Great news lm 82 and for the last fifteen years l have been in a Marching Team and l am still going strong l also go to exercise class twice a week and will do as long as lm standing 👌😂💪💪👏👏👏
That’s awesome. My grandma lived to 96 and was in a seniors exercise class at that age. She even did a little bit of a chin up on a tree branch and demonstrated her exercise ball 2 weeks before she passed away! 😁 It’s great to hear of elderly staying active!
I have lesions, asked my neurologist if I could have dementia, she said no. My arms don't swing..... I noticed this and have made a conscious effort to swing them, so thank you for this! This has also helped explain my daughter's dyslexia. You are amazing, enjoy your channel so much!
My right arm rarely swings, and I believe this started a few decades ago. I also had calcific tendonitis in that shoulder. I'm going to make a point of getting it to swing.
I love standing upright & walking, looking around at the environment & sky. Taking in deep breathes & rejoicing in the natural world. The effect of the motion cures everything for me. We were hunter gatherers for 100s of thousands of years. It’s such a natural process. Just had a grandchild. She gets so excited going outdoors.
I have been walking with Nordic walking sticks for several years which forces the arms to swing and maintains arm muscles. It might be helpful for seniors to start doing this as dementia prevention. It is also fun and exercises almost all muscles in the body.
This is wonderful info. I'm 71 and work with seniors in an activity center. Never had heard this before watching your video. I've been intentionally noticing how I'm walking. Also, watching my family and friends! Bless you, Dr Ekberg!!!

This is incredible , it’s one of the few times I have heard Cross Crawl mentioned and the impact on dyslexia . Used Cross Crawling with great success on improving my dyslexia . It certainly changed my life for the better.
We used to lived in Shanghai China for 7 years. We've noticed that the older people walk in the park almost everyday but not only that, they also walk backwards. We were curious and so we asked and they said... it's good for the brain. Then maybe it is.
Parkinson's... My sister was diagnosed 4 years ago. She began going to the gym, was doing well, but stopped. Within a few months, she needed a walker, she kept falling, her feet not responding to catch balance. Now, she's chair bound all the time, has a live-in aide. I've another friend with Parkinson's who was diagnosed well over 10 years ago. Every day he works hard around his property, cutting, splitting, stacking firewood. He builds things, sheds, structures, hauls stone and puts in his downhill driveway to prevent washout. He works hard, every day. He is a musician, he has a studio, spends his nights recording his own songs and songs of friends. In the past few months, he has lost the ability to sing and play an instrument at the same time, but he knows how to recruit friends to back him up. He is fearless. Two weeks ago, he hiked 38 miles of the Appalachian Trail, full overnight pack, in Pennsylvania.... it is quite rocky in places. His gait is somewhat compromised, and his speach is slurred... but he pushes on, stays active, and as vigorous as possible. He inspires me.
@@maciejguzek3442 Yes, she is. What I'm pointing out is that physical activity will extend a Parkinson's mobility. My friend is still staunchly independent, whereas my sister is not. Keep moving, working, working out.
Fascinating! I knew about the link between babies who don't crawl and dyslexia, but I had not heard that the lack of a proper gait is a harbinger of dementia. Thank you so much, Dr. Ekberg! Very helpful information!
I too took applied kinesiology classes and we did testing before and after such exercises for muscle strength. This cross crawl patterning occasionally worked the opposite for some people. And also if simply holding a nickel could sap an otherwise strong muscle consider all the effects of clutching phone devices. I’ve not tested it but am curious.
I remember Billy Connolly saying a guy stopped him and said, "I'm a brain surgeon, I've seen you walking around the hotel and i'd advise you to see your Doctor immediately" and that's how he found out he had Parkinson's.
Similar story, I was at the pool and a guy came over and said he was a doctor and told me to get a mole checked out. When I got home I got my doctor to look at the mole and told him about the doctor at the pool. Turns out it was a melanoma cancer and they got it at stage 1.
@@davidlarson9975 Unfortunately, the moles got to my mugwort before I could get to them. My arm swing too slow and uncoordinated. What a complicated garden we live in! I should have brought a couple of the snakes in a plane back with me to the yard. But even then they likely would have slithered past my uneven gates. Thanks to this video I will have that fixed. But that's not exactly a walk in the park & sons keep asking "are we yet there" but I think what they meant was "are we there yet". I really should not have pushed them to walk before their time. So now we all take yoga classes to relearn how to crawl all over again and since I join them they say I look like a crawl-daddy. But that's what I mentia do de whole time.

@@drekberg I wish you had shown a video of someone walking with a proper arm swing. How are we supposed to know how far to swing them? And lastly, isn't there any acceptable variation among individuals? Please respond, thank you.
@@Cosmo-Kramer .. take notice of arm swing in groups of people in public places/shopping malls. I am benefiting from these vids for my own health concerns. Practice, practise. 😉
So glad this 3 year old video popped up this morning ! Thank you ! Reading comments made me look up standing cross crawl. I have to remember to do this and incorporate arm swings ! Thanks again !
