Great video I don’t see a link to that rigid hand splint you show it’s the black one made of plastic you say is hard to get on. This is the splint I have been wanting do you have a link to it please
Hand splint is good and necessary, it has to be the right kind and right size, wear it right, wear it daily, on a right schedule, check it on a regular basic, along with regular ROM exercises...not a 100% cure, but it helps a great deal for some people...
It would have been great to have known all this right after my stroke. Got useless splints, even splints that worsen spasticity (the famous arm sling). Will try finger extender to decrease spasticity in my fingers. Hope to see a next video on #therapytools. Thank you for all this useful information.
i suffered from drop foot and turn in when walked, they wanted to fit me with a splint for my foot, I opted to relearn foot positioning in martisl arts, Along with Gate walking, i used the martial art foot wook to retrain my foot per say and walking,, I do suffer from drop foot , i use angle wieghts to help strengthing my foot when walking, I still have bad days,, but remember push forward..What might help with finger,, try lesrning different hand strike of martial arts and practice them..Another thing try jacks,, .YOu bounce a ball and scoop up the jaxs before and recatch the ball,, try doing push ups on your fingers,, also try squeezing tennis ball also to build up muscle and memorey,,.
Intrigued, i had a brachial plexus injury in April and have wrist drop, unable to extend the fingers either. Can't hold my arm out or mine it from the shoulder to hand.
I have a night splint just wish I could use it during the day. lrt me explain if I put it on while watching tv I cant walk in it if I need to use the restroom.
Hello, I wear whatthey call compress glove on my left hand affect with spaticity and since I wear I do see amelioration since i wear it I wear it 24/7.
Thanks for the expertise, it will save a lot of money. For some more exercises I use an elbow immobilizer that I made myself from a heat-insulating tube, a very light, foamy material. Bought at the store materials for central heating, very cheap $ 2 for 2 m in length, cut to length, pull on hand and put a few thicker rubber bands for winter bottles or adhesive tape. Have a nice week.
happy holidays dr tobias a while back i sent a massage thru one of the video i hope u can shed some light on asap please a year ago i had a stroke left side parelized thank god every thing came back as before plus stiffness on leg and arm after standing for a bit taking gabapenten and baklofin are not helping alot can u advice pls thanku hope u and loved once never see any sickness.
I’d also be curious about thoughts you might have on the MusicGlove from Flint Rehab. I used it regularly a couple of years ago. I started with 1 “grip” (thumb/forefinger) then added a second, then third before the pandemic AND move AND virtual school for the kids (my excuses). 😅 I was making some good progress, but I will say it’s the toughest therapy I’ve ever done. It’s marketed as fun, but it’s the only therapy that has brought tears to my eyes (I originally lost all right side & speech). It does require a lot of commitment-I’d guess 30-60 minutes/day.
@@revdocrandy Thanks for sharing your experiences with the MusicGlove. I am waiting for mine to be shipped. I live in Singapore so it will take two weeks. I have flexion but little extension in my right hand (dominant hand☹️). I hope to do as well as you did. Wishing you perseverance and even more success in your recovery.
Hi! I’ve been waiting for this video 😊 for the resting hand splint: if we flatten it completely out so that the hand would be flat, is that more therapeutic for stretching the muscles in the fingers out?
No. I would advise going to an Occupational Therapist (OT) who knows how to splint for neurology, to assess what your problems & needs are. If you keep all your hand joints straight (extended) for extended periods, the collateral ligaments on either side of each knuckle (MCP joint) are kept in their shortest length & can eventually become shortened. This causes difficulty bending (flexing) the knuckles (MCP) joints which is an essential movement for hand function. Also your other finger joints can get stiff if not allowed to bend regularly. Your OT will assess you & may provide you with 1 or more splints depending on what exactly your starting point is & what your needs & goals are. If the problem is shortening of the extrinsic flexor muscles of the hand then you have to lengthen them again very gradually by serial progressive splinting with the fingers straight AND wrist extended (as when in prayer position 🙏) slightly more each time, 1-2 times a week. You can do yourself great harm unintentionally by using the wrong splints & wrong splint regimes. All the best in your recovery journey😊
4:30 in they gave me one in hospital expecting me to wear it eight hours a day but it hurt my thumb/wrist so bad within a week even after they adjusted it twice, I gave it back to them and flat out said sorry not happening the metal bar was so unforgiving keeping it in a claw position made no sense as I could now naturally maintain a claw but not straighten them out. my ping pong paddle looking splint arrives tomorrow based on your recommendations
Why did you not recommend a knee brace that prevents hyperextension, such as this d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9ocXBfc2hhcmVk ? Hyperextending the knee is a bad habit that my PT people insisted that I do in order to help them prevent me from a potential fall (I am hemiplegic from a stroke 9 months ago). In retrospect, this is a bad habit to teach and develop, and now it must be unlearned.
got my totally flat splint today in the mail. any tips for somebody that no matter how hard we tried could not get my hand flat enough to put velcro straps on properly yet. we sort of made it work but hand is still arced in it. doing daily stretches for shoulder/elbow/wrist/fingers now just not quite far enough in it having started yesterday. we took the straps off and went one finger at a time
Help.. My mom was doing pretty well in her recovery when she fell into a cabinet and whacked her affected arm pretty good. It was very bruised and painful but after two weeks the bruises are gone but its still somewhat painful. We tried doing some of the same passive movements and exercises we did before and it was much weaker than before. I am hopeful that after more time the pain will subside further and she can get back to where she was. Any insights or encouragement you might be able to share would be greatly appreciated 🙏💚
What these orthopedic places should take into I had one recently made that I’m not sure I’ll be able to put on one handed. They g do isn’t go right the sweedish knee charge but opted for a mor expensive custom piece

