Parkinson's... My sister was diagnosed 4 years ago. She began going to the gym, was doing well, but stopped. Within a few months, she needed a walker, she kept falling, her feet not responding to catch balance. Now, she's chair bound all the time, has a live-in aide. I've another friend with Parkinson's who was diagnosed well over 10 years ago. Every day he works hard around his property, cutting, splitting, stacking firewood. He builds things, sheds, structures, hauls stone and puts in his downhill driveway to prevent washout. He works hard, every day. He is a musician, he has a studio, spends his nights recording his own songs and songs of friends. In the past few months, he has lost the ability to sing and play an instrument at the same time, but he knows how to recruit friends to back him up. He is fearless. Two weeks ago, he hiked 38 miles of the Appalachian Trail, full overnight pack, in Pennsylvania.... it is quite rocky in places. His gait is somewhat compromised, and his speach is slurred... but he pushes on, stays active, and as vigorous as possible. He inspires me.

I should have brought a couple of the snakes in a plane back with me to the yard. But even then they likely would have slithered past my uneven gates. Thanks to this video I will have that fixed. But that's not exactly a walk in the park & sons keep asking "are we yet there" but I think what they meant was "are we there yet". I really should not have pushed them to walk before their time.

@generalnguyenngocloan1700 3 года назад

Swing your arms evenly. What can help is to lead with your shoulders first, then yours arms will follow. By leading with your shoulders, your spine will have a slight twisting movement, lubricating and nourishing your discs. Try it.🚶🏻‍♀️👍

@rosannazink9140 3 года назад

thank you general. would this lubrication of the discs restore some height lost in the process of getting to my eight decade?

@generalnguyenngocloan1700 3 года назад

@@rosannazink9140, It can help to restore or prevent further height loss. You don’t have to “overdo” the twist. A slight twist is enough. Also, on your daily walks, try to put a slight lift upward from the balls of your feet with each step to achieve a small “bounce” in your step. You don’t want to walk flat footed with no bounce where you place your heal down and do not lift up slightly onto the balls of your feet. This movement is probably more difficult than just the arm swinging because you have to put a lot more energy into it and it’s more fatiguing when you are new with it. Your calf muscles will get exercised for sure. It’s difficult to do this because we can get lazy and forget to add this part of your walk. I’ve forgotten this part many times because if your back hurts, you will naturally want to avoid this and gradually leave it out. If your back hurts, just do a slighter rise up on the balls of your feet, but at least try to engage your calf muscles.👍

In my 30s learning standing “cross crawl” was the ticket for me to learning to balance the left & right hemispheres of my brain. I was learning flamenco dance at the same time and went from acting like I had 2 left feet to having my feet fluidly know exactly when and where my feet were to go merely by focusing my listening to the music. Two speech therapists in the “brain gym” class shared how astounded they were in their young clients’ speech when the first dud cross crawl exercises. We are definite believers.

In the early ‘60s I was a child with reading problems, now known as dyslexia. My folks did everything they could to teach me to read. I was like a lab animal going from specialist to specialist. Many were not just doctors specializing in this or that, but researchers, researching this and that. They researched my eyes, my balance, my blood chemistry, my hearing, and certainly my sanity. They never found a cure. I eventually taught myself how to read at 24. I remember if Physician mad me do crawling exercises that emphasized looking at my forward hand and crawling with good and exaggerated form. They were humiliating. Had I done them better, longer, or more often perhaps they would have helped or perhaps they did help but slowly.

Thank you again for all the great information. I've seen and enjoyed many of your videos and enjoyed each and every one including 'Best EXERCISE for you?' Love em all. Keep up the amazing work. *62 year old male and following your direction and advice since beginning of last August I'm down from 325lbs + (my scale wouldn't read any higher = 'Error' reading) to 279.2lbs as of yesterday. Feeling much better in so many areas. Too many to list. Continuing the journey to a higher quality and more enjoyable life.

Excellent information, thank you, dementia is such a big problem now, having knowledge of preventatives is great. I have also heard a proper walking gait being a mechanical means to pump the fluid around the lymphatic system.

@ProctorsGamble 2 года назад

I became aware of this years ago when my brother’s doctor noticed it in him and suspected Parkinsons. It turned out not to be but I started noticing my own gait and that I would sometimes walk with my arms crossed or that one arm swings more than the other. Going to pay more attention now for sure.

@susannunemaker4262 2 года назад

Thanks so much. I remember seeing this in my father who had dementia. I remember my mother telling him to stop shuffling and to pick up his feet. This happened before any of us saw signs of dementia.

Thank you so much, this is fantastic to know, and been enjoying your videos for nearly 2 years now. I've been practising a new technique called "bio-tuning", brainwaves soundtracks listened to on quality headphones (60 ohms) daily, and there is a sound table to accompany as well. I've been practising and studying with Dr. Jeffrey Thompson for 1+1/2 years now, and I truly enjoy the results. Meditative, relaxing and peaceful. One cd specifically named "Beyond" is one of many of his CDs to take note of. Looking forward!