Look at JB walking with a shuffle, holding an index card, with seven instructions for a seven minute public appearance, in one of the non swinging arms and draw your own conclusions regarding the function of that brain.
The doctors and farmacy industry love to help you. Even when you can help to yourself. We are the best diagnosist to ourselves. Thank you for the advices . I am 56 years old and I work on my heath by the guidelines from you and some other doctors. And I feel much better every day. I was on the downfall road, but now I feel great. Thank you.
In my 30s learning standing “cross crawl” was the ticket for me to learning to balance the left & right hemispheres of my brain. I was learning flamenco dance at the same time and went from acting like I had 2 left feet to having my feet fluidly know exactly when and where my feet were to go merely by focusing my listening to the music. Two speech therapists in the “brain gym” class shared how astounded they were in their young clients’ speech when the first dud cross crawl exercises. We are definite believers.
Swing your arms evenly. What can help is to lead with your shoulders first, then yours arms will follow. By leading with your shoulders, your spine will have a slight twisting movement, lubricating and nourishing your discs. Try it.🚶🏻♀️👍
@@rosannazink9140, It can help to restore or prevent further height loss. You don’t have to “overdo” the twist. A slight twist is enough. Also, on your daily walks, try to put a slight lift upward from the balls of your feet with each step to achieve a small “bounce” in your step. You don’t want to walk flat footed with no bounce where you place your heal down and do not lift up slightly onto the balls of your feet. This movement is probably more difficult than just the arm swinging because you have to put a lot more energy into it and it’s more fatiguing when you are new with it. Your calf muscles will get exercised for sure. It’s difficult to do this because we can get lazy and forget to add this part of your walk. I’ve forgotten this part many times because if your back hurts, you will naturally want to avoid this and gradually leave it out. If your back hurts, just do a slighter rise up on the balls of your feet, but at least try to engage your calf muscles.👍
I've always understood that by swinging your arms while walking it improved your blood circulation.! Now that I understand the other factors related to arm swing I will certainly be more conscious of my own while walking!
It's fascinating to learn that something as simple as arm swinging while walking can predict dementia risk! This highlights the importance of movement and physical activity in maintaining brain health. I'm eager to discover more about how this correlation works and what it means for early detection and prevention strategies. Thank you for sharing this intriguing information!
When COVID forced many of us to become homebodies, I spent most of my days inside my house. Six months of a sedentary non mobile (no walks around the neighborhood) I began having trouble walking. Stumbled a lot and had forgotten how to maintain my gait. Watching others walk, I realized I was not swinging my arms. At first, I had to force myself to swing my arms as I walked. Soon I was naturally swinging my arms as I walked. This simple change has allowed me to regain my natural gait and balance. I now walk daily and after a couple of months, I no longer struggle or stumble as I walk. I love my daily walks and look forward to getting out of the house every day.
After stroke , other brain parts relearn to communicate , and can bring back a lot of lost movements. Good point to remind ourselves about it. Use it or lose it.
My Mom was always afraid of developing dementia. Since watching this I realize now that maybe she could have worried less if she had known this because she walked every day and swung her arms. She was sharp as a tack until she passed of pancreatic cancer.
In the early ‘60s I was a child with reading problems, now known as dyslexia. My folks did everything they could to teach me to read. I was like a lab animal going from specialist to specialist. Many were not just doctors specializing in this or that, but researchers, researching this and that. They researched my eyes, my balance, my blood chemistry, my hearing, and certainly my sanity. They never found a cure. I eventually taught myself how to read at 24. I remember if Physician mad me do crawling exercises that emphasized looking at my forward hand and crawling with good and exaggerated form. They were humiliating. Had I done them better, longer, or more often perhaps they would have helped or perhaps they did help but slowly.
This is amazing information. My father in law started walking like he was holding suitcases . He stood very awkwardly, leaning to one side and would sometimes lose his balance. He was diagnosed with parkinson's about 7 years ago and unfortunately he passed away in Monday.
TQ Dr Stan I am 70 years old I can still swing my arms forward and backward 15 times each way Straight up, Touching Shoulder to shoulder both ways and every way Thank you so much for this program This insight I will forward to ad many people as I can Sharing is caring You care for us You are sharing TQ. TQ, TQ ✌️
Thank You @timlester3422 so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
~Just went over this topic with my husband about a niece of mine who is now in College! We weren't sure if she was going to make the leap smoothly.. ( she has had some large social development issues to overcome). She is flourishing independently though, and one of the tings we were always aware of was with her; was her lack of arm swim when walking. She was never dyslexic but she was exposed to an MAOi in the womb due to my sisters doctor NOT taking her off the drug soon enough during her first trimester! I do believe our attention and awareness about what this means has heavily influenced how well we were able to pull her through! FANTASTIC VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING ON IT!
