I was watching your presentation on youtube on my tv. on and off since December 2019 or Januaryof this year. For whatever reason you do this, you do it well.You demonstrate it as if you have had yourself a stroke. I honestly admire the depth of your knowledge and understanding of it and your willingness to help the affected people using videos is humanity at its best.
Thank you for your helpful service.
Thank you for watching and for sharing your experience with these videos. I appreciate your kind words and encouragement. I am glad to be able to help :)
Would it be possible to add links to recommended products? And some of the items you use in your videos. Thank you for everything!
Will try for my mom ; hope she recovers
Just a Thank You nobody else does this.
Thank you so much for tips to walk In stair. May allah GIVE you more wisdom
I’m a more visual type person. I listen to what you are saying but I understand better when you show me. Thank you for all you do putting up these videos. I don’t go to physical therapy anymore due to finances. I learn from you and I so much appreciate you. 🤗
Cheryl, I am so happy that the videos are helping. But just to clarify (and help me), are you saying the visuals in this video helped or made it more confusing? I appreciate the feedback so that I can make sure and make any necessary changes for future videos.
Orlando Neuro Therapy your visuals help me to understand and I appreciate it that you mark the effected side. I have a problem understand things sometimes. That’s why when you visually show us what you are talking about I understand and can mimic what you are helping us with. I hope that makes sense. You will never know how much your videos mean to me. You give me hope and that lifts my spirits and I try harder. Thank you.
@@rehabhqofficial I also am a visual learner. It is helpful to see the right way to do an exercise and the wrong way to do it. Body awareness is growing thanks to you.
Dear Tara, I'm into the fourth month of recovery after a massive stroke. Discovered your videos a few weeks ago and was wowed from the start. During this time I've had a few falls and, of course, you make constant reference to falls and the techniques to adopt to avoid them. In fact, I would like you to feature falls on one of your videos and to talk about techniques of getting off the ground and adapting to the reality of the fall and the damage that it can do, especially to one's self-confidence - not to mention one's brain-box! My best!
Thank you Dr., you are a big part of my journey to recover, by next week im ready to go back to work!
That is AWESOME!! What a MAJOR step. I am soooo happy for you :) Keep it up
because of your videos i am now going up and downstairs.AGAINTHANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE.GOD BLESS YOU!
Thank you Tara, I'm going to practice this for sure❤❤❤
Very good video
Best channel for stroke patients, greetings from Poland ;)
Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words :) I hope the videos are helping you!!
I am another one who suffered by hyper extension knee, lower angle and heavy leg caused by spinal injury your tutorial is the best and useful for me. I am not going to rehab gym for a reason but I am doing my exercise at home.
Good day , there is a great improvement in me doing the exercise following the videos you have shared . Day in and day out watch your videos . Activities which i can't do i am trying to do it again. Thank you so much again . Love you loads❤❤❤❤
Thank you Dr.
I never thought of the up and over step…hmm…new challenge! Thanks!
Dear Tara , I have been watching both your videos . Followed exercise too . I can see a marked improvement. The problem i face is my left leg is very weak . Top of it weakness in the limbs , imbalance too . How to go about both ascending descending stairs . You are an angel in disguise
Too much for me. But you are definitely my inspiration!
I'm assuming "Involved" is the affected side.
Thank you for doing these videos they inspire me tol
Galing naman salamat sa mga tips dra.
Thanks for sharing this information.
there is another best way to move through ladder. i experience this best on my patients
Yes, that will also work. :)
Thank you for your video. I wish my knee bent like yours.
Dr , i am having great difficulty in both ascending and descending stairs. Reason being my left leg is weak . Imbalance persists. Will work on the imbalance ( video you just shared ) . The fear of fall engulfed in me . Please both suggest and guide how to go about the same . You are angel in disguise. Lying down on the bed raising my legs is another big problem i am facing. Please do guide me how to go about the same
great exercises
Thank you doctor
Love your videos!
