you a home program.
Hello mam, Can you plz tell me the name of the black jacket that little girl is wearing?
It is a compression vest. You can look it up under Deep Pressure Compression Sensory Vest.
You do not need the vest. You can use a glove.
Thnku so much mam🙏🏻🙏🏻... but mam my baby is not supportive while doing exercises or any other activities.... So should i still use this jacket or not???
The vest can help with support if the child has no trunk strength.
Thnku mam🙏🏻
My dauter also suffed like this... Now she is 11/2yrs...what r d treatment helps her to recover.. Plz share
Mam plz reply as early as possible 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
