These exercises never get old- I usually come back to them to double check my gait an iron out any kinks in my walking pattern. Its always good to come back to basics. This is timeless content!
Thank you very much for the exercises. Your clear, concise, and informative video is made even better because of the quality of your voice. Sincerely, Ann Korach
I love it when you say that remember you are building a connection with your brain and teaching him to make a new nerve.
Your teaching is awesome.
I am just fedup with this foot drop. Now i orderd from amazon for stablizing this foot drop.
But i will follow ur footsteps.
Plz mention the time how long we should do this exercise daily and how many times.
How is your foot drop now ?? Any changes in movement
The exercises here are simply fantastic!! I was in a wheelchair for a few months, all up 7 months of HELL. The pain from a herniated lumbar disc/sciatica was HORRID. I wanted to avoid surgery. 8 months down the track and having had daggers speared at my patience and sanity I am finally pain free and now need to learn to walk again. You make sense, easy to understand and the exercises work! Many thanks for your time and energy. From Sarah, an Aussie in Tokyo.
I always find your videos very helpful. I appreciate you so much. I do have a Walk Aid. I believe it has helped me immensely. This video came when I really needed it. You touch a lot of lives and make a difference for us when some of us feel like we are alone in this. Take care and thank you. 🤗
Thank you ! I’m doing research to help speed up my recovery process as I work with my own PT and surgeon who has diagnosed me with foot drop due to a herniation mainly at L5. I also was fitted for an AFO which is a godsend for working as a CNA. I am a distance runner , enjoy downhill skiing wtc etc etc and am normally highly active every day. This has benched me for all those activities , I’m hopeful to get back to my normal life with consistent perseverance and determination ! These videos are very helpful . Tysm !
I did a LOT OF RESEARCH STUDIES! Got more PT, while helping me and others with similar problems.
Thank you I have just got foot drop never had a problem before I will practice what you said your a great teacher to very clear !
I always find your videos very helpful.i m very happy
I just turned 34. I'm recovering from Drop Foot. Basically I herniated a disk so bad that it caused some pretty severe Spinal Stenosis. The pain was so bad. But the emotional agony of dragging my foot and just loosing all ability to lift it was far worse. I started to loose hope but just kept fighting through the pain and did everything I could to not let my foot go completely limp. I remeber tying a sock around my shin, then one around my toes, then putting a belt through both loops and tightening as much as I could. That's how I was able to walk the first week. I would have to mentally battle myself for each step with mybright foot. Trying as hard as I could to make sure my heel at least slightly touched first. I also bought an ankle brace. I would thread the first eyelets of my shoes first; pull my foot up, then secure the laces with the ankle brace velcro. Then run the laces through the top eyelets of the shoe and tie. That REALLY helped. I started tonsee products online but never bothered to order because they would take about 2 weeks to arrive and had already been told I was getting emergency surgery in less than a week. I went to walgreens and found a brace for Planters Fasciitis and that helped me sleep and get through the week without having to do the uncomfortable belt sock thing. It's been 2 weeks and 2 days since my surgery. I stretch and do a lot of these excercises often. I've gotten about 60% of my foot strength back. I walk barefoot no problem but the weight of sneakers still makes my foot tired and after about half an hour my foot will start to flop. I'm optomistic though. Very happy with my progress so far. I know my foot will be 100% soon. Thank you for making these types of videos. They really gave me hope in my darkest hours.
Thanks for sharing this David. It sounds like you are a very determined person;that’s awesome! I don’t have the same situation; as I am paralyzed completely on my entire left side; I can barely move my leg, and cannot move my left arm at all. However, I am able to walk,with a hemi-walker;and always looking for things I can do to improve or possibly get functionality on my left side.Your determination comes through in your words;and is much appreciated! Godspeed and God bless you sir, keep pushing and thanks.Cheers!