I almost got kicked out of basic training because my arm and leg on the same side moved together while marching. It stood out out like like a sore thumb in formations and made the instructor's head explode. They made me guard the canteens during the graduation parade. Wish I had this info then.
I am so glad I found this information. I am 52 but I’ve noticed that I am becoming uncoordinated and losing my balance a lot. I was diagnosed with vertigo. I will pay more attention to the arm swing It might help with the unsteadiness.
Unsteadiness can also be helped by practicing just standing on one leg. You can do it at home, or even in a queue in a supermarket. My sister lost all hearing in one ear due to a virus, leaving her balance all over the place, (for a year) but after several weeks of practice in a balance class for the elderly (she was in her 50's and the baby of the class), initially just a few seconds at a time, eventually she was able to balance on top of one of those balance balls (on both legs on the ball), but on one leg easily on the ground. Do it in the shower too, when you wash your feet, it really does make a difference! Please try it?
My father has just been diagnosed with dementia. He’s had walking problems for about 2 or 3 years now. We just though he had a problem with his hips, as he can no longer take a long step or stride. More of a shuffle like the older gentleman in you video, and he doesn’t have the arm swing at all anymore. He used to be a soldier (23 years service) and I remember all the marches and military parades where they would all swing their arms and March in time. It’s such a shock sometimes seeing him now, he’s 74 but seems 94. I wish I had known about this earlier. I will be watching family and friends and also observe myself and be mindful to move my arms when walking. Thank you
I saw this with my mother who suffered with dementia. She also had problems with her eyes where she couldn't see many items behind a single item such as in a refrigerator. Her brain only permitted her to see the single item.
My husband had Parkinson’s and we tried very hard to get him to move his arms and stand even a little straighter. He could do this for only a few seconds. Parkinson’s hits a person from so many angles at once it’s hard to work on even one situation.
My Mom had a "lateral" gait at least 20 YEARS before she started showing signs of dementia. Tried for all that time to get her to pay attention. Always worried about it, nice to know that my focus is a good idea.
@@laurieparis2203 That's when the arm and leg on the same side swing together. In horses, it's called a "pace" instead of a "trot". For a person, it can really mess w your ability to maintain proper balance at a walk.
Thanks so much. I remember seeing this in my father who had dementia. I remember my mother telling him to stop shuffling and to pick up his feet. This happened before any of us saw signs of dementia.
Thank you again for all the great information. I've seen and enjoyed many of your videos and enjoyed each and every one including 'Best EXERCISE for you?' Love em all. Keep up the amazing work. *62 year old male and following your direction and advice since beginning of last August I'm down from 325lbs + (my scale wouldn't read any higher = 'Error' reading) to 279.2lbs as of yesterday. Feeling much better in so many areas. Too many to list. Continuing the journey to a higher quality and more enjoyable life.
I love the "what ifs" and the brain training exercises! Workout the brain ~ GAIT PRECISION! ANY PREVENTIVE MEASURES are necessary for many! I'm motivated to motivate others because I care! Thank you for sharing and caring! You're BLESSED 🙌 and a BLESSING 🙌 always ~~~~
Had a hemorrhagic stroke 5 years ago. To create new movement patterns you have to focus to do it. I have had to work at maintaining my gait when walking for exercise. My wife will let me know about my posture as well. I'm 59.
Thank you for your work Dr.Ekberg. 🙏 It seems simple enough but when you're suffering it's embarrassing even to myself . Or course the struggle is worth the reward and the work you do is a light in the darkness .I'm going to start with simple alternating exercises
In 1953, at the age of 15, I had polio. After an extended time in isolation, mostly lying flat in bed, I had severe muscle contractions. My physical therapists first had to spend many days gradually stretching muscles after steam or hydrotherapy to achieve a full range of motion. My first muscle tests showed general weakness: full paralysis of back, abdominal, and thigh muscles, weakened left arm. Some muscles regained normal strength after a short period. When they judged I was ready and able to try to walk, the FIRST practice: crawling like a baby on a floor mat. I never heard the term, “cross crawl,” but I did a lot of it! Six months later, I came home. I could walk (without flexing my knees), and definitely swung the opposite arm with every step. Until this video, I have never heard this idea of feedback for the brain!
Thank you spive21. I have had all of the chiropractic neurology classes, but just never got the license because you have to train with another doctor for a while getting hours. Chiropractic neurology is fascinating. In chiropractic neurology, we look for more things than a typical chiropractor and most neurologists do.
Bravo for this lecture! A friend got into a college program to become a PE teacher and even get her masters. Within a semester she found out her high school never caught her dyslexia or sensory processing disorder that finally came to light in the program. She had to drop out because she could not keep up with the reading. Her life continued downhill for decades. She gets exploited very easily by authority figures. I was a Special Ed teacher. Most of my students were on one extreme or the other in motor skills. Yes, gross/large movement is fundamental.
