Thank you for demonstrating withe the left as the involved side. That's me. I appreciate the visuals. Your the best. I truly appreciate your videos and explanations.
I have use the strong leg up, weak leg down since the beginning but now, when I put the strong leg to go up, my weak leg will scissor behind the strong leg. What exercise can I do to not have the leg scissor behind me
Thank you so much for both explaining and demonstrating how to go about the same. You are blessed with a very humble heart down to earth person , reaching out to help people who face this issue. Standing ovation for you mam ❤❤❤
Dr. Tobias someone asked me why do I listen to you and I thought about it and the reason I listen to you is the amount of attention you pay to the details you're definitely inside our heads and we thank you for that
Hello Dr. Tobias - I'm currently / rehabbing a client post-stroke who has "heavy leg" with minimal movement. Your vids are super helpful in my target to get this man walking squarely again. A little bit at a time. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing these.
I am in stroke over a year, I have a double storey house only one side rail favouring my involved side I never went upstairs since I was affected this video taught me how to go up using one side rail AM so grateful Tara,
Hi Dr T. I just want to say really Appreciate you putting yourself in the shoes of survivors during demonstration. Has made me Appreciate the difficulties of my husband.
Thank you. This is really very helpful for me, especially the going down at an angle, that’s like a Revelation. Because I freak out going downstairs when I look at the incline and sometimes the ground/ terrain appears to be shifting then that immediately imbalances my mind, and then my whole body is thrown out of balance and alignment These are really very helpful tips. Thank you Tara. Bless you
@@alviealcasid6288 Glad you have been able to overcome "how it looks" I always tell my patients (who are concerned with how it might look to use a safe technique) that laying on the ground after a fall would be worse. :)
Good stuff, here. I've used all those techniques at one time or another. I was sure the going-down-backwards method was not recommended but I tried it before watching this video and found it to be quite easy for me.
I just started looking and listening to your videos. I TRULY THANK GOD FOR YOUR VIDEOS. Usually I give up after 2 or 3 exercises for my ms. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK YOU'RE DOING
I loved this video Dr Tobias, thank you so much! I am 5 weeks post - right sided brain stroke (Ischemic) Your videos have helped me enormously in my recovery. I am about to attempt the stairs again, after listening to your expert advice. I'm going to ask a friend to video my foot/leg movement so I can see what to correct. I look forward to your next video alway. Yours in gratitude, Tania
Thanks for the smart and instructional video.Useful tips on how to properly walk the stairs with and without railing . The main thing is to maintain balance and overcome fear.
Namaste. My problem is when there are no rails available. I can't walk up stairs. But when I saw your video. I practic and benefits me. Thank you so much. 🙏
i am so glad i can join cuz i never understood a youtube video and where the description was and to hit the bell cuz i never saw these things on youtube on my tv and im so happy to join to help me to ever walk right again i never knew these terms u talk about i have the pointing in my toes big one and knee doesnt bend and im trying to understand ur ideas thank u i wanted to join lastt year but as i said didnot understand where the description was until i was on my laptop i see it only i was just watching about vaulting cuz i have had that since my stroke in 2016
Excellent video Tara, I can alreasy do house stairs and your way of going up and down a kerb seems right to me. My physio wants me to always keep my quad stick with my weaker leg, but it seems right to put it on the next step up when going up, putting my affected leg down first when going down stairs seems scary to me with the stick behind me but I'm less scared of tipping backwards than forwards down the stairs. I have a drop foot and struggle to lift my heavy knee high enough to come up the stair, my toes always catch as you say. Thank you for your helpful videos, would be nice sometime to see one of your stroke patients do the demos, we all know you don't have the stroke problems that we have, you make it look so easy, but your topics are always very relevant.
Oh gosh, another HUGE problem for many people. Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely upload one soon. In the meantime, look at my video on how to roll from your back to your stomach. Practice this and it will teach you better body awareness to eventually learn how to get out of bed from a laying down position. Often time after I practice this with a patient, they tell me they can get in and out of be a lot easier. :)
Had stroke almost 2years ago. Fingers ate the worst.I finally got dismemberment back by just squeezing a,water bottle all day.I've Had everything. Mirror a ball clay rubber band exercises. Water bottle works and then I use it to practice pouring it out in a sink for wrist movement. Good luck.