What did the surgeon give you as chances of restoring all the nerve pathways? Just curious, I have drop foot that mat have been caused by 1 of the 10 knee surgeries I had. EMG will tell the story. Trying to do PT on muscles that aren’t wired in is difficult impossible). If EMG comes back that the nerve has been cut I guess I’m f__ked. I’m 75, I can find work arounds for just about everything.
Tara, thank God for you and the knowledge you share! You are a gem.
Thank you for your kind words. I hope the information is helping you to achieve your goals!
Amazing!!! Thank you Tara ❤❤❤❤
Hallo,Dr. Tobias! I began watching your videos too weeks ago. My son had stroke before 12. For some time I tried to find good exercises, because our therapy don't work a lot according to me. So, I want to say THANK YOU for what you do! Your videos are the most helpful and comprehensible that I ever watched.
Thank for watching and for sharing your story about your son and how these videos are helping you. I am so happy to read this. This is why I do it :)
How is your son foot drop now..any improvement ??
@@fairlyrainbows7902 I think he doesn't have much improvement, but he go to school and had to do exercises for wrist, fingers and supination. He has no spare time for himself and he is doing that hole his life. He is pissed off all that and sometimes refuses to do anything. He is teen and I want to low down the pressure on him. Nevertheless he is keeping doing some of the exercises 3 or 4 time in week and I still believe there will be a chance with persistence. I have great hope in lessons of Dr. Tobias.
Thank you for the definition of terms! I have #spasticity (not foot drop) related to MS.
It is really very very helpful video to correct my FOOT DROP.
Thank you!
I have #footdrop in my left foot due to 4 herniated lumbar discs and it is causing serious knee, and sleeping problem and I can’t afford surgery to fix my back or physical therapy to fix my foot drop.
This is hands down the BEST video I have found about it and exercises I can do to help recover from it.
you gave me right path after long 6 years of struggle..
Very clearly explained , very educative , thus very encouraging . Thanks.
Thank you Dr. Tara Tobias , for everything. . Your explanations are incredibly helpful .
Thank you Doc.very informative and useful. I had this foot drop also knee stiffness. I had surgery of tibial plateau fixation. My leg stayed in a cast for almost 7 weeks . The ortho doc.told me to go for a rehab. I have 2X a week. If I'm home I continue walking tip toe, icing, but my sensation for my leg is worsen.
I keep on focus although tough for me that I can walk to normal again. I learned now some of your technique to apply to myself which is a big help
Thank you reall doc.😇
Thank you for your helpful and informative videos
Thank you for these videos. I wish I could have found them sooner. My husband has footdrop in both legs and has issues with just standing. We have been looking for anything that helps. Our doctor has been anything but helpful. Thank you again
Try the Turbo Med brace
Thanx alot for sharing the videos. It is valuable for us.
Thank you Dr Tara,the video is engligtening
love your video.Thanks so much. I have drop foot and have tried many braces. I think I will try all your excerises. Please keep up the good work.
My husband suffered a stroke feb.22, 2018, he lost complete use of his left side and only 3 and s half months of therapy 1hour sessions 3 times a week.
We were taught the basics and I (his wife) working with him have bought him a long way from where he was.
I think his biggest thing holding him back is his fear of falling, what can we do together to help him get past this fear?
Your videos are really great and I am so glad I found you in you tube, thank you for caring about stroke recovering folks out here!
Can't wait for a response to my question...
Hi Gerrit! Thank you for watching and for sharing your husbands story. He is so blessed to have you and your commitment to his recovery. In case you have not been told this lately. YOU are doing an amazing job. I am sure he is grateful for you. Fear of falling is sometimes a good thing as most people who have suffered a stroke usually fall because they are NOT afraid of falling. Now that being said, there is a tipping point where it can become counter productive. Generally speaking, the more someone stands on their feet (after a stroke) the more confident he will become with standing. Keep working on the balance exercises I have on this channel. I can't wait to get updates on how her is progressing!
So helpful, thanks. I have had foot drop for a year+ but still hoping and working. Would like to see more of your videos.