I became aware of this years ago when my brother’s doctor noticed it in him and suspected Parkinsons. It turned out not to be but I started noticing my own gait and that I would sometimes walk with my arms crossed or that one arm swings more than the other. Going to pay more attention now for sure.
This just popped up as a recommendation, glad I watched it, how interesting, never thought about your gait, will be looking with more interest at how other people walk, now, where are my car keys?
Continually bending your neck forward over phones and laptops also causes muscle shortening in the front of the neck. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome causes referred pain, tingling and weakness in your arms. TOS also tips your upper body forward even when your not looking down, shortens your breathing and messes with your balance.
Interesting, I work as a neurosensory reflex therapist; working with children with neuro struggles. When a child has academic struggles I can they absolutely see the non- swing in their stride. A little cross lateral movement will greatly assist-
Thank you Dr.Ekberg now I try to be conscious of my gait reflex and to swing both arms while walking. We never gave it much thought until this video that it is an indicator of mental deterioration. Better late than never to start doing and so I also shared this info to my friends.
This is so true in the case of my father in law. He started having trouble walking, and his arms no longer swing! He now has dementia. I've actually noticed signs of this for years now, but the walking issue is more recent. So interesting to see this video!
I started swinging my arms just to move and balance my spinal when I walk but now that I know it is so important I am going to do it non-stop. Thanks for this valuable information.
I use gait in daily life. For me, focused detail oriented minds, vs, big picture long term thinking, is indicated in the swing or lack of on one side. Works 89% of the time.
Both sides of my family have Alzheimer’s and dimensia, oh boy. I’ve been a musician for 5+ decades. My doc told me to never stop playing because it will help negate both of these issues. I don’t plan on stopping until I take the room temperature challenge…..
Thank you. So important to move . Walk as best as you can. Sitting too much not good. Raise arms and legs. For people with some memory loss I give them a stuffed animal to raise and lower and move side to side. A body in motion stays in motion. Walk even a few steps. Move arms. Thanks for video
Thank you so much for this fascinating information. I learned something new today (as I always do from you Dr. Ekberg) and will be more observant to my loved ones and retired friends around me.
Thank you misottovoce. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad that you liked it. The purpose of my channel is to explain things better than other channels and help people understand the principles. Comments like yours makes it all worthwhile.
Dr.Ekberge You are the best!! thank you very much am i going to keep those arms moving... You help me so much in those videos and it works...you are a fresh breeze..God bless you sir..
...and there are solutions to every one of those things. We have all the research and industrial capacity to expand human lifespan and life-quality out FAR beyond 100 years, now. Anxiety is the enemy of that kind of progress.
I know. It seems that way with a lot of RUclips videos. I like Dr. Ekberg, and this is one of his best videos because we are all racing toward the end. And he wants to show us how to prepare for it in a better way.
I'm freaked out now. Especially after my mom died of Alzheimer's not too long ago. I have never been a big arm swinger though, even in my teens and 20's. And especially in my right arm. I swing a little, I just don't do very big swings. And often I have things in my hand or arm when I'm at work, and in that case I like to keep my hand close to my body.
Wow looking back at myself three years back I saw these things happening, mine was hydrocephalus I remember my gait changing and my balance was totally off. Praise God I found the answers. Brain surgery and physical therapy
How ironic that I just came across this video tonight. I've walked every night for several years (I'm 71) and tonight for some odd reason I noticed how vigorously swing my arms back and forth. Now I know it's a good thing! 👍
I had a stroke decades back, and I've lately noticed that when I walk my left arm swings; my right arm doesn't. So, this video gives me food for thought. I am balance impaired, to put it lightly ! It'd be wonderful to know I might improve this.
Stop eating animal products is the single biggest change you can make. Dementia is almost unheard of in populations that eat exclusively or almost exclusively whole food plants. They eat very very limited animal products , refined food, sugar alcohol etc. Have good family and friends and exercise.
@@zenithlifestyle4841 It is important to eat meat in order to receive enough protein. A plant only diet will not serve the body well in the long term. It is interesting to note that populations that are meat eaters do live longer.
Thank you, very good. Aside from dimentia, just loss of mechanical balance can lead to an accident resulting in days in bed, and independence-robbing muscle loss.
Wow, I love this video. Thank you so much, it’s so important to be aware of what to look out for. I am going to now pay attention to arm swing in my loved ones
68 year old woman now some what frightened but this too shall pass. Noticed right arm swinging much more during intense daily walking. Thought how strange but as I am dyspraxic I became accustomed to many peculiarities both physically and mentally long ago. The good news is I am "An exception to the rule" sort of person and have fought against this brain difference my entire life. When one of my feet couldn't take the walking and avoiding surgery I simply returned to cycling but now upright.All my life I have had contempt for old people who just give up and let age overtake them like all but one in my extended family. Now I'm the second and full steam ahead. Funny thing is I am in much better over all condition than nearly all my contemporaries because of my tenacity. They continue to wonder why I am constantly challenging the affects of aging rather than rolling with it. In a way I have my lifelong frustrating brain abnormality to thank for my drive. So far so good. Mind body and spirit.
