Walking after a stroke: stop knee hyperextension
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2019
- Knee hyperextension can make walking extremely difficult. It might make you feel like you are falling backward or just unsteady. It sometimes can also cause pain behind the knee. All that being said, that is a way to STOP the knee recurvatum (hyperextension). In this video I will show you how to stand and relearn how to gait knee control after a stroke or a brain injury. Those with multiple sclerosis may also find this tutorial extremely helpful to improve walking

hello,can u please tell me what is the progression from crouch walking ? i had my stroke in 2017 , and have got used to walking in bent position of knee that makes me look short in height and i cant walk fast or long distance. if i straighten my knee, it still goes into hyperextension;how can i resolve the issue and walk in neutral postion without using any knee cage ? kindly clear my very old doubt, i always keep asking you, . your answer can change my life. thanking you in advance.
I legally can not provide medical advice via email. The only emails that reach me are those who have scheduled an in person evaluation.
How can I schedule a personal evaluation ? Thanks
I have also the same problem
Tara I don't believe she was asking for medical advice. She was asking what the next exercise is after crouch walking. I'm starting to do crouch walking or more of a lunge walk which keeps the ankle very stable. There's no inversion or eversion. but I foresee the same thing. There has to be a balance. Could you tell us what the next exercise is or how do you balance yourself out. There's gotta be a way..

Thanks! Our PT decided they have gone as far as we can go so thank you for being there to help make progress!
Best stroke physio i have ever seen, really in depth knowledge.
Just watched today...another one to develop....i love all of your videos! I do work hard to recover fully! God bless Doc!
Hi Dr Tara, I have ms and caught Covid in Christmas 2022. I have not got back to what I was before and have been struggling with knee hypertension but I wanted to let you know that I watched part one of this topic and you suggested trying a heel lift insert into my shoe so I thought I would give it ago and it is really helping! It even helped while driving as not as extreme as an AFO which I do have but find unbalancing and tiring and also can not drive with. Amazing how such a simple solution helps. A bit of plastic under my heel to lift and promotes the knee to bend. Thank you 🙏
Excellent video. Thank you.
thx again for your time making these videos
Glad I found these two this. Is one of my main leg issues.
Thank you so much. Dr. Tara Its a big help.
I love your videos. It would be helpful if you continue to show the video while you talk so we can see the movement as you speak about it.
Very great video. Thanks to you
Thank you Dr. Tobias. Iam battling with these issues. This video is sooo helpful !!!
So eloquent informative it's easy to follow and get the results
Im.still working a program moving into year 3, nd appreciate being able to fine tune my efforts via exposure to your detailed mastery of your professional craft. Thank you Dr. Tobias!
Thank you for the content. It really helps and gives hope.
Thank you for watching! keep going!! Set small goals and be consistent with your daily therapy. :) You will get there!!
beautifully informative. excellent the exercises with the step stool.
Your fantastic!!!! Very much appreciate your self help video's..
Thanks…I have ms this is so helpful!
Dr Tara you are amazing I have a elder(73) had a stroke and been neglected for 2 years. Recently been watching your videos and it helps so much. I how ever need help to strengthen and straighten a bend leg(knee locked). Can you help?
I came across your videos like everything else...by accident. I’ve been locked into them for 3 days straight. I have not had a stroke, no ms, no Parkinson’s or anything else you’ve referred to. I have spinocerebellar ataxia origin unknown. I’ve been doing your exercises for only about a day but your little cues on the neuromuscular side of things are a great help. I wish I could go to you for therapy as the place I’ve been going only looks at the physical injury and not the coordination of all the parts. I’m only two hours up the road so I may take a drive once all this mass hysteria settles.
Keep up the great videos!
thank you for watching! Cerebellar ataxia is a tough diagnosis. I do not have any videos (yet) that address issues associated with ataxia. I will keep this in mind for future videos!
Thankyou for this video about locking knee. But I also have my right eye seems to be blurry, out of tune with the right, going up and down especially when I look on the right. My tablet screen seems to wobble, sometimes. Doctor said my eye is good but problem is behind the eye. I got tinnitus as well in left ear more. Cannot listen to radio, tinnitus comes louder as high pitch. I am always dizzy. Had a stroke in year 2020. Praise God I can still walk. I posted this comment on 15th May 2023. Anything that can help? Doctor said I have brainstem damage. Thanks Jimmy
SNF PTA here. Just subbed. Great video and thank you for covering this issue.
Very helpful information...my hemiplegia patient have same problem now I will try this. Thanks
GREAT recommendation for knee hyperextension.
Thank you so much for such informative video
I got 80% results in reduction of genurecurvatum with in 2 month in my post stroke patient
Thanks very much Tara.
Thanks for sharing....
Thank you mam video reallly hepsmea lot
Dr. Tara, I was infected by West Nile virus in September of 2021, since then I have been doing many hours of therapy to return to walking. My right knee bends back and these Exercises look to be helpful I will keep you posted
Thank you so much
Great video
I have MS and foot drop and also a hyper flexible knee. These exercises are very helpful! Thanks for your no nonsense approach and clear explanations!
