Thanks. some good stuff. Too bad Saebo seems impossible to get in New Zealand. It could be nice to have little sessions you could just do and group into a personal playlist for 5-10-15 min sessions

Great video, Just what I needed. Do you have similar videos for leg exercises?
Yes we do! Check out these videos ua-cam.com/video/CEHgViLbDx0/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/iHBJ0f0C2uo/v-deo.html
I've found patients with a lot of tone in their hand having a hard time keeping the fingers extended during weight bearing activities but with the SaeboStretch on it's worked great! We just unstrap the forearm & wrist straps, keeping only the hand/finger straps in place, then resting the hand at the edge of a table so the thumb can rest off comfortably. Thanks for the stretching video! Great education!
Julie, thanks for the insight. Feel free to send a video of you using it this way; just follow the link below. It'd be great for all the therapists around the world to know the versatility of the SaeboStretch and this technique. - Dr Scott. 😀 share.hsforms.com/1VaAoqhcKRiCG0qkH1H1lmg393fx

You are so welcome!
First i want to say thank you. The right hand is faced down and I have shoulder pain, how can I do these stretches? And your products dont ship to China
The biggest hurdle to recovery sounds like its going to be stretching your hand and getting a daily stretching routine. If these stretches are not right for you, at this time, we recommend you talk to a therapist for more guidance. As for Saebo products in China, please contact you local representative for more help.

Is there a brace that will help straighten my fingers out??
Hi Kenny, the SaeboStretch is a novel splint uses a revolutionary stretch technology, which allows the fingers to move through flexion caused by associated reactions and increased tone. Following relaxation, the fingers gradually return to the desired resting position. Learn more about the SaeboStretch here, www.saebo.com/shop/saebostretch/
Question :- will i gain strength to my arms will spasticity go away ido physical exercise with weight cuff now its recoveing from it
Spasticity is a typical part of neurological, and especially of, stroke recovery. As you use your arm and hand your spasticity level will vary, which is why it's important to work with a professional who can guide you and change your routine as your spasticity changes. Ultimately, you want to work on control of the correct muscles and the ability to turn them on and turn them off at will. This is the amazing factor that comes from using our SaeboFlex, SaeboReach, SaeboGlove, and SaeboMAS/mini products. They all work on spasticity in a different way, helping you gain control of your muscles and lowering your spasticity/tone. - Dr Scott, OTD
Hi my finger cords are standing proud these stop me straighten my wedding ring finger middle finger muddle finger and little finger how do i get these to relax please i us my saebo stretch Thanks in advance :-)
Carol, I'd have to see you in person to give that advice as this sounds a little more complex. Have you tried calling our toll-free number and speaking with a product specialist? 888-284-5433. Or you can contact us via our customer support ticket. Here's the link. support.saebo.com/knowledge/kb-tickets/new. I look forward to helping you. - Dr Scott
What if there’s no movement on the arm...? What can be done to start to get movement?.
Milton, right off the bat, I'd say NMES e-stim, SES e-stim and our SaeboMAS mini. NMES will contract the muscles and help with nerve conduction/volitional training; you can get this from our SaeboStim Pro and SaeboStim One. SES will help with all things sensory and cortical priming and rewiring, which you can get from our SaeboStim Micro, and one 30-minute program on the SaeboStim Pro. As for our SaeboMAS mini, it supports your arm, which decreases spasticity in the entire arm, and also allows you to move with minimal effort. So, you might be able to move your arm, but your muscles are so weak, the weight of your arm is holding you back.
I hope that helps! - Dr. Scott
I got stroke 1 and half month back .My left hand and leg was paralyzed. Now I am able to walk with support and my shoulder movement and elbow movement have come in one month only but from last 15 days I m trying for wrist and fingers( release) but it is not coming whether it will be cure or not kindly guide me
Well, frustration is definitely a common reaction to this, but if you look at the brain, the largest part of your motor cortex is taken up by the hand. The hand is the hardest thing to get control of because it's how we engage with our world and uses so much brain power to control it. It uses the same amount, if not more, as your entire leg and foot require. Keep working hard. Keep telling yourself you can do it. From a clinical standpoint, adding in electrical stimulation usually boosts your recovery time, so definitely look into this as well. Our SaeboStim Pro (www.saebo.com/shop/saebostim-pro/ ) might be the right product for your recovery. - Dr Scott
Thank you so much. My thumb can't be up and straight. Great info.
Glad you liked them. Keep up the hard, but great work! - Dr Scott
I'm having a hard time with my thumb ...any suggestions
In this video I spend a good amount of time explaining how to get the thumb out and how to stretch it. I included the time stamps in the description, so please review this and attempt to follow the instructions. You may have limited flexibility in your thumb so your results may be different than those I show on camera. Follow the instructions of opening the hand, isolating the thumb, and stretching for at least 2x/day until the muscles relax, should give you some results to build upon. Keep up the consistent work and you're guaranteed to succeed. - Dr. Scott, OTD
Already 9 months completed Sir...
Don't give up!
I have small Amount of spasticity because spine deformity now my surgery is complete will the spasticity recover from it I need fast response please
Shamil, I'm sorry to hear that you required back surgery. I do hope you will recover. I cannot tell you if the spasticity will decrease as I am not your therapist and do not have the information I need to offer a professional opinion. I would consult with the health professionals you are working with and have them help guide you in your recovery. Best of luck! - Dr Scott

hi i cnt move my hand in upper arm
If that is the case, I would definitely make sure you seek professional help for your rehabilitation. In the meantime, I would suggest any of our electrical stimulation devices as they can cause muscle contractions and help with neuro connectivity. I wish you the best. - Dr Scott
💎💎👍👍👍
How many years take to recovery... For me wrist down and fingers need to open Sir...
There's no rule of thumb for this one...it's different for everyone. But I can say that it depends on what your life is like, how much effort you put into the recovery, your support group, your attitude, and where you are starting from. I always tell my clients one thing, "If you see movement, you can improve!"

I clench so hard that I have broken two braces
Belinda, if you have broken braces, I would guess they were not meant for high tone, or the dynamic nature of tone, as you describe. We would recommend you try our SaeboFlex (www.saebo.com/shop/saeboflex/) and SaeboStretch (www.saebo.com/shop/saebostretch/). This helps you get control of using your hand and reducing your spasticity. -Dr Scott
i got an accident since 3months
If you have no movement, yet, then I would look into several products to help you get started on your movement. SaeboStim Micro, SaeboStim Pro, SaeboStim One, Saebo Mirror Box, and SaeboMind. I hope this helps. Please check out our playlists for lots of info on these products. - Dr Scott