I try to walk 7-8km every day and am still working full time (am not young) in a mentally challenging role. I have been fascinated to watch young people walking along hunched over their phone engrossed in their activity to te point where they would walk into me, unless I stepped out of their way or said something. It seems they might be well on the way to dementia coupled with poor hearing (hearing loss is a function of volume level and temporal exposure).
Lack of arm swing could be tension while walking too. ..who are you walking with … ☺️ it could also be a result of the back misalignment.☺️ you need to rule out other neurological issues that are curable…I’ve sought chiropractic care for the past 6 years which has greatly improved my quality of life but not all chiropractic doctors are created equal…I am very fortunate to have found one who has done good work in improving my quality of life…
Thank you Dr. Ekberg!!! The hard work you put into your videos is exraordinary, and so is how muchy you know and are willing to share to educate everyone else. I recently discovered your content and have been a fan ever since. I have learned so much and can´t thank you enough.

to get a mole checked out. When I got home I got my doctor to look at the mole and told him about the doctor at the pool. Turns out it was a melanoma cancer and they got it at stage 1.
@@minabrown5782 I had a lawn guy tell me to get my moles removed. Our lawn looks great now.
@@davidlarson9975 Unfortunately, the moles got to my mugwort before I could get to them. My arm swing too slow and uncoordinated. What a complicated garden we live in! I should have brought a couple of the snakes in a plane back with me to the yard. But even then they likely would have slithered past my uneven gates. Thanks to this video I will have that fixed. But that's not exactly a walk in the park & sons keep asking "are we yet there" but I think what they meant was "are we there yet". I really should not have pushed them to walk before their time. So now we all take yoga classes to relearn how to crawl all over again and since I join them they say I look like a crawl-daddy. But that's what I mentia do de whole time.
My god im glad I come across you today. I never swing my arms ever . And I do have issues with my mind
Thank you so much 💓

@@drekberg I wish you had shown a video of someone walking with a proper arm swing. How are we supposed to know how far to swing them? And lastly, isn't there any acceptable variation among individuals? Please respond, thank you.
@@Cosmo-Kramer .. take notice of arm swing in groups of people in public places/shopping malls. I am benefiting from these vids for my own health concerns. Practice, practise. 😉
@@1Daryle Why would I do that, not knowing who's doing it right and who's doing it wrong?
So glad this 3 year old video popped up this morning ! Thank you ! Reading comments made me look up standing cross crawl. I have to remember to do this and incorporate arm swings ! Thanks again !
Look at JB walking with a shuffle, holding an index card, with seven instructions for a seven minute public appearance, in one of the non swinging arms and draw your own conclusions regarding the function of that brain.
This makes perfect sense.Recovering from spinal cord injury so I know this to be true.
The doctors and farmacy industry love to help you. Even when you can help to yourself. We are the best diagnosist to ourselves. Thank you for the advices . I am 56 years old and I work on my heath by the guidelines from you and some other doctors. And I feel much better every day. I was on the downfall road, but now I feel great. Thank you.
In my 30s learning standing “cross crawl” was the ticket for me to learning to balance the left & right hemispheres of my brain. I was learning flamenco dance at the same time and went from acting like I had 2 left feet to having my feet fluidly know exactly when and where my feet were to go merely by focusing my listening to the music. Two speech therapists in the “brain gym” class shared how astounded they were in their young clients’ speech when the first dud cross crawl exercises. We are definite believers.
My daughter did brain gym I agree
The military was onto something with close order drills,long marches and those cool cadence rhymes.
Yes but it’s all erased by many over drinking alcohol
Swing your arms evenly. What can help is to lead with your shoulders first, then yours arms will follow. By leading with your shoulders, your spine will have a slight twisting movement, lubricating and nourishing your discs. Try it.🚶🏻♀️👍
thank you general. would this lubrication of the discs restore some height lost in the process of getting to my eight decade?
@@rosannazink9140, It can help to restore or prevent further height loss. You don’t have to “overdo” the twist. A slight twist is enough. Also, on your daily walks, try to put a slight lift upward from the balls of your feet with each step to achieve a small “bounce” in your step. You don’t want to walk flat footed with no bounce where you place your heal down and do not lift up slightly onto the balls of your feet. This movement is probably more difficult than just the arm swinging because you have to put a lot more energy into it and it’s more fatiguing when you are new with it. Your calf muscles will get exercised for sure. It’s difficult to do this because we can get lazy and forget to add this part of your walk. I’ve forgotten this part many times because if your back hurts, you will naturally want to avoid this and gradually leave it out. If your back hurts, just do a slighter rise up on the balls of your feet, but at least try to engage your calf muscles.👍
Wow thank you for your explanation.
Good info General. My walking is interspersed with little jogs. That certainly gets the shoulders and arms moving.
Leading with the shoulder, will that increase risk of fractures in spine, for those with osteoporosis? I'm afraid to twist my spine too much!