This is so helpful... can't wait for your new content in 2020. Happy New years. I've use bioness for leg and my arm. Very cool btw.
I have suffered with a herniated disc for a year . After 3 months I started with dropfoot of sort. My "lift off" is not working . I have done physio , stretches daily for months. I just had surgery for nerve decompression (laminectomy and discectomy. One week ago. Now my focus is to get my foot working again so I can walk properly! Gain my strength, play with my first grandchild expected in July and get back into shape. I am 68 but before this I could walk for miles and excercise. I am going to start this program today and if you have other recommendations, please let me know! Sincerely, Kate
Thank you for the video it's very helpful
Thank you nice very helpful for me.
Love this lady❤🙏
You give such clear explanation. My question is dystonia the same as spasticity?

Thank you. Had acute piriformis syndrome. Couldnt walk for a month. When i could finally stand, i couldnt walk correctly. This is so helpful.
I am on my second BIONESS. The second one is without the foot sensor, making it much better! I am continuing with rehab 7 years after stroke, getting insurance approval for 2-3 weeks outpatient PT. I also, bike on my semi-recumbrent bike; go to an indoor arena to walk; and take the MANY STEPS IN MY HOUSE, alternating feet (foot over foot). My foot and ankle is STILL the problem. Will keep on keeping on. (I suffer from tone/spasticity. Botox worked; suddenly developed an allergic reaction to it!)
I'm currently looking into Bioness. What do you mean without the
foot sensor.? What is that one called? I'm checking out the L300.
Like it I like your videos so helpful I need to activate my left arm I've had a stroke that almost killed me leaving me paralyze on my entire leftplease help me you're very knowledgeable tink for all you do you're so dedicated
Great video👍... So about the FES and EMS. What's the appropriate settings to use. For instance,the mode, the pulse width, pulse rate etc. Thank you
Thank you, very helpful and effective No more foot drop. Blessings ❤️
Anastasia Demerrite, Are you saying you no longer have foot drop ? That the exercises corrected it?? You have no idea how hopeful that makes me feel!
I am one that never gives up..

Thanks. So helpful!
I got my foot drop from having 6 his replacements. I hope these excises work for me. Thank you.
Foot drop videos are wonderful and helpful.
Thank you so much. So well explained. Really fabulous.
From Bangladesh. very informative for me.
Im praying dr.Tobias that you make a video on how to use TENS or EMS on foot drop and the best brand that we may use.
It's easy look at the video about 7 mins in you will see the patches on the guys leg on is directly over the bifurcation of the common peroneal the second one is over the tibialis muscles. Do not place the patches over bones it gets painful full after. While. If you foot dorsi flexes or inverts you hit the right spots.
this type of video is very helpful for me thank you dr
Thank you I wished I found you sooner the exercises is a great addition. Part one was very helpful I do them before I get out of bed in the morning. Another great product is the saebo step you can wear it with dress shoes.
I look forward to seeing more videos from you.

I still put alot weight on cane when walking, is there exercises that I can do help with this I also have subinated foot and plantar fascilitis I really appreciate all your videos I am now able to ben my knee while walking thanks to you as you keep me motivated

I have this problem since 2020 but with physiotherapy, I have recovered to a large extent. I am already using FES (foot drop system) . If any other exercise, please suggest.
Thank you for these helpful videos. I think after listening to them, I have identified that I have mild spasticity after a stroke two and a half years ago. I walk regularly but still my affected leg drags on the ground occasionally, especially as I get tired and my balance is poor. I was interested in purchasing the foot strap you mentioned but this is no longer available on Amazon. I looked for alternatives but none were available. Are they no longer approved of? Can you suggest any available alternative ? Thank you
I’m 37 and fell at 32-had an undetected brain aneurysm and then a stroke. I was told to give up but I’m willful and faithful so I did not. I have worked out daily since I left the hospital but two things that bother me is my left clinched hand - I wear a brace and it stays relaxed whilst the brace is on and for a short period. But the limp returned.
