You made me chuckle the second you said getting in the car and that leg swoosh out.. That’s me!!

@virtuosoproductions4589 2 года назад

Strange. I did some of these exercises in early stages of recovery without a guidance from any therapist. Understanding the forces, both static and dynamic, helped a lot. Sit and stand helped too.

I love stepping up and down. First I started with holding onto a heavy chair, and now I can step up and down without holding onto anything. Repetition is the key. I do this activity at least 50 times every day , and keep telling myself : " I am building those neuro pathways". Now curbs will not be a challenge anymore. 😀 Thank you so much for this video just as much as for all the other great videos.♥️

@darkodarkovic7827 2 года назад

Thanks for the new look at proper walking. I think the problem of my ankle flexion inhibits knee flexion and hip stretching, thus creating stiffness in gait. I will try to fix that with the exercises you have shown. I would stand out sitting exercise with a skateboard as great for hip extension and breaking the abnormal synergism of the extensor. Have a nice week

🌸💜🌸 Dear Dr. Tara, thank you very much for your super videos, which really shot me back to normal life. Now 3 years post stroke, the left leg is still giving me a funny walk and the left arm/hand is still only half working. It will never be the same as before, but I'm using every possibility for a nice stretch or reach. But with the help of you and my PT I am not any more constantly feeling handicapped or not able to live a normal life, but I now rather concentrate on my new online business, new friendships and new ways of activity. So, I am saying goodbye to the constant rehab life and hello to the new super charged life in a different but very fun and proud way. Thank you for everything Dr. Tara!Stay safe and say hello to Chico, Love, Nina 🌸💜🌸💜🌸💜🌸

@karenellis3886 2 года назад

I've watched a few videos and the exercises look helpful for leg spasticity,which I have after having a stroke 5 months ago. My problem is that I don't have trouble bending my knee, infact when my leg spasms , my big toe dorsiflexes and my knee will bring itself up touch my chest. It stays in that position until the spasm releases the quadricep muscle and allows me to force the leg to straighten out. These spasms happen without warning and mostly when I'm laying down and at night when trying to sleep. Also when walking I tend to circumduct my leg and lock my knee whenever my leg is fatigued. Is there any exercises that could help me with this problem?

@cha2117 2 года назад

I like these exercise but sitting and standing is really difficult and uncomfortable and causing pain and getting up I have one leg shorter than the other and the knee doesn't bend very well. I think sleeping at night is causing a lot of problems as I can't keep my leg in a good position but can't tell without somebody else checking it.