Watching from the Philippines🇵🇭 Happy holidays ..hi Dr. Tara thank you so much for sharing the video, really help a lot . going up stairs & going down..yes mom" i'm doing exactly right ..no stairs? Nope' i rather play safe..my 2 years❤ ..over all im happy for what's going on..no more heavy load feeling part's on my body thanks God🙏🏽😇.i can walk slowly strait now withoit any help..like your clog black shoes i used to have 1 like that ..i'm retired Chef again thank's❤
I had hemiplegia due to a brain surgery causing a strokeand i have used both legs to go up stairs but i cant grab the bars with my left arm yet. I have shorter steps made of wood to get mr into my house but just going to the floor upstairs my good leg gets me up however my good leg muscles very sore from the climb up . especially on the outer side of my knee and the lower leg too. Inliked your video on hyprtextension. I have it onmy affected side and im trying your board excercise with a wedge under the hip which helps. this is 8 years so far but my determination will see me through. I really like your videos . I showed it to my therapistand she finds them helpfull too. shes a retired physiotherapist and volunteered to help me with my recovery. Its very hard work. I assume I have to wait for my posterior chain to be stronger before attempting going down the stairs to my basement?
Very helpful. I am glad you recommend a four pronged stick. My physio wont let me use one although my first physio did and i was going well. Now i have to use a wheelie walker which i feel restricts my progress. Please could you comment.
Thanks once again for your explanation of what used to be something I did without having to think about it. I have a problem with leading with my stroke leg when I’m coming downstairs. It tends to swing inwards towards where my good foot will want to be next time around and I can’t stop it. I’m trying to avoid tripping myself up so 7 months after my stroke (In hospital for 9 weeks) I’m not confident enough that I can control the stroke leg enough to lead with it. Any suggestions?
thanks for this one of my biggest problems no wait i mean my problem is i find it hard to maintain focus i say to myself ok kevin get back in your head you are outside your head again it takes such focus and brain power to complete a movement at times i get exhausted after a trip to the barber or dentist or out in town i will practice the techniques i'm sure they will help it took a long time for me to walk again after my stroke
in PT immediately after my second stroke that really hurt my left side they had me go sideways up/down stairs when I only had a rail on my involved (? bad) side. it worked well for me and felt safer than leading with that leg backwards plus with cats who can be unpredictable crazy obstacles makes me glad I have a ramp and no steps in house although it did not stop one from tripping me last week. deep bone bruise in arm halted progress I made after reinjuring my shoulder lifting it to put a shirt on with assistance re killing my range of motion. got a ton of your videos bookmarked to work closest to furthest to hopefully reduce spasticity and maybe regain more motion than I did in six months of pushing myself hard in PT five days a week. if I can regain use of fingers I will be even happier though
This is extremely helpful! I especially like the turning to a slight angle when going down stairs. It helps to not look all the way down the stairs. Take it a step at a time! Thanks Tara!
Hi Dr. I have developed some difficulty from going downstairs without rails that I didn't have before. Which muscle groups should I strengthen for going downstairs ?
Thank you for the videos they are so informative. I would like it very much if you would do a video on how to get out of a shower. I have a bench so getting in is not a problem, but standing to get out is. My husband has to assist me. I would like to do it myself. Thanks so very much.
Nolaig McKaigney Thanks for watching. If you’re talking specifically for going up and down stairs, if you use the technique in the video for example going up with a good leg and coming down leading with a bad leg you should not have any issues with any that will not bend. If you want to learn how to bend your knee, watch any of my videos on stiff leg. I hope this helps and thanks again for watching
I really appreciate all your videos, my husband suffered a stroke a year ago, his left side is effected. I noticed that you use many braces that I can use to help my husband with with excersize, especially his left leg. His drop foot is getting better, I would appreciate if you can put names to the different pieces of braces or apparatus used on some of your videos. Thanks again.
Hi Priscilla! Thank you for watching. I hope the videos are helping you to help. your husband. As far as products, in most cases I link the products in the description below the video. I also sell a night splint and will be adding a wrist splint soon! Here is the link to find the night splint (ankle splint) rehab-hq.com/shop/
Hi Tara, I am into my fifth year post ischemic stroke. Left side involved. I watch your videos again and again. I have had many physical and occupational therapist. I have never had one that really approaches my therapy with a clear vision of recovering from stroke. Even the neuros. You seem to have a great understanding of stroke. I have asked every therapist to teach me to fall safely. The most common remark “We don’t want you to fall” and so they don’t. I have fallen twice where I broke my involved arm. Could you please do a video about falling safely? Thanks Howard
Thank you for the comment and the suggestion! First things first, try and figure out why the falls are happening and fix that. Second, yes, learn how to fall and protect the most vulnerable/fragile parts of the body. :) I will add this to the list. :)
Dr. Tobias the 45 degree angle stepping, down road curbs has help me..I still use the quard port when I m outside thanks. I m able to use the stairs to help bend the weak knee for gait training, while stepping down with my strong leg
Mam Tory good evening I want to ask if I'm going down on my uninvolved leg 🦵,can I use the same strategy as going up?45degree ?and I want to hold on the railing instead of my cane?thank you mam.