I've always understood that by swinging your arms while walking it improved your blood circulation.!
Now that I understand the other factors related to arm swing I will certainly be more conscious of my own while walking!
Very revealing, I live in an large Retirement Community so I'll be looking around for this. Thank you for this info.
It's fascinating to learn that something as simple as arm swinging while walking can predict dementia risk! This highlights the importance of movement and physical activity in maintaining brain health. I'm eager to discover more about how this correlation works and what it means for early detection and prevention strategies. Thank you for sharing this intriguing information!
When COVID forced many of us to become homebodies, I spent most of my days inside my house.
Six months of a sedentary non mobile (no walks around the neighborhood) I began having trouble walking. Stumbled a lot and had forgotten how to maintain my gait.
Watching others walk, I realized I was not swinging my arms. At first, I had to force myself to swing my arms as I walked. Soon I was naturally swinging my arms as I walked.
This simple change has allowed me to regain my natural gait and balance. I now walk daily and after a couple of months, I no longer struggle or stumble as I walk.
I love my daily walks and look forward to getting out of the house every day.
Yes,we all walk daily together in our household,look forward to it.
So basically, walking like a zombie means you're brain is beginning to rot, so don't walk like a zombie
Yup, try not to walk like a zombie. 🧟♂️ 👀👎🏻
🎶 Walk like an Egyptian... 🎶
@@arrington77 You got here ahead of me!
@@arrington77 And do a moderate Charleston, a bouncy, arm swingy dance.
Sounds like someone we all know in DC
After stroke , other brain parts relearn to communicate , and can bring back a lot of lost movements. Good point to remind ourselves about it. Use it or lose it.
Thanks for this important information. I will be aware of this issue in myself. Parkinson and Alzheimers run in my family. Happy Holidays 😊
Valuable information thank you so much. I have dyslexia but so far I've been moving my arms like I'm supposed to but now I have an awareness.
Excellent. Keep paying attention to the symmetry and the amplitude of your arm swing.
My Mom was always afraid of developing dementia. Since watching this I realize now that maybe she could have worried less if she had known this because she walked every day and swung her arms. She was sharp as a tack until she passed of pancreatic cancer.
In the early ‘60s I was a child with reading problems, now known as dyslexia. My folks did everything they could to teach me to read. I was like a lab animal going from specialist to specialist. Many were not just doctors specializing in this or that, but researchers, researching this and that. They researched my eyes, my balance, my blood chemistry, my hearing, and certainly my sanity. They never found a cure. I eventually taught myself how to read at 24.
I remember if Physician mad me do crawling exercises that emphasized looking at my forward hand and crawling with good and exaggerated form. They were humiliating. Had I done them better, longer, or more often perhaps they would have helped or perhaps they did help but slowly.
You explanation is so simple
Easy to understand
TQ
This is amazing information. My father in law started walking like he was holding suitcases . He stood very awkwardly, leaning to one side and would sometimes lose his balance. He was diagnosed with parkinson's about 7 years ago and unfortunately he passed away in Monday.
Sorry for your loss

I'm happy to see you,( doctof)explaining dementia. This needs to happen on more posts.
~Just went over this topic with my husband about a niece of mine who is now in College! We weren't sure if she was going to make the leap smoothly.. ( she has had some large social development issues to overcome). She is flourishing independently though, and one of the tings we were always aware of was with her; was her lack of arm swim when walking. She was never dyslexic but she was exposed to an MAOi in the womb due to my sisters doctor NOT taking her off the drug soon enough during her first trimester! I do believe our attention and awareness about what this means has heavily influenced how well we were able to pull her through! FANTASTIC VIDEO! THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING ON IT!
Great information. Never stop moving. Avoid chairs.
Wow that's pretty amazing and offers some insight into why walking regularly can help prevent dementia.
I almost got kicked out of basic training because my arm and leg on the same side moved together while marching. It stood out out like like a sore thumb in formations and made the instructor's head explode. They made me guard the canteens during the graduation parade. Wish I had this info then.
I am so glad I found this information. I am 52 but I’ve noticed that I am becoming uncoordinated and losing my balance a lot. I was diagnosed with vertigo. I will pay more attention to the arm swing It might help with the unsteadiness.
Unsteadiness can also be helped by practicing just standing on one leg. You can do it at home, or even in a queue in a supermarket. My sister lost all hearing in one ear due to a virus, leaving her balance all over the place, (for a year) but after several weeks of practice in a balance class for the elderly (she was in her 50's and the baby of the class), initially just a few seconds at a time, eventually she was able to balance on top of one of those balance balls (on both legs on the ball), but on one leg easily on the ground. Do it in the shower too, when you wash your feet, it really does make a difference! Please try it?
@@jesshothersall thanks, how do you know and any reference. Just curious. Thanks
Great info Dr Ekberg! I wish I would have this known 20 years ago with my Mom! Your holistic approach is really mindblowing. Thanks for your lectures.