You are most valuable therapiest in the world 💚 just we need more vedios on spastic equino varus foot please we thousends are waiting tor that ⚘
Thanks for watching! I have several videos on this. I refer to this as a "spastic" foot or a "ankle that rolls". As these are more common terms that people are familiar with. Here is one video that might help: ruclips.net/video/iWEtH-A_6uk/видео.html
🏵💛🏵 Thanks Dr. Tara, very nice exercises again. Getting up stairs is not as hard as getting down for me. Main problem when stepping down is the rolling foot. When the leg lengthens and reaches for the lower step with the involved foot, there is a severe danger of falling. So I look forward to your advice on how to tackle this second of uncertainty before that foot has safe ground again and has to carry the whole body weight. 🌸🤗🌸 Lots of summer greetings from Germany! 💝🌺💝
Thanks for sharing Nina? Try starting with stepping off of a lower step, Also, keep working on that weightbearing (and of course all the videos in this series) :) I hope you have an awesome week!.
Super idea Dr. Tara, will start that exercise today. You also have a beautiful week, stay safe and healthy 💕💕👍👍👍
Thank you very much. Is it possible to share how to make such a frame to practice?
Thanks in regard
thank doctor
Thank u Dr Tara
You are very welcome 😊 I hope it helps and I hope you have an amazing week!!
tanks doctor..God bless
You are so welcome. Thank you so much for watching. I hope it helps :)
@@rehabhqofficial they are always great and helpful God bless you
I really like these videos and find them helpful but when the exercises have equipment such as the frame they are not practical for me to do as I am not going to be able to get a frame or have someone make one for me.
Thank you 😊
Your welcome :)
The leg your stepping down with are you supposed to bend the knee your stepping down with?
I wear a custom made afo that I always wear. I am able to go up and down stairs forward or backwards if there is a handrail for my strong right side. Is this acceptable?
Can you please post the the link for the step stools? I couldn't find it on Amazon. Thank you.
Hello, I've been following your videos and exercises. How do I exercise my shoulder joint? I wear an arm brace and want to prevent it from dropping out of its socket.
I don't have 90 degree dorsiflexion. What do I exercises for 90 dorsiflexion?
Thanks for watching!! Yes, this is a very common problem. This video should help: ruclips.net/video/iWEtH-A_6uk/видео.html
I must make such a frame.
Can you recommend someone in Seattle area to help with this?
Did u ever think about writing a book it would be easier to practice step by step
When I step down with my stroke leg, it swings in and would pass the other leg if I don’t concentrate. I am learning to control my stroke leg more but it makes me nervous to come downstairs, leading with my stroke leg.
Can you tell some exercise to uplift effected leg . I had a stroke and my left side had been effected. So my left leg only slide while walking 🚶
I am senior and I climb the stairs with left foot only,while coming down I use right foot only holding the side railing.
I want to use both foot for climbing up and down. Help
Doc how can u do this when you got a drop foot
Do you have drop foot or spasticity? What this video and let me know. It will be easier for me to answer this: ruclips.net/video/aMcazVftpaA/видео.html
What exercise to do when the involved leg scissors inward while getting down the stairs
My involved knee won’t bend and should I leave my AFO on?
The toe of my affected foot always gets caught on the lip of the stair when I’m bringing it up. What am I doing wrong
Hi Steve... you are not alone. This is a very common problem. Work a TON on a low step until you can clear the step before moving on to a higher step. You can do it! I know you can. Just break it down like I show in the video and don't feel the need to move on to the next step too quickly. I hope that helps. Oh, and I hope you have an awesome week :)
Orlando Neuro Therapy I think I’m standing to close to the step , when I’m stepping up . I’ll try stepping back a bit
How to lift someone if they fall and u dont have a lift?
Great video!
What are the dimensions of your PVC square?
Thanks for watching! I recommend chest height. And minimum of double your shoulder width.
I have drop foot on both feet. What type of exercise can I do? I need assistance to even sit, stand and walk.
Is so fantastic what you are doing, you have gave me so many new ideas of how to handle steps. One question:. How to handle leg swing out if you can't bend your knee while going up steps?
Thanks for watching!! I am so glad it is helpful. If you are using the "up with the good" method, you should not have to bend the leg a whole lot. That being said, if. you leg is stiff straight, you will have to swing it out to the side a little even if you lead with the strong leg. Long story short, I am going over how to bend the involved leg in next weeks video because you need to be able to bend it to go step over step. You can use the exercise to help you learn how to bend the leg. Also, keep working on the exercises in the knee hyperextension video. I hope all this makes sense. :)
What if you can’t lift leg up step?