Hi! Thank u for video.)
Could I ask u. After ecsostosis sergery can we use electo stimulation? Does it won't hurt??)
Very helpful
#footdrop, Thank you. I will try this exercises. I have the mild spasticity.
Dr. Tobias what's the correlation between your tricep and your ankle and can your brian re-wire backwards my reason for asking this question is when I flex my tricep my ankle moves is that due to spasticity or just the brain rewiring backwards thank you once again for your time may the Lord continue to work through you
Great question! In most cases, when I see this, it is spasticity. When I speak about "abnormal movement patterns" this would be one of those abnormal movement patterns. :)
Thank u! I have a client who went to many centers and doctors everyone is telling her she is fine.. i started researching, she did have an ankle sprain and what you have explained about spactisity does apply to her more after we do heel lifts and stretches her toes do relax.. one more thing when she moves her foot her hand starts moving with it. I am trying to read more as there is no other way to help where we live. Please advise 🙏
I had back surgery for Cauda equina syndrome (CES) and have been in a wheelchair for four years. I can move my legs but I have a foot drop on the left foot. I also have both knees that are locked in a bent position. Would you suggest working on the drop foot first or the hamstrings to free the knees? Really like your videos. Please advice. Thank You
#foot drop after L5-S1 herniated disc and fusion. 19 months ago. Stinging and tingling knee down to big toe which is still mostly numb. 73 yo walking almost daily. Did 9 months of therapy. Cut me off. Best exercises to further recovery???
thanks
Hi Dr Tobias! My ankle will flex when i lift my hip and knee. Is the stepping up on a step and striking the heel, still worth doing with this abnormal synergy pattern?
Thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching. I hope it helps!
#foot drop. Thanks for good exercises & motivation
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Hello, I have had a foot drop for 2 years due to lesion of the sciatic nerve in L5 S1 due to medical malpractice, application of epidural anesthesia, I have immobility of several gluteal muscles, adductor muscle and below the knee the twins do not work, due to this I suffer from severe foot drop, and severe neuropathic pain.
Thanks for the exercises, I'll be watching the channel. I hope u can undestand my poor english..
I understand every word. :) Thank you for sharing your story. I hope the videos are helping :)
Thank you so much for this video. I have a terrible foot drop. Every time I take a step the tip of my foot is hitting the ground. In addition,my foot is just floppy and I swing it and drag it.
any advance exercises for foot drop ty
Good day dra. Im 50yrs old and a stroke survivor. Wat will be the exercise because everytime I lift my legs my toes will curl when it touches the ground.
Thank you I’ll be doing these very soon!
I use a NMES device by Odstock Medical Ltd it is called ODFS Pace not as advanced as the ones you’re talking about as it is wired but it helps me a lot and is a lot cheaper. Here it is available on the NHS.
Absolutely. NMES units work GREAT!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do have one question: The physical therapists that I've worked with said AFO is necessary. I was told after I first had a stroke that I had spasticity, not foot drop. I have supination on my affected foot and the AFO exacerbates this and I have fallen. Any suggestions? Thank you again!
#FOOT DROP ANNE DONAHUE
When you got knee hypertension how can I do the wall exercises. Thanks
How many times per day should you do these exercises
Thank you so much Dr, your videos has been so helpful to me, I'm really developing very fast since I coupled your instructions with my stimulator. I have a question, what could be the cause? I usually feel internal burn on my unaffected thigh, and 2nd, whenever I bend down, it will seem as if current is wired through my affected hand down to my body and instantly, I will feel tired.
Thank you for watching! It is hard to say. Every stroke is different and everyone experiences different sensations. However, these are very unusual symptoms and you should be evaluated by a doctor.
is there a device for getting up in the middle of the night to go to the washroom without having to put my afo on then take it to back to bed I have seen a podiatrist who making me customized insoles can't wait to try them out better than the tylenol I was prescribed I am sure