Thank you for watching and for sharing a part of your story! This community has had a lot of people with Multiple Sclerosis join recently. Hopefully I can help you all. :) Any suggestions for a future video? managing "MS related fatigue"? what are lesions? how to reduce risk of exacerbations? Anyway, I would love to know what you might be interested in. Thanks :)
Hey I have MS to. I just had relapse and turns out my knee goes into "hyper flex" as well. Glad you know it actually helped you! I get it once I have walked for 15 to 20 odd mins
I have these issues too and also I have an ankle that is very weak and drops to the inside which is very painful. Do you have any exercises on that please? How can I stabilize my ankle? Thank you so much ❤️🙏
thank you..Doc
Hi from malaysia..Thank you dr for all the knowledge and info..can u show more on upper limb retraining exercise..
Thank you so much madam
Thank you
Pls keep making more videos on knee exercises for stroke patient with right hand and right leg paralyzed.
Dr. TobiasI had a 5 1/2 years ago and two more sense so I have really been having a hard time trying to recover amid all this going on today i.e. COVID-19 insurance problemsAlthough I live alone I have a small apartment I’m trying as hard as I can so thank you very much for all that you have done
Thank you. I finally found the excercise i was looking for.. Im 6 months into stroke and i cant figure out what to do with my hyper extending knee. I will definitely try this.
Did it help?
Thank you . I have a problem in the spine, vertebrae spurs and pressure on the nerves in the lumbar region
Do you have a recommendation for how to add a lateral flare to the shoe for the affected leg with a supinated foot? From another of your wonderful videos thanks so much for your videos not able to work with a therapist any more so your videos are a wonderful gift thanks for taking the time to make these wonderful videos and explanations/exercise suggestions
I have an stroke 3 years ago and my shoulder and my hand they are a little stiff so l need one exercise to charge that thanks
Dr. Tara, thanks so much for all you do. These videos really help. Would you be able to post something on hip hiking and circumduction while walking post stroke?
Thanks for watching! I will work on this. Stay tuned :)
Thank you!
Thank dr
Thank u
very informative but trying my best to properly perform these partial sit to stands.
This is really amazing to me I just found your video my doctor put me in really heavy knee braces to prevent my knees from going back but noone ever said I could do exercise to get them to not extend back is this true that by doing these exercises my knees will stop going back and I could walk normal again
Thanks a lot ma'am ur teaching was awesome. I need help for one of my patient. He is walking with hyperknee extension with a jerk. How should I control hyper knee extension during walking. He is already using AFO. Please help
Yes, i also have lots of troubles with knee hypertension. It is painful and wants to lock when you are somewhere standing for a longer length of time. Then i would hff ave to hold on to something to get mt knee to unlock so as to start walking again. I have been doi g the new deal of standing up with most of my weight on my problem leg. It is helping. Slow, but sure. 🤨
Love your videos. Wish you were closer I live in NM
Any referrals in Albuquerque ?
Dr you are a God sent for me. After my stroke I had a very serious knee buckling problem and I couldn’t walk at all. After the rehabilitation I started walking but my right knee hyper extends. When I am standing straight with my knees locked( both feet together toes in a straight line) my right knee is two inches back than the left knee. As a result I walk with a limp because my right hip becomes higher than the left. I am not stable on my feet. If I don’t hyperextend my right knee it buckles for 10-15 degrees.
Doctor I am a very healthy male apart from this issue an I love/enjoy a active life. Is there any hope/chance of my being able to walk normal again.
Thank you.
I do a lot of the activities in the video but patients knee continues to hyperextend weeks and weeks of therapy. How long does it usually take to see a difference ?
Thank you from Ukraine!
Thanks for the video...is there any other ways to fix knee hyperextension for kids?
And before I forget, thank you guys for listening to me. I just wanted to know how to regain strains I can boom my leg back barely but I want to get it to where I can have no strength to stand up and maneuver and not be so shaky I did my feet every day but like I said it feels like everything is getting weaker and harder to do and I know part of it is VA Tia, tap my foot every day and they do it with 10 pound weight but it seems like that’s not even helping me achieve. The reflection is to get AFL that hold the foot up.
This is a great video. When did you change your channel name from Orlando Neuro to Rehab HQ?
Thanks so 🙏🕉️🌺🌺
my knee goes to backwards. your videos are helpful can you please guide and consultant with me
Please show in detail those partial sit to stands.
Dr Tara, how can i schedule a personal evaluation please ? thanks
do you have a link for that knee strap or other suggestion on what to use
I really appreciate these videos but I have another problem I can’t do jumping jack or run on the treadmill, why is that?
This has been a big problem for me. I'm telling myself to walk on a slightly bent knee to avoid snap back. Doing this also makes my gait look more normal.
absolutely. It will make your walking feel more "normal". Thanks for sharing!
I wonder if it can be adjusted from excessive forward slope of the pelvis to excessive foreclimbing of the lumbar spine, knee joint and nerve during the transition from knee joint strengthening to standing position to walking.
I think I may have had a mini stroke from a severe reaction to medication (ibuprofen) 2 years ago which was for a hand injury.
