"Frank" is working overtime to not laugh hysterically! Well done video, I'm currently doing a case study on "Frank" myself and this was so helpful. Thank you!
This man looks reasonably young- I'm surprised that someone so young could suffer a stroke! I also noticed a ring on his left hand, I hope he's recovering and his family are doing well.
This is just a demonstration, but my husband had a stroke at 27 in his left temporal lobe, so it can happen at young ages. While they don’t know the cause of his, some are born with a genetic predisposition (which they had to rule out). One of the causes is DVT in someone with a patent foramen ovale. In other words, someone could be taking birth control or have a genetic disorder causing too much clotting , develop a clot, and find out the hard way that they had a small hole still in their heart from embryonic development. The hole persists without any previous difficulty, because it wouldnt get in the way of your heart’s ability to pump blood, but it would provide a small communication between two chambers of your heart. In most people, a clot reaching the heart would cause a pulmonary embolism. But with a small hole, it would bypass the lungs and go straight to the brain, causing an embolism there instead. Other ways way are from genetic disorders such as Chiari malformation blocking blood flow if a herniation was caught in time, post-trauma, uncontrolled chronic hypertension or AFib. AFib is rarer in young individuals, but it can still happen from heart problem or drug use could cause it .
great job and thanks for showing stuff like this. im in my 3 year to gettin an occupational therapist and i really thank you for this video. i think there must be more videos something like this. wish you a wonderfull christmas time and all the best from Germany :-) bye
Bahaha!! "Frank what do we do first?" "Deep breath, yo, because I want to bust out laughing!!" I think if 'Frank' had a table that was higher such that he didn't have to lean over the table. This also might have supported his trunk such that he didn't have to focus so much on using his "affected" shoulder to elevate his "affected" arm. He had really really good wrist control, too, for having had a stroke! (That's complete sarcasm.) Get it, 'Frank!' and props for being such a convincing actor.
You want to be on the client's neglected left side instead, to increase attention and awareness/neck movements to the affected side, not on the stronger side, as to not reinforce inattention to the left
Hi! I've seen the good video. I'm a student in Occupational Therapy in Korea. But Korea has not yet been activated. I want to see more work therapy videos!
I do not think it is a role play, you can see Frank struggling with looking and functionality and the responses to questions. If this is acting, then he is a really great actor lol
Yes, I found the audio not good on this video too. I had my set at its highest, both on the video volume scale and on my laptop; but it was still faint!
Ngl I would be there and get so mad like how can you not look both way I would tell him look at my hand and slap the shit out of him like how how tell me how you can’t just roll your eyes I get mad at stuff like this lol I probably sound crazy
@@daisymesser2879 I tried something similar, knowing that part of visual field is dead. $1000 and MANY hours over 7 months. NO progress. When there is nothing else, we try anything.
You need to understand that the part of his brain that should make him act normal is not working. There is no point in being mad at someone like this. It’s like being mad at a dog for not meowing.
You basicaly just said "I would slap someone with broken legs so hard if he couldn't run!" Neurological problems are just as important and real as physical ones.
