Thank you, I'm a stroke survivor.. This is the exercise that will bring me back to walk naturally.. Knee lock is my problem for about 10 yrs. Will keep you updated as it improves....
I am 70 years old & Stroke in 2019, hemiplegia, had 6 mo. basic physical training, can walk limping a limited distance. Your videos helps a lot (still) fighting hyperextension and knee side movement. An awareness of limb position slowly develops. Thank you from my ❤ ! Mike P.
Thanks, Doc. You are awesome! I don't know how to express my gratitude. These are exactly my problems. I have been search the cause and solutions for years. Thank you!
Simply love to watch Your videos over and over again. THANKYOU SO MUCH. has helped me a lot ..more than You can imagine. Thanks once again. Keep posting the videos n reach out to a larger audience who truly need Your help .💕
Hey @lei, Not ideal bonding over MS but I've been relearning how to strut IN HEELS for longer than I thought it would take (18 months) and still yet to balance in them😅 however its taken a whilebto know what exactly to target.. But months ago I could barely walk at all. I can now say i can walk 7 - 10,000 steps before by leg decides to call it a day. How're you doing since applying the exercises in this video? Moni
Hello doctor I really appreciate your time for making these informative and helpful videos. If you don’t mind , I’d like you to talk about electrotherapy for stroke patients. Thanks in advance!
I’ve watched this video in the past and have added it my Therapy Playlist. After walking on the beach yesterday in Myrtle Beach (vacation), I’m reminded I need to put more focus on these exercises. 😅 Thanks again for helpful guidance!
I tried to do the sliding of my heal back towards my button, and thank God I was able to do it. My knee is hyperextending occasionally since about 10 month of wearing the Afo I put it down,and strengthened my leg muscles so that I can give up the Afo for good. My biggest issue now is my ankle rolling especially when I get stressed. Thank you so much for the great videos. Like I said in my previous comment somewhere you are aGod sent .
I just came across your website and this youtube channel. I appreciate your great endeavor to inform other individuals. I can also learn more as a physical therapist. Keep up your amazing work! Greetings from İstanbul :)
My father had stroke 1 month back , I'm doing his physiotherapy. As I've also noticed that that after his quardiceps are strong enough his knee started to bend backward that is very awful and it feels like it will damage the ligaments if he walk more. At this time walking is very important for him, his hamstrings are weak. I've started these exercises on him and hope that it will work for him.
Sorry to hear about your father Sana, how's he doing now? Was struck with MS been retraining my brain and body since. What hamstring exercises are you helping him with and how is his walking now?
@@sanazulfiqar330 oh my 🤦🏾♀️💔 so sorry for the loss of his physicality. But I do hope somewhere in you, you believe in transcendence (meaning he's just no longer in this visible, tangible plane of Perceptiblity) but he's rather your overseer caring for you now and your spirit! Shallom Sana (may you find eventual peace) ❤️🙏🏽
I'm so glad to learn I can fix my knees! Thank you for your explanations! Strengthening the hamstring and glutes with heavier exercises would work too?
Thank you so much for these videos my current physical therapist hasn’t specifically targeted my knee problem unless some of what she’s had me do which just confuses me constantly is her way of doing something for my knee. I’m just never sure with her she confuses me every session and she’s not very clear on why she’s doing specific exercises.
Dr. Tara,thank you very much for everything that you do speaking for many your great experience and videos are a blessing to us all. During this covid lockdown I do not go to therapy and they tell me that I do not qualify for in home therapy. Perhaps there are other people that encounter the same problem!
First video ive watched that has broken down the micro movement's to get back.. My knees more knock knees gow can i work on this? And thank you thank you thank you forbyour detailed breakdown
@@povyourereadingmyusername It did. It took a while but as I strengthened the muscles around my knee, especially behind my knee in my case, it started to help. Since then my walking has really improved. Good luck. Keep at it.
Dr T, thank you for this well explained video. But from what I see is this, the exercises only work with patients who have some sort of movements. What about those with 0 power? Could you please offer more variations. Thank you
Those who have zero movement , start with passive ROM exercises and ask the patient to pay attention on the movement. Plus start strengthening on the opposite side as well, it will help to start movements again.
Really like that you point out the different aspects. My pattern changes over the day. When I get up is clearly my ankle pushing my knee back but it gets better over the day. I usually walk up and down the hallway in the evening as it feels more normal by than. 🙏
Dr Tara...thank you so much for the perfect explaination:-)..I struggle with this issue most probably because of weak hamstrings..this not only leading to knee hypertension I can neither bend my knee backwards..can you suggest some excercises to help me bend my knee from behind? I have checked multiple places but none of them actually gave me an answer to help me bend the knee backwards...this is actually making my gait very weird specially while climbing up the stairs..so if I work on these excercises will I be also able to bend the knee backwards?