Ever since I took thr medicine I have involuntary twitches, trouble walking ( knees feel weak and I am always off balance and always nearly fall) problems picking things up, almost robotic and not a smooth motion and my eyes are pretty skittish. Its the most debilitating feeling and it has given me severe anxiety. I had a suspicion I love had a mini stroke and now seeing a stroke can affect walking and weak knees I think I need to pay to see a neurologist to find out ..
Is there any way of doing a videoconsultation with you? I just wanted to discuss my case with you once & if there is any other thing that I can do for my recovery.
Hey can you please put a link to that bow thing.
thank you! You are talking a lot about the knee but which muscles on the leg are being strengthen with these? :)
Hello when I do my squats and my legs go in words and I get fatigue and I get very tired and I decided to use a ball in between my knees your leg and it’s a lot better to do squats
I'm also suffering from atexia and knee hypertension please send me excersise plan thanks
Mam, what is the name of the straps used in the above exercises?
Thanks for the new ideas! My question is,if a healthy leg stands on a suppot, and paralyzed leg on the floor,can I fully straighten?and rather than staying in a position to bend over.
Great Question! If you go into hyperextension you do not want to straighten in out all the way. In my experience, the only way to make sure it does not lock out is to bend it more than feels natural.
Thankyou again! But my question is why can’t walk up stairs normally, but your videos are right on time👌🏾
Thanks for watching! have you watched my video on how to walk up and down stairs?
Orlando Neuro Therapy no I haven’t, but I can do it but I can’t lift my leg high enough to clear the step
@@dancers1113 here is the video ua-cam.com/video/FOjqcHHqrHI/v-deo.html. I demonstrate how to go up leading with your stronger leg so it shouldn't be a problem. If you can't lift your other leg, it might be due to a "stiff leg". You might benefit from watching: ua-cam.com/video/_Q8LOS6Yv60/v-deo.html or my last series on how to move "a heavy leg": ua-cam.com/video/vhWe_cMtsG8/v-deo.html (part one); part 2: ua-cam.com/video/SffWngukozA/v-deo.html
Orlando Neuro Therapy Thankyou again I’m gonna watch it and work on it!!!
One of my patients, have a spastic gait. What I mean by that in specific is, the patient is able to do hip and knee flexion in supine position, but when he bears weight on that limb while standing or walking, he is not able to do the hip knee flexion dissociation. I've been giving closed kinematic activities, but I'm not sure I'm going in the right direction. Been few days but no change. Could you guide me as to what in particular can be done for a stroke patient with poor to moderate dynamic balance?
I can do the last activity without holding on a stool...just a bit tiresome on my affected left foot but I can feel the strength it develops on that part...my knee still hyperextends sometimes...just a bit more exercise!
Hi Christian, I am so glad to hear this exercise is helping! Keep it up. The more you do this (stop just before the knee wants to pop back), the more control you will regain :)
@@rehabhqofficial 😮
Yeahhh!!!
Can you make a walking with crutches please
Mam, my problem is rheumatoid arthritis. My knee also has the same problem. Will this work?
thank you for this video ! could you plz make a video how can i flex my knee upto full normal rang?? i can,t flex my knee more than 70 degree
Here are 2 videos I recommend: ua-cam.com/video/vhWe_cMtsG8/v-deo.html, and: ua-cam.com/video/_Q8LOS6Yv60/v-deo.html
@@rehabhqofficial thank you again !
My knees hyperextend, I didn't have had any stroke, or any major injury, what could be the reason for this?.. I'm just 15 years old🤨
Hello Dr, i am suffering from cerebellum ataxia for the last 2 yrs. Now I found my left leg fixed in ground. Which exercise I will follow.
Hello mam

Where do we get the blue strap
Hello, Do you have any other office besides Enfield?
I’ve been doing this at my physicla therpay for months with little to no progress any tips?
I haven't even ever had a stroke but she is so damned cute I watch all her videos anyway lol
Can you please tell me why the glutes go up trying to flex the knee in prone lying position
I can't knee bend when walking.please do a vdo
Where can you get the strap I can't find it?
My problem is that my left knee will fold from under me. I don't know if this is called "trick knee".
I also lack a knee jerk reflex. When seated I can lift my right leg (foot) off the floor and slowly raise it and move it forward while being able to hold it steady in any position. No such luck with my left leg. I can not lift it. If I lift it with my hands and let go it will plop right back. None of many doctors and specialist I saw knows what is going on. X-rays, MRIs, and nerve conductivity study show nothing wrong.
Hello, can l know the way of walking normal without using something?
Thanks
Regard.
I’m not able to slide the foot down the incline.
Or when I’m lying on my stomach I can’t bend the knee and bring foot up.
I can raise the whole leg.
how can v progress from crouch position ? i mean how can we extend the knee without hyperextending it ?
And when i sit down am afraid to put pressure an my knee because am afraid it might give out.... An nw my other knee is arching me because of two much pressure.
I'm dealing with this and I'm not sure how to work the knee by myself safely. Walking is a problem, and the knee is getting better, but snail pace is fitting for how it's going.. how do i speed it up?
How do i find the links