Hi John! Thanks for watching! I have lots of videos on this channel that address this issue :)

Hope you had a nice Christmas day 😊
Hi Carol! I did. I hope you did as well!!
In the video you said there would be a link to the ridged plastic brace you designed. It's not there. I've clicked on all the links provided.
Hi James! We are having technical difficulties with the link. Please email questions@rehab-hq.com and we will send you all the information.
Hi where can I get information on the brave you have.
I have a night splint just wish I could use it during the day. lrt me explain if I put it on while watching tv I cant walk in it if I need to use the restroom.
Hello, I wear whatthey call compress glove on my left hand affect with spaticity and since I wear I do see amelioration since i wear it I wear it 24/7.
yes! I am a huge fan of a compression glove. 😊 Thanks for reminding me of this valuable tool!
Do you have any tips to prevent muscle spasms?
Are you going to share a link to the rigid hand splint in your video?
I would love to get your splint for hand Tell me how to purchase and how much please.
For the shoulder, I suggest taping and givmorh sling. It keeps arm in natural position. Never use cheap 20 dollar slings that keep arm flexed.
Thanks for the expertise, it will save a lot of money. For some more exercises I use an elbow immobilizer that I made myself from a heat-insulating tube, a very light, foamy material. Bought at the store materials for central heating, very cheap $ 2 for 2 m in length, cut to length, pull on hand and put a few thicker rubber bands for winter bottles or adhesive tape. Have a nice week.
Hi I am not getting any response from your clinic; I need your consultation as soon as possible please help me…!
Wher is the link for the splint you created I am not seeing it and would like to purchase one?

Any advice involving dry Needle therapy, I believe in it
Hi David! No. I do not offer this service and i have not looked into whether or not this is beneficial in managing spasticity

Hey , do you know anyone on Oahu who you could recommend for drop foot ?

depends on the splint. There are different techniques, depending on the splint.

#therapytools please esp for the hand, wrist and elbow thank you
Thank you.. very informative #therapytool
Interesting stuff…thanks! #therapytools
Also if you actually involved an orthotist most of these would be covered by health insurance to which the patient would not have to pay for it OOP.
#therapytools please!
Is the saeboglove good
Saebo glove did nothing for me way over proced

And all the Orthotic and Prosthetic professionals face palm... seriously
These are off the shelf and therefor don't involve an orthotist so... and all the orthotist.... 🙋🏻♀️
@@rehabhqofficial Exactly and based on your discriptions of such it is obvious that you may want to consult one...