That is a great question! I actually get that question a lot. High to get on and off a high bed, high bar stool or into an SUV where the seat is higher than normal. That being said, I think this is a great idea for a video :) Hard to explain in the comments so I will try and get this video out to you soon :)
I have trouble with stairs and curbs, but don't use a cane. My balance is now gradually getting worse, but I want to hold off getting an assistive device till absolutely necessary. Any advice for maintaining my balance on curbs or stairs without rails?
Does this apply for one with spasticity , as well ? I'm finding it increasingly difficult to walk up and down stairs. The legs and back feel heavy and "tight". Please advice.
omg I hate the six steps to our house i've been doing them wrong from a past therapist! I can't wait to (your)try these techniques cuz thse able bodied persons around me don't get how scarey these steps seem to me
yup, I hear it from almost every single patient when they first start doing stairs. You are not alone. That is why I show the backward technique as "an in-between technique" until you get more comfortable going down forward.
Yes Doctor I have been suffering from toes movement failure for the past 12 years after suffering from paralysis. Could you provide a video how to do exercise to regain movement, please.
I have been recovering from a stroke. And I have been watching all your videos. The stroke was in 2017 and the initial recovery was good. The problem I face is the fear of knee buckling. While climbing down the stairs, my involved leg has to go down, but it is hyperextended. So I end up putting down my uninvolved leg down first. Same holds good for walking too. I am slow, but I manage without a cane. A slightest elevation, I seek somebody's hand or some kind of support to get myself up. Pls do help with this?
I got suffered with left side hemiplegia in 2019 after undergoing my brain tumour surgery...since then I am continuously doing exercises but still unable to get back fine movements of my hands and fingers😒
Thank you for demonstrating withe the left as the involved side. That's me. I appreciate the visuals. Your the best. I truly appreciate your videos and explanations.
I have use the strong leg up, weak leg down since the beginning but now, when I put the strong leg to go up, my weak leg will scissor behind the strong leg. What exercise can I do to not have the leg scissor behind me

during rehab i hated going down stairs or steps. Also before stroke i had bad knees so it has made it even more difficult!!!
Any advice on getting in and out of drivers side of a car would be appreciated please.
This is true...I found this out the hard way...by collapsing few times.
Up with strong leg, down (in reverse) with your weaker leg.
Hi dr What to do when its hard to to bent weak knee? Thanks for your videos i love them.
Thanks for watching! that is a a great question. Checkout any of my videos on "leg stiffness". This is usually what I am referring to :)
Hi Tara,
I am into my fifth year post ischemic stroke. Left side involved.
I watch your videos again and again. I have had many physical and occupational therapist. I have never had one that really approaches my therapy with a clear vision of recovering from stroke. Even the neuros. You seem to have a great understanding of stroke.
I have asked every therapist to teach me to fall safely. The most common remark “We don’t want you to fall” and so they don’t. I have fallen twice where I broke my involved arm.
Could you please do a video about falling safely?

I am 5months post MVA ischemic left side weakness. Want to know how can i get my movement faster, do u recommend long distance walking for that?
THANKS YOU GOODNESS 🌟 DAPHNE COTTON ALWAYS 💜 AWESOME
What if the involved leg gets sccissoring inside when you try to step down? Thx for all your videos 🤩
no worries, taping the involved limb is helpful
Dziękujemy.
Thank you
Thank you!
Hi Tara
Do you have any ideas how I can practice to get on and off a high bar stool. I am 5 yrs post ischemic stroke
Thanks
That is a great question! I actually get that question a lot. High to get on and off a high bed, high bar stool or into an SUV where the seat is higher than normal. That being said, I think this is a great idea for a video :) Hard to explain in the comments so I will try and get this video out to you soon :)
I have trouble with stairs and curbs, but don't use a cane. My balance is now gradually getting worse, but I want to hold off getting an assistive device till absolutely necessary. Any advice for maintaining my balance on curbs or stairs without rails?
