Stroke Exercise: Fix the foot and ankle

I see no links ?’ I wear my Afo every moment of lo day.can’t walk withoute

I had a stroke in 2019; so I have Spasticity in my left foot; AFO braces will help?

Is there a way of telling if I had a stroke while i was young? I have trouble picking up my right foot/toes and I'm prone to ankle sprains as well. I'm 36 now but I've had these problems since at least age 12. Now I have lots of numbness and my glutes barely contract on the right side too.

These are great videos. So helpful. Thank you!!

I’m having my husband who is 6 months post stroke do these. Thank you!

You have brain cancer. I wear large brace thats foot (r) down, is there anything do?

I am Christie. 30 years I have a stroke --- right-sided paralysis + aphasia. Some unavoidable reasons I had... Now I am free to do my stroke. Is it too late? I am 65 yrs. old.

Usually strokes bring on white matter disease that cause the same problems, not sure if this will help that or not.

Thanks! I need ur videos bcoz of my stroke.they could help me now.

If their is no night splint ,will casting to dorsiflex foot help?

Mmmmmmmmmmm

Hello Tara, first i wanna thank you for all the good information.I have do the excercises for spasticity for a week, but it seems to get worse, it this normal?

Thank you,DrTobias! I'm so glad i found your channel!🙏

How many reps? I have been diagnosed with runners dystonia and it’s really hard to walk

I m a dentist recently had a stroke and hemiplegia but i m able to walk but i feel a little bit of jerk on my hip and leg while walking plz help how to improve on that

Great info! Definitely addresses my issues!

I never had any heart issues, played squash for 20 years and went to Gym. But I coue not walk on my right toe almost 20 years or more. Left is Ok. Had both knees replaced, had back surgery. But why I could not do this before the surgery and even after surgery. Neurologist says frozen hamstring ?? Is there any thing at 70 for me , I have balancing problem and use stick to walk and seeing an Osteopath. Any offers i am in Montreal Canada. Lots of pain in my right calf and buttocks.

what about fixing pronation?

My problem is that my left side foot pulls to the inside

I have had mild ligamentous laxity my whole life. I am sure it triggered my supination after the stroke. If I press on one spot on the top of my foot, everything just instantaneously snaps into place. So, there can be different causes for these maladies. So far, I am finding out that orthopedists are not good diagnostitions for stroke problems (tendon transplant is their mantra), most PTs do not have your knowledge, and AFO's are painful and not curatively corrective in my case. Lead the charge for better care for those who fit outside the box.

yes I've been subscribed for a while, my afo is hinged and I have a light carbon composite that is supposed to assist my ankle in springingup

I truely hope you tube has seen fit to monetize your channel, you are definitely are apositive.

Where is the link for stretching mechanism?

Hi Doctor, got your advice for food inverting after Stroke. Rrt. Food

Can you please put a link for the Eskimo in the flyer for the shoe? Thank you.

You described my symptoms exactly. Ankle rolls ,I step and lose balance. The issue you didn't cover was how to strengthen a weak ankle. I'm going to search some of your other videos. I haven't fallen in about three years but I've come close and its always the ankle supination. Thanks for your videos they are far and away the best on you tube. I don't wear my brace because I don't want my ankle to get weaker as I depend on the brace more and more. My toes curl a lot too. Some days less than others and I've found I can "walk that off" usually.

Hi had a stroke. And I was wondering how to get the stinging to stop

My husband had a left brain stroke 3weeks ago. This has been the best rehab you tube video I've found. He still has another week in rehab and I want to be ready for him when he comes home. Thank you!

😊👍

Thanks

Old video so I don't know of anyone will see the comment by now but thanks for this detail and my question is about at all that rolls over and makes me fall forward. I have the spastic ankle and foot as you described but this issue seems to be from a very weak big toe that does flops over forward and makes me trip lose my balance. In a shoe it does not do that much at all but at home I have to walk barefoot even a few minutes a day and that's when it happens. Sorry for the long,

I had an ischemic stroke when I was 38 years old and I was bedridden for months now I'm proud to say that I can walk without an assistive device outside, I drive, I go to the mailbox... no it doesn't look "normal" but I couldn't even sit up in the beginning! I had to learn EVERYTHING
all over again and your videos helped me so much!!! It will be 2 years on Valentine's Day and I live by myself now and I can make my own food and everything now I don't have a Mobility Scooter or a walker anymore! I used to have assistance to transfer to a wheelchair and have somebody stay here with me all the time for meals etc... I came so far because of you!! Watching your videos made me never give up! I never settled for what happened to me...I'm still tryin to improve every single day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Seriously.

Y0ur v channel has help me regain my balance. Thank you. My dog watches over me alot. She does what is called leading. She leads me and frce me to walk. She helps me with balance.

Hi Tara thanks so much for all the info I very much appreciate it! I had my first stroke when I was 26 and I was left hemiplegic but I could walk ( with a limp) and I was able to talk normally. When I was 47 I had a second stroke but I could still walk (with a limp) and talk (normally). In May 2020 I had a third stroke and it affected my gait and my speech. I am 59 now and wheelchair bound. I know I will walk again but I need to find a way to bare weight on my left side. I stand up for 30 minutes every morning and then I do exercise for about 2 hours with some resistance bands. Should I be taking off my AFO?

I had c6 SCI. I have hips turn IN plus spasticity in calves and then feet and ankles... what do i do here?

Im 2 months after stroke left side the VA has not been much if any help most of my help has been from you thanks so much

I suffered a stroke in 2014 my left foot is turned inwards in 2022 I had TKR on right knee due to bone on bone the weakness on my left side my Right knee is not healing the way it should

I had a foot injury almost 3 years ago. This video should help😁

Thank you for all you do

I wear my AFO when I wake up and walk around in the house, it’s articulated, but I don’t feel much of a stretch when I stand on the wedge.

I am not a stroke victim, but I have TBI from multiple car accidents and falling on my head as a child.
My toes curl in spasms at night sometimes and my feet want to bend down in half. Plus I walk on the outside of my feet. Is this what you are talking about?