My father has just been diagnosed with dementia. He’s had walking problems for about 2 or 3 years now. We just though he had a problem with his hips, as he can no longer take a long step or stride. More of a shuffle like the older gentleman in you video, and he doesn’t have the arm swing at all anymore.
He used to be a soldier (23 years service) and I remember all the marches and military parades where they would all swing their arms and March in time. It’s such a shock sometimes seeing him now, he’s 74 but seems 94. I wish I had known about this earlier. I will be watching family and friends and also observe myself and be mindful to move my arms when walking. Thank you
So sorry to read this about your father
I saw this with my mother who suffered with dementia.
She also had problems with her eyes where she couldn't see many items behind a single item such as in a refrigerator. Her brain only permitted her to see the single item.
My husband had Parkinson’s and we tried very hard to get him to move his arms and stand even a little straighter. He could do this for only a few seconds. Parkinson’s hits a person from so many angles at once it’s hard to work on even one situation.
Cannabis is pretty incredible when it comes to parkinsons
My Mom had a "lateral" gait at least 20 YEARS before she started showing signs of dementia. Tried for all that time to get her to pay attention. Always worried about it, nice to know that my focus is a good idea.
What is a lateral gait?
@@laurieparis2203 That's when the arm and leg on the same side swing together. In horses, it's called a "pace" instead of a "trot". For a person, it can really mess w your ability to maintain proper balance at a walk.
Thanks so much. I remember seeing this in my father who had dementia. I remember my mother telling him to stop shuffling and to pick up his feet. This happened before any of us saw signs of dementia.
Thank you again for all the great information. I've seen and enjoyed many of your videos and enjoyed each and every one including 'Best EXERCISE for you?' Love em all. Keep up the amazing work. *62 year old male and following your direction and advice since beginning of last August I'm down from 325lbs + (my scale wouldn't read any higher = 'Error' reading) to 279.2lbs as of yesterday.

After your 4 year old , me at 73 have only just discovered this video 2023. I find marching so invigorating!!!
Had a hemorrhagic stroke 5 years ago. To create new movement patterns you have to focus to do it. I have had to work at maintaining my gait when walking for exercise. My wife will let me know about my posture as well. I'm 59.
Amazing need to know information. Many thanks
Thank you for your work Dr.Ekberg. 🙏 It seems simple enough but when you're suffering it's embarrassing even to myself . Or course the struggle is worth the reward and the work you do is a light in the darkness .I'm going to start with simple alternating exercises
In 1953, at the age of 15, I had polio. After an extended time in isolation, mostly lying flat in bed, I had severe muscle contractions.
My physical therapists first had to spend many days gradually stretching muscles after steam or hydrotherapy to achieve a full range of motion.
My first muscle tests showed general weakness: full paralysis of back, abdominal, and thigh muscles, weakened left arm. Some muscles regained normal strength after a short period.
When they judged I was ready and able to try to walk, the FIRST practice: crawling like a baby on a floor mat. I never heard the term, “cross crawl,” but I did a lot of it!
Six months later, I came home. I could walk (without flexing my knees), and definitely swung the opposite arm with every step.
Until this video, I have never heard this idea of feedback for the brain!
wow, never heard of this before. great info as always dr. sten
Thank you spive21. I have had all of the chiropractic neurology classes, but just never got the license because you have to train with another doctor for a while getting hours. Chiropractic neurology is fascinating. In chiropractic neurology, we look for more things than a typical chiropractor and most neurologists do.
Absolutely 100 agree with the the crawling being an indicator of speech delays and other developmental problems
Bravo for this lecture!
A friend got into a college program to become a PE teacher and even get her masters. Within a semester she found out her high school never caught her dyslexia or sensory processing disorder that finally came to light in the program. She had to drop out because she could not keep up with the reading. Her life continued downhill for decades. She gets exploited very easily by authority figures.
I was a Special Ed teacher. Most of my students were on one extreme or the other in motor skills. Yes, gross/large movement is fundamental.
I became aware of this years ago when my brother’s doctor noticed it in him and suspected Parkinsons. It turned out not to be but I started noticing my own gait and that I would sometimes walk with my arms crossed or that one arm swings more than the other. Going to pay more attention now for sure.
This just popped up as a recommendation, glad I watched it, how interesting, never thought about your gait, will be looking with more interest at how other people walk, now, where are my car keys?
Continually bending your neck forward over phones and laptops also causes muscle shortening in the front of the neck. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome causes referred pain, tingling and weakness in your arms. TOS also tips your upper body forward even when your not looking down, shortens your breathing and messes with your balance.
Interesting, I work as a neurosensory reflex therapist; working with children with neuro struggles. When a child has academic struggles I can they absolutely see the non- swing in their stride.
A little cross lateral movement will greatly assist-
Thanks for educating and being positive
Never ending purveyor of knowledge. Bravo.
Your work is appreciated. Thank you.
