Could you please provide advice when you are stuck inside during a pandemic and perhaps you are attempting to start getting your movement back alone.
For instance, how about can I use items around the house.
I'm guessing I can do this but it's nice to hear a professional suggest it, then just assume and do it.
Also, how many reps. How many times per day.
Good stuff guys. This can be really challenging to many stroke patients with hemiplegia. You mentioned the quality of movement, which is really think is important with the above the head activity. Not that I'm a big believer in the Bobath concept, but good shoulder stability and scapula mechanics are crucial to doing stuff in an open chain over head, which very few stroke patients are. Therefore I would not start of with stuff above the head, but first create humerus and scapula stability in positions where the patient is in less risk of rotator cuff impingement.
I think they mention that these exercises are for the higher level CVA (or maybe it was another video of theirs that said so.) Anyway, stability of the joints is always very important in the beginning. Maybe forever depending on the level of debility the CVA caused.
Good job ..both of you
my father had a stroke 15 days ago. His right side(hand and leg) is paralyzed and he can not speak. we are trying our best that he could recover as soon as possible. there is some movement in his leg but his hand is completely still. it would be very generous if you give some tips. And also how long it will take for him to walk again.
Thanks.

Thank you
i have seen that skinny bloke before behind you
Sir, Do you have any video how to relearn writing after stroke?
You can also use a speed bag for stroke rehab and CIT (Seattle Children's Hospital does this..). A speed bag can easily be adapted to use here. You don't have to stand up to hit it, it works perfectly well sitting down. You don't have to hit it like a boxer on three rebounds (repetitive punching from the front), you can use Five rebounds, or no rebounds. Just hit it, stop the bag, target the punch and hit it again. No matter what speed or power they have, the bag will move and they will see and hear the results instantly. You can work the biceps by doing reverse punching, (hitting the back of the bag and punching toward your face. Don't lean in and bag will not hit face. I have a video DVD "Rhythm and Rehab" to explain this. PM on yt or go to speedbagcentral - I'll send you guys the DVD. Your patients will LOVE it. ps: the auditory cueing of the repetitive bag beat can help entrain the sound with their movement. External auditory cueing has been found useful in stroke rehab. Great video, thanks for posting.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you
I had a stroke in 1972. My arm and hand is in flexed( not sure what to call it) mode. Fingers curled and arm bent. Is there an exercise to help straighten fingers to use them.
Great Video Daphne Cotton. PHYSICAL THERAPY THANKS YOU! ●Castano BROWN FAMILY.
Thank you guys.My Sister suffered a stroke in November 2014.She has come along way at rehab,and using the exercises you teach.The ''chair sitting and standing'' exercise really helped,as she is strong enough now to get up off her seat without my help.Where can I purchase those cones?I know you said you can use cups.The only plastic ones i have are red solo cups which are flat on the bottom.
Thank you!
Very informative thank you. My fine motor had not returned yet on my left hand. Will work also to perform stacking exercises
My mother had a stroke 4 Months ago..her left hand is fully weak..Can u give some tips to retain her hand strength...Pls pls
Had a TIA 3-14-15 am able to use my lower arm but am unable to lift my upper arm is there any other exercises I can do to get the movement and strength back in my upper arm
Would this exercise help with ataxia? My dad had a stroke and I have been told he has ataxia. His arm movements are very wide and fast. Is there any other exercises that you could suggest to help?
where can i buy the cones for this excise
Great videos and I really appreciate it. I'm a physical therapist also and as of now im handling a stroke patient which main problem was wrist and digit control. The rest of the UE strength was good already that patient can reach an object, but was unable to open the hands due to beginning spasticity of hand flexors. Patient is on 2nd month post stroke. I would appreciate greatly your suggestions. Thank you
physicaltherapyvideo Thank you i appreciate your reply.
Could you provide us with ideas when someone has flexor synergy pattern?
Thank you! I love your videos, you guys are great!!
I can’t pick up the cones because my hand doesn’t work
Yes , when your hand wont grip you cant move cones or anything from one side to the other

SIR please .. show me some excise for .... will get more extension power ....
Hello sir... Tell me some ideas to stimulate wrist and finger extension...
I have handslint. I am alone so getting arm and /or hand into these is a major effort.
It is easier to put on the splint if you sit up at a table, very close to the table with your affected arm very close to your side or against a wall. Or just roll your wheelchair up against the wall parallel to it to stabilize it, if you have a wheelchair. If you have peripheral vision issues on the affected side make sure you turn your head to that side when putting on the splint. It helps you see what your doing better. It is very difficult to put on a splint by yourself while in bed or sitting edge of bed. Best of luck to you and keep workinghard!
I a total "Leaner" now. I not notice, but PT ask me why I lean to left side in wheelchair... How we Learn to Not do that ?? I think I do because my body SO tired all time. I have Left side stroke in 2013. Then 3 more since, all Left side Stroke.... Effect speech and right side body.
This okay, I learn as I go. The whole Stoke thing a trick. I m glad you have video online for so many of us. Blessings.
Hi, Lisa. I'm an OT. Repetition of the exercises you have learned in OT, PT and Speech is very important because that is the only way the brain relearns that you still have a right side of your body. There have been studies showing you can get return up to 2 years, but I tell patients to keep up their exercise program because of the repetition needed to retrain the nervous system. It takes a long time for nerves to heal...and if/when they do it may be limited. Nothing is written in stone that movement will come back but it is almost guaranteed that if you do nothing you will become weaker, more tired, have an increased chance of contractures (a permanent tightness in the joint where you can't fully move the joint), increased pain, decreased ROM (range of motion) and hygiene/breakdown issues, especially around the web spaces of your right hand, making it smell "cheesy", which is really bacteria that can cause breakdown of the skin and, if left untreated or if poor or no hand hygiene is performed can cause painful ulcers. If you were given a splint by your OT follow his/her instructions for the wearing schedule that he/she gave you and watch for redness or pressure areas, which are an indication that the splint is not fitting well and may need to be adjusted. See your neurologist as she/he instructs. I really have hope for stem cell research and, if it has a good efficacy rate in the future, hope it can eventually become more available and affordable for people suffering from all types of diseases.
P.S. - By the way, it is great you can type and decipher words. Many people who have had strokes cannot even do that. I may ask them to write an "A" and it comes out like an R, or some other letter. It is great your can express yourself through writing. I am imagining it may be difficult to speak like you used to before the strokes, though.
thank you to post to me. I am so blessed I able write still. Me, who hate to think about cell phone text ha ha. But at least here I able to use full keyboard. Blessings.
Keep up the hard work! I will pray for you, too!