What about for overweight people?
Hello I'm asking you how im supposed to walk faster even if my foot keeps bailing up will it evenly stop but my foot hurts and my mom says just keep walking I need some help or advice to be more independent oh and I got afo but my foot keeps bailing up
Dear Dr.
Thanks for good videos. I am 7 years into my stroke. Of late have developed CPSP. Pain is 24x7 and excruciating. My whole left side feels freshly crouched. Pins & needle and pain makes limbs stiff & numb. Therefore, not able to walk or use my hand for any good work. Could you please suggest some exercise for reducing CPSP. Thanks a lot.
Hi! Thanks for sharing your story. Physiatrists are really great at managing CPSP. As far as exercise, it is multilayered - desensitization, and staying on top of shoulder range of motion. Unfortunately, the less you move it the more it will hurt. I think I will do an entire video on this so stay tuned! And hand in there. I know CPSP can be very frustrating, It will get better! Don't give up!!
What’s your thought on all these knee braces that claim to displace body weight thus enabling to move your legs for walking running and climbing stairs
I have no opinion as to whether or not it works for the sellers stated purpose (arthritis and other orthopaedic issues). However, I have had patients purchase this thinking that it will enable them to support their body weight with a weak leg (due to a neurologic condition). In which I would say it is not going to work.
Have watched your show and would like to ask some question. I have difficulty in walking since childhood. They say I was now legged when I was young and they had me use boots as a kid. I think my issue was that when I walk my front foot looks for something to step on, like drop foot. This causes me to drag my feet such that it does not look that I am lifting my feet. Also when I climb stairs now, the foot that is left on the lower step, when going up hits the step I am climbing such that the front of my shoes hits the step I am Climbing before my foot can clear the step. Any advise or exercise you can recommend?
dear dr.
what is the best exercise to improve my knee almost a year im suffering from stroke i can not flex my knee while walking
Thanks for watching! This video might help: ruclips.net/video/yKEv2YKl338/видео.html
Question: how do you fix the problem of affected leg being pulled toward centre when reaching lower step? I'm sure it's a common problem.
Yes, this is a very common problem. Put a target on the ground and try and aim for that. If that doesn't work, put something strudy on the ground in front of the uninvolved leg so that it blocks the foot from coming over. I hope that helps.
@@rehabhqofficial thanks dr. T. I can do that. But, it's a dynamic issue that happens when I'm walking with extended step close to my step limit.
Is there is any problem in starting with involved leg when pt is able to step up with involved leg?
generally speaking, for safety reasons, we always teach up with the stronger leg. I hope that helps!
My name is Qiana.
I have aphasia.
That means I sometimes have trouble getting my words right.
Please give me extra time to speak.
Thank you for commenting. Your comment looks 100% accurate. Keep up the great work! And never worry about having a few typos in the comments. I am pretty good at understanding even if a few words might be out of place ;)
hi dear i m multiple scleeosis patient with whole left side weakness nd foot drop also.how much time should be devoted on exercise for each leg arm nd foot
Thanks for watching! This video might help answer this: ruclips.net/video/HIrSWm70MBo/видео.html
@@rehabhqofficial i listened to this.but when i am not able to lift leg what should i do then?.sorry to trouble u but i really want to know
Going down was hard i always thought i was going to fall
Melissa, that is a very common problem. What the video in the description titled "technique for going up and down stairs :)
For some reason I can only do the stairs with weak leg stepping up and stronger leg stepping down. Exactly reversed as I supposed to do. Stepping down in about a 45 degree angle is the only way I can come down the stairs.
I don't èvèn stand
I would prefer to watch video than just to hear . 90% of talking is not good . It does not help
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the feedback! :)
@@rehabhqofficial i love the video as well as your explaination
i am multiple sclerosis patient.Do these exercises help to recover in ms also nd will i be able to walk again.my left body is involved .weak arm leg nd foot drop too.can u plz answer me how much time i should devote to exercise for each affected part
@@tarjitkaur8256 if you live in canada, theres a device called PONs being used for MS as a physical therapy. Its showing great result for MS and Parkinson's. It's available in Surrey and Calgary now. See if you can access that. It works with your brain through tongue stimulation. Btw, it's not available in US yet.