Thank you Dr.Ekberg now I try to be conscious of my gait reflex and to swing both arms while walking. We never gave it much thought until this video that it is an indicator of mental deterioration. Better late than never to start doing and so I also shared this info to my friends.
This is so true in the case of my father in law. He started having trouble walking, and his arms no longer swing! He now has dementia. I've actually noticed signs of this for years now, but the walking issue is more recent. So interesting to see this video!
I started swinging my arms just to move and balance my spinal when I walk but now that I know it is so important I am going to do it non-stop. Thanks for this valuable information.
Who else walked across the room to self examine? Interesting stuff.
Never heard of this before never paid attention. I am going to have to take notice. Great video
I use gait in daily life. For me, focused detail oriented minds, vs, big picture long term thinking, is indicated in the swing or lack of on one side. Works 89% of the time.
Both sides of my family have Alzheimer’s and dimensia, oh boy. I’ve been a musician for 5+ decades. My doc told me to never stop playing because it will help negate both of these issues.
I don’t plan on stopping until I take the room temperature challenge…..
Mind blowing information. Thank you!

So important to move .
Walk as best as you can.
Sitting too much not good. Raise arms and legs.
For people with some memory loss I give them a stuffed animal to raise and lower and move side to side. A body in motion stays in motion. Walk even a few steps. Move arms.

I'm freaked out now. Especially after my mom died of Alzheimer's not too long ago. I have never been a big arm swinger though, even in my teens and 20's. And especially in my right arm. I swing a little, I just don't do very big swings. And often I have things in my hand or arm when I'm at work, and in that case I like to keep my hand close to my body.
😂😂😂
Wow looking back at myself three years back I saw these things happening, mine was hydrocephalus I remember my gait changing and my balance was totally off. Praise God I found the answers. Brain surgery and physical therapy
Put your phone down while your walking, apart from anything else it’s dangerous, and join the army (joke). This makes absolute sense to me. Thank you.
Love your video on neurodegerative disorder. Pl keep educating us. Thanks
I’m scared. I’ve noticed myself swinging one arm. Thank you, Dr Ekberg
Dont be scared... be glad Dr Elberg has made us aware and given us a fix.
Blessings!
How ironic that I just came across this video tonight. I've walked every night for several years (I'm 71) and tonight for some odd reason I noticed how vigorously swing my arms back and forth. Now I know it's a good thing! 👍
I had a stroke decades back, and I've lately noticed that when I walk my left arm swings; my right arm doesn't. So, this video gives me food for thought. I am balance impaired, to put it lightly ! It'd be wonderful to know I might improve this.
My guess is that you should make a conscious effort to swing your right arm as well as your left in order to activate the feedback loop.
Stop eating animal products is the single biggest change you can make. Dementia is almost unheard of in populations that eat exclusively or almost exclusively whole food plants. They eat very very limited animal products , refined food, sugar alcohol etc. Have good family and friends and exercise.
@@zenithlifestyle4841 It is important to eat meat in order to receive enough protein. A plant only diet will not serve the body well in the long term. It is interesting to note that populations that are meat eaters do live longer.
Thank you Dr. Ekberg . Your video's are life saving.
Thank you, very good. Aside from dimentia, just loss of mechanical balance can lead to an accident resulting in days in bed, and independence-robbing muscle loss.
Wow, I love this video. Thank you so much, it’s so important to be aware of what to look out for. I am going to now pay attention to arm swing in my loved ones
68 year old woman now some what frightened but this too shall pass. Noticed right arm swinging much more during intense daily walking. Thought how strange but as I am dyspraxic I became accustomed to many peculiarities both physically and mentally long ago. The good news is I am "An exception to the rule" sort of person and have fought against this brain difference my entire life. When one of my feet couldn't take the walking and avoiding surgery I simply returned to cycling but now upright.All my life I have had contempt for old people who just give up and let age overtake them like all but one in my extended family. Now I'm the second and full steam ahead. Funny thing is I am in much better over all condition than nearly all my contemporaries because of my tenacity. They continue to wonder why I am constantly challenging the affects of aging rather than rolling with it. In a way I have my lifelong frustrating brain abnormality to thank for my drive. So far so good. Mind body and spirit.
You are absolutely right without health we have nothing.
I try to walk 7-8km every day and am still working full time (am not young) in a mentally challenging role. I have been fascinated to watch young people walking along hunched over their phone engrossed in their activity to te point where they would walk into me, unless I stepped out of their way or said something. It seems they might be well on the way to dementia coupled with poor hearing (hearing loss is a function of volume level and temporal exposure).
Lack of arm swing could be tension while walking too. ..who are you walking with … ☺️ it could also be a result of the back misalignment.☺️ you need to rule out other neurological issues that are curable…I’ve sought chiropractic care for the past 6 years which has greatly improved my quality of life but not all chiropractic doctors are created equal…I am very fortunate to have found one who has done good work in improving my quality of life…