I use gait in daily life. For me, focused detail oriented minds, vs, big picture long term thinking, is indicated in the swing or lack of on one side. Works 89% of the time.

@lynnhayes2363 2 года назад

My Mom had a "lateral" gait at least 20 YEARS before she started showing signs of dementia. Tried for all that time to get her to pay attention. Always worried about it, nice to know that my focus is a good idea.

@laurieparis2203 2 года назад

What is a lateral gait?

@lynnhayes2363 2 года назад

@@laurieparis2203 That's when the arm and leg on the same side swing together. In horses, it's called a "pace" instead of a "trot". For a person, it can really mess w your ability to maintain proper balance at a walk.

@dylanrobinson7836 2 года назад

Individuals that carry firearms professionally will very often have a single arm swing gait change. Their dominant or weapon hand will not swing or swing less often. Something to keep in mind while processing this information, life style can build neutral pathways. Generally if I see someone 45 and under with a single arm swing in their gait and no other visible abnormalities, they are mentally marked for someone with professional firearms training.

@izzy9132 2 года назад

68 year old woman now some what frightened but this too shall pass. Noticed right arm swinging much more during intense daily walking. Thought how strange but as I am dyspraxic I became accustomed to many peculiarities both physically and mentally long ago. The good news is I am "An exception to the rule" sort of person and have fought against this brain difference my entire life. When one of my feet couldn't take the walking and avoiding surgery I simply returned to cycling but now upright.All my life I have had contempt for old people who just give up and let age overtake them like all but one in my extended family. Now I'm the second and full steam ahead. Funny thing is I am in much better over all condition than nearly all my contemporaries because of my tenacity. They continue to wonder why I am constantly challenging the affects of aging rather than rolling with it. In a way I have my lifelong frustrating brain abnormality to thank for my drive. So far so good. Mind body and spirit.

@johantrenier1685 2 года назад

Had a hemorrhagic stroke 5 years ago. To create new movement patterns you have to focus to do it. I have had to work at maintaining my gait when walking for exercise. My wife will let me know about my posture as well. I'm 59.

Mind blowing, my mom had dementia she would shuffle her feet, she was clumsy, she would fall alot. All of this started happening I'd say 12 years before we knew about the dementia. But. Even to this day I did not realize that the shuffling, clumsiness, and falling had to do with the dementia 🤯

@grandmajane2593 2 года назад

Mine too! I think the falling was because of her eyesight. When she had to go to the nursing home because of the uncontrollable dementia, they kept her in a chair so she didn't fall anymore. Wish someone had fixed her cataracts, it might have made a difference.

curiously I have a family member, an older adult, who lives with autism spectrum disorder. He does the walking that you indicated. Stiff as a board. He's always been bright but has difficulty understanding certain things. During covid, the changes in his environment caused his mental health to decline. While it's now improving, I noticed a decline in his memory. He would forget total conversations. I didn't know if it was the medications he was taking or if it was his mental health and information and stress overload. It would be interesting to get him involved with a physiotherapist who can focus on his gait.

@gweno9901 2 года назад

Thank you for your videos. I have just decided to go back to using a back pack style handbag (or purse as you say in the states). A cross body bag might be an option as well for the summer or less casual occasions. Having a handbag, especially a heavy one, on one shoulder is not great anyway, but I have decided I need to leave my arms free to paractice swinging my arms. Thank you!

My father has just been diagnosed with dementia. He’s had walking problems for about 2 or 3 years now. We just though he had a problem with his hips, as he can no longer take a long step or stride. More of a shuffle like the older gentleman in you video, and he doesn’t have the arm swing at all anymore. He used to be a soldier (23 years service) and I remember all the marches and military parades where they would all swing their arms and March in time. It’s such a shock sometimes seeing him now, he’s 74 but seems 94. I wish I had known about this earlier. I will be watching family and friends and also observe myself and be mindful to move my arms when walking. Thank you

I am so glad I found this information. I am 52 but I’ve noticed that I am becoming uncoordinated and losing my balance a lot. I was diagnosed with vertigo. I will pay more attention to the arm swing It might help with the unsteadiness.

@jesshothersall Год назад

Unsteadiness can also be helped by practicing just standing on one leg. You can do it at home, or even in a queue in a supermarket. My sister lost all hearing in one ear due to a virus, leaving her balance all over the place, (for a year) but after several weeks of practice in a balance class for the elderly (she was in her 50's and the baby of the class), initially just a few seconds at a time, eventually she was able to balance on top of one of those balance balls (on both legs on the ball), but on one leg easily on the ground. Do it in the shower too, when you wash your feet, it really does make a difference! Please try it?

I try to walk 7-8km every day and am still working full time (am not young) in a mentally challenging role. I have been fascinated to watch young people walking along hunched over their phone engrossed in their activity to te point where they would walk into me, unless I stepped out of their way or said something. It seems they might be well on the way to dementia coupled with poor hearing (hearing loss is a function of volume level and temporal exposure).
