Yoga gently improves balance, strength and posture. All of these help you walk.

@barbaradascalos4411 2 года назад

Great for normal people but if you have brain damage from ms..stroke.. parkinson's. Then you need neuro rehab to overcome things like abnormal synergy patterns and Disassociation..and the real killer Spasticity. Neuro Rehab are Dr.s Yoga teachers are not

Neuro Rehab therapists are Dr.s Yoga teachers are not. Rehab hq on youtube has examples. Brain damage from ms or stroke means you have to literally learn how to walk again..don't think yoga teachers know how to do this.

Thank you Doc for sharing your knowledge! I’ve worried that I started on a rolling walker too early. I enjoy every morning in a local park using my walker.

What do you mean by you're worried that you've started it too early?

@andrewreisinger6860 2 года назад

MS is such a fascinating and frustrating disease. I've had it for 30 years. I'm at an EDSS of approximately 6.5. My walking ability changes not only day to day, but sometimes hour to hour. I could have significant foot drop/leg drag one moment, and have it improve quite a bit within a few hours. This is WITHOUT any change in fatigue or heat levels.

Try Dalfampridine

@janicestuerzl6976 2 года назад

I have long standing MS. For winter, Clark’s Cloudsteppers are absolutely my best shoes. During the summer, I wear Trotters memory foam sandals with adjustable straps exclusively.

@dr.froghopper6711 2 года назад

Use it or lose it! My absolute best exercise is getting outside in my garden and getting busy just like I’m absolutely normal. I don’t get stupid about it and I try to maximize my results from a minimum of effort. You have to plan what you’re going to do. But this minimizes mistakes too, not a bad outcome.

This video couldnt come at better time!!! I just did bloodwork/creatinine clearance urine test so i can start amprya. I am just praying my insurance approves it. I miss walking! Walking was my jam! Such a stress reliever and sooo healthy. for Shoes: I have brooks My feet have always hurt and since I switched from sketchers/Nike to brooks no more feet pain. Incredibly expensive but worth every penny ladies. They are cute like sketchers lol I just asked my neuro if I should get a wheelchair. He said don't do it- he's afraid I will see how much easier it really would be and that I will depend on it. I told him I'm being left behind and can't do activities with my family. Then he suggested ampyra. I heard ampyra is life changing for 50% of the people who try it and the other 50% it doesn't help at all

@Sharla1213 2 года назад

Love my Saucony runners with AFO they are made for orthotics going up one size allows me to fit my giant AFO in. They are Saucony Echelon xt-900. Really wide foot bed and amazing support. Just have to make sure the laces are very loose and I can get it in there with a shoehorn.

@desiredecove5815 2 года назад

Definitely sharing this awesome video Dr Beabs❤️💪🏻 I’m pushing the movin n groovin in our group- a little movement builds up. I do think PT is underused in MS. I try anytime I have issues- reassessing myself- could there be a PT movement I could use to help? Excellent education. #Sharingiscaring

@MsCmeehan 2 года назад

Dalfampridine really helps my walking speed. Without it I’m like the energizer bunny slightly before stopping. Keen shoes last a really long time, though expensive, are my favorites. Though the newer ones of canvas and other non leather definitely don’t last as long.

@yesl9893 2 года назад

Dr B thanks all you for education on MS and both medical and lifestyle remediations. While I am not unhappy with own Neurologist she isn’t a teacher and a coach like I think of you. Keep posting thoughtful trends on this topic. I have been so far spared from the worst consequences after being diagnosed 12 years ago with relapsing/remitting MS and I intend to keep my physical health as good as possible. Your channel helps!

SHOES!!! I worked as a manager in a better quality euro comfort shoe store for 12 years before I had to stop working because of my worsening MS. Another great brand of shoes is ECCO. At the time I retired some styles of ECCO shoes were accepted by the American Podiatric Association for foot health. Generally speaking it pays to spend a little extra on your footwear. Clark's for men run around $125 and ECCO is a little more at $150-$200 (these usually are comfort/casual style shoes). As for athletic shoes New Balance has some excellent walking/running styles. More expensive shoes are usually better quality and will outlast cheaper shoes as well. Bear in mind, I'm talking about MEN'S shoes here, but ECCO and Clark's make fine ladies footwear too. Poor quality shoes are a pet peeve of mine!

@DrBrandonBeaber 2 года назад

Thanks. Clarks is actually cheaper than a lot of other brands for men's formal shoes. I would consider 90% of men's formal shoes to be completely unwearable.

I would suggest the Mollii Suit! It improves many symptoms in MS. My girlfriend tried it last week and she was much more stable, could walk better and she was pain free! Now we just need to find a way to pay for the suit as it's pretty expensive!

@andrewreisinger6860 2 года назад

Even though I've had no noticeable improvement in walking speed with Ampyra, I still take it for the benefit of its ability to help with nerve conduction in the brain. I may be wrong, but I experience no side effects and it's worth a shot just to "cool off" my brain.

@donnabolt5847 2 года назад

@nswim2754 2 года назад

Clark’s also makes great shoes for women. I wore them for years in a professional setting, and they are great for traveling too. I recently got a Campbell walking stick for when I walk for exercise outdoors. It improves my posture over the cane that I use in other circumstances.

@lauracarlson9260 2 года назад

My PT recommended a "rocker sole" and Dansko has Mary Jane shoes suitable for the office. Can be pricey but I found on ebay for a reasonable price and they look fine with slacks or skirts

Everyone convinced me to get Danskos when I was a 3rd year medical student, but I hated them. Your mileage may vary.

@wadejensik651 2 года назад

Hello… thanks Doc! Iv had some great luck with ON Cloud shoes they offer light weight shoes for running that offer the support and quality of a shoe thats extremely light weight. I ordered several pair that all are a bit different in weight that are 8oz to under 8oz they are amazing. The cloudboom echo are just amazing. They also have different heal to toe angles to defiantly help dragging a toe. Hope you all get the result I did. They weren’t designed for MS in mind but they sure fit the bill. They are a bit pricy but well worth every penny. Give them a try you will be glad you did. Compare the shoes to find the lightest they offer, thats what I did and again im really happy with the results!! Good luck.

@rawsomehappy 2 года назад

Wearing a brace, using a cane, etc without addressing the muscle imbalances will give you freedom from pain and better movement- but won’t correct the muscle deficiencies. These impairments will worsen over time leading to more assistive devices which further weaken the muscles, worsens balance, and throws off stability JMHO