Thank you. I'm a Pilates instructor, but have had hip imbalance which caused pain, I thought i had it sussed, but for 2 years I've had chronic knee pain on the same side. I think it's probably to do with over active quads? It's confusing because I do heel slides, toe taps and bridges all the time. This was helpful, I need to check I'm not activating the hip flexor over the ham string. Thank you.
I’m catching up on the videos now. My therapist have me doing the last exercise but without a board just sliding my leg by myself. It was difficult at first but got so much better over time. Are you going to do videos about the knee flapping out to the side? I follow a lot of your exercises on the days I do not have therapy.
Also trunk strengthening in sitting after CVA, ways to desensitize, and ways to break flexion patterns for bed bound pts( I work in home health mostly with the geriatric population)
@@tamikawright5954 also Neuro IFRAH. It incorporates (some) NDT principles however the major benefit is that you will leave the 2 week course with 2 HUGE binders full of treatment ideas. This totally transformed the way I treat patients with neurologic conditions. :)
Hellow doctor can i use muscle stimulator to help me bend the knee while doing the gravity assisted exercise that you showed .. thank you very much doc. Im also doing your exercise how to keep the arm straight whilevwalking , the one that you hold a stick at the back of your leg, and i see a progress my arm does not go up that much while walking thank you🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you so much for these videos, started doing these exercises for knee hyperextension in day3 i feel some soreness on my glutes n hamstring , could this be a sign that my muscles are activating?
Thank you very much for useful exercises. My issue is that I don't have calf muscle control at all. How to regain the control of the same post stroke. I'm left side paralyzed. Now walking slowly. Can't bend my legs backwards, and can't shake my ankle & leg fingers. It's all totally in out of control. Please reply. Thank you.
Hello Tara I had knee hyperextension along with no dorisiflecion in involved leg . I do knee hyperextension progression exercises as suggested in vedio .. Please guide me. How to get progressed in knee hyper extension and ankle problem
Thank you for great exercises! I have MS and issue with foot drop and raising the knee while walking. I must use cane because I am out of balance. I hope this will help for my weak leg.
Dr. T how' are you doing? just to add to what you're doing because I have the same exact issues what I found to work for me was putting my heel on exercise ball and pulling it back towards me. you are the best thank you and have a blessed day.I found my why? Thanks
Yes, a gym ball is great for this. Just make sure you are pushing down into the ball and not just bringing your knee up to your chest. :) Thanks for sharing!!
Omg, I just saw the last part of this comment. I am so happy you are applying what I am sharing in my newsletter!! The “why” is so so important so this makes me so happy 😊
Could you please let me know why the leg falls on to the side and what should I work on to improve that? This is a trouble when I try to lift my leg and wear my footwear or shoes.please help me and tell me which muscle weakness is leading to this
Thank you for your help, something your teaching in your videos is working for me I can see and feel a lot of progress ever since I started working on all the different muscles according to your videos, thank you so very much.
Please please answer is this exercise applies even if you have drop foot ... can you do exercise like this one with board wearing your footbrace ? Please I need to know .. thank you so much..
Thank you for all you do to help those stroke survivors! Sadly, how can you help if the affected right side leg also has a foot issue (club foot)? I'm trying to help my mum. Thanks x
Hi Tara, I have severe spasticity and lost motor control. Can you please explain what exercises would help to relearn the movement by controlling the spasticity. I have both hyper extension knee and foot pointing towards down.
I hyper extended my knee at a soccer game but I don’t feel much symptoms. I have 0 knee pain, the only thing I feel is that it isn’t as stable as my right knee. Does that mean 2 weeks of rehab and I should be good to do intense running again?
yes, the link should be for a 3 pack. I like the shorter straps because the 36" strap is sometimes to long. The 24" straps are more versatile and since you have 3 you can use 2. But I have very few patients that I can not get a 24" strap around both knees. :) I hope that answers your question.
Hi. I had a stroke and have high extensor tone and literally no hamstring strength In either leg. I tried and couldn’t even do the most basic exercise you described (legs strapped together on elevated board). Can you think of an even more basic exercise to strengthen my hamstrings? Use a strap and pull legs?
what about how to restore the normal functions of affected arm ... i am a stroke survivor and up to now i csnt still move normally my left parts of my body like my left arms and i am still using chain to walk can you provide me some good exercises to bring back to normal my effected parts of my body maam ty ..
About a week out of hospital from stroke I fell and broke my hip on my affected side. When doing surgery for hip they cut through muscle could that surgery effect my quads from activating properly making my knee to pop back?
Generally speaking, many of these strategies might help to decrease this abnormal reflex however, there is no cure for this. Again, generally speaking many of the strategies that I talk about for spasticity may help to slightly decrease this involuntary movement. I hope that helps!
I’ve noticed that if I loosen up my ankle before I walk it helps my knee from hyperextending
Thank you for sharing!! I hope everyone on here reads this. It is so true. Keep working and you will keep seeing progress. : )
steve kierstead how do you loosen it up I have this problem now your imput would be great
steve kierstead how do you stretch your ankle?
