I had left side neglect when I had my stroke. When I was in the inpatient rehab anytime I had a visitor I made them sit on my left side. It forced me to turn my head and focus in that direction. I don’t know if that would help anybody else but it definitely helped me. Another great video as always
@heatherguill, thank you for sharing! That’s a great strategy! ☺️
My dad shared your last video with me. I take care of my mother who had two strokes. Thank you for sharing these with us all. We can't afford in home assistance but now I feel a little less useless trying to help her.
@facelift, I'm so glad you're finding my videos helpful. That's one of the whole reasons I started this channel. Too many people don't have access to care that they need. I hope you and your parents are all doing well. Please take care ❤️
These are great! Thank you for sharing
Yes please. A video on this would be good. I had a stroke in 2019 and have received very poor treatment/therapy and physical therapy afterward.
@stephenardent, I'm so sorry to hear that you haven't had good therapy.
As a COTA I find your information so helpful for ideas to give my patients in home health. Thank you!
@madeleinemorgan, Thanks so much for your kind words! I've worked in a variety of settings, but I love home health. I like finding interventions that can be used for a low cost and with little equipment :)
You have such great ideas I love your channel.
I do believe I hit the jackpot on helping my husband with his spatial problem! He started doing some of this on his own as soon as he got home. It has been a month and home help cannot be found. I am afraid that private home help will be unaffordable for us. I will start with these ideas and find more as time goes by. Thank you so much!
thank you so much nice video
شكرا 🌹،، موفقة باذن الله
Thanks mam u really helping stroke survivours all..over the world with ur superb vedios
Thank you so much for your kind words. ❤️
One exercise my therapist got me to do for left neglect was during my daily walks in the hallways , I had to look straight ahead and point out where all the light switches were on the walls
@stevekierstead, That's a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
after 9 months my neglect is got better.. i still hit shoulder going thru doors sometimes...but making sure i look at the left of the door helped...
Good!
❤️
I have post surgery stroke on my brain which caused left side paralyzed and have peripheral vision on my left eye. Also I have left side neglect and most of time i use only my ride hand. Any suggestions how it can be recovered. Thanks
Light house wow I use that all the time, the truth is im working on my right side walking in the dark walk ways.. They are hard, my stroke was my left brain .
When I was in the hospital the nurses had to make signs on bright Bristol board in the hall to let me know where my room was. I kept going by it on my left side, is this the same thing
@stevekierstead, It certainly sounds like it to me. Sometimes people can have varying types and levels of neglect. It is considered inattention if it isn't too severe, but some people literally neglect one side of their body. They don't even think that their arm is theirs. So you may have been somewhere on the neglect/inattention spectrum!
My neglect comes when I try to find something I know should be there. Like trying to find things in tnr pantry. Sometimes having to look, search again. The finding it on a successive try.
@stephenardent, Yes, there are varying types and severities of neglect. It can impact people differently!
I JUST CANT GET TO WALK...18M POST ECHEAMIC STROKE LEFT SIDE AFFECTED....LOOSING HOPE...NO HELP AVAILABLE
Я использовал таблицу Шульте чтобы вернуть себе поля зрения, моей целью было пройти все числа за 30 секунд, сейчас у меня это получается.
I had to look up the Schulte table. Thank you so much for sharing! That's a great idea! And I'm glad it's been working for you :)
You're an occupational therapist, why would you refer to yourself as a "dr" ??
I received a doctorate in occupational therapy!
PLEASE, just look at an object, pictures, letters & alphabet, immediately starting the program. Usually with aphasia, if you see a video and you’re just talking, I would skip the video, because I didn’t understand what you ask me. It feels like you have nonsense words. The objects were much later than you realized. 😢
