This is so on target for me. This has never been addressed in 13 years of pt. Thank-You! Tara

@robb4732 Год назад

Same here! I paid thousands of dollars out of pocket for PT to resolve this very issue!

@Leon-li3yj Год назад

Thank you for explaining all and especially for telling people not to have wheels on those tables. I have been there and it's so scary for some of us.

@arjunshahu2245 Год назад

Thank you so much Dr Tara Tobias for giving me a hint for recalibration of my midline.

Hi doc thats what i feel now

@robb4732 Год назад

Thank you Tara, excellent and most helpful video! I am a rightsider and I've actually been working on balance issues in the gym. I will begin to incorporate some of these excellent exercises into my routine tomorrow, I am very excited at the crossed feet exercise and I know I will get a great bump on the heart rate from that one!

@robb4732 Год назад

Tara, I started incorporating your ideas and exercises into my gym routine today. I always had a discomfort with standing balance in open areas. Your tip of finding a vertical reference, door, window, Etc, was something I had never thought of and it works brilliantly for me. I discovered there is virtually always a window, or a door, or a pole, or something to provide me a midline reference. And it gives me a midline awareness and balance that is much improved in the situations. Thank you for that, much of stroke recovery does indeed come down to mental awareness and confidence. What you are doing and your knowledge and skill are more valuable and appreciated then you will ever know.

@ernestreid9296 Год назад

This is great. But for it to work you also have to have good posture. If you are leaning forward all the time you cant orient your body right to left. I am sure you discussed proper posture in previous videos'. I remember when I was bent forward all the time, I always leaned right to my strong side. Once I straightened my self out my BOWELS and BLADDER worked better.

@jonas33428 Год назад

Hey, do you have any videos on the rehab of periostitis?

@elizabethrash7370 Год назад

Thank you! As you replied to @tina liepo, determining root cause is important. How do I know if my tendency to lean to the left is due to right sided weakness or visual-spatial deficits (or both 🤣). I only know I’m off center if I’m looking in a mirror and then I feel as if I have to over-correct to find mid-line. As always terrific video. 😊

@rehabhqofficial Год назад

Great question! Most people will watch this video and relate to how I am describing how it feels to have someone telling you to "get centered". However, it typically requires a PT evaluation. There are specific tests that we use for this. :)

I have vision loss from stroke. A couple times I would look up and suddenly I'm falling backwards

@mrstevek118 4 месяца назад

My hips are way out to the side. Not over my center

@linamora9169 Год назад

Hi Dr. Tobias I had 3 strokes and fall continously. I stand with my AFO about 4 times a week and the other 3 days I stand without my AFO. Is this okay or should I just stand with my AFO on? I constantly fall and don't even walk yet. Can you imagine what will happen when I do walk?

@kvietimas Год назад

I have been working with a left hemi patient, and orientation towards midline is a major component of regaining that symmetry. However, though she is shifting weight on Right leg when standing, her upper body leans towards the weaker Left side. Therefore, not sure how sitting on the mat and further leaning to the left would help🤔

@rehabhqofficial Год назад

it is important to figure out the root cause of why they position the body and/or move into a position in an atypical manner. Once you figure that out, it is easier to develop a plan. Ie: Not every person who has a lesion on the right side of the brain has midline orientation impairment. Pusher syndrome is also associated with individuals who have a lesion on the right side which the plan for that would be completely different. Someone may also have insecurity/lack of trust moving/engaging the left arm and leg. This must also be considered. So many different scenerios are possible and must be considered to develop an appropriate plan. I hope that helps!

@Rehab HQ thank you. So true! Each stroke case is unique and could be different from one another.
