New 46 year old stroke victim with left side weakness but no left arm control. Your channel really explains a great deal to me. I can still type good with my right. Thank you guys.

My stroke was one year ago. Videos like this have helped me get more results than the therapy I was given. The idea with the card board is spot on and so helpful. I'm the type of person who works off the concept of "why", I do so much better when I know why Im doing it that way.

Thank you i will do that every day ,i got stroke when was 1 year and 6 months old , the doctor said i will not talk or walk ,but my mom help me to train every 24 hours every day to get good life ,so now is my time to do rest of my training (Y)

Thank you guys! I like it that you are teaching home post stroke exercises. Continue to be a blessing to all stroke patients

I know that a lot of people ask so many questions about various things, but you guys need to know that you are helping millions of people. We love you guys, TRULY!

Thanks so much for sharing these ideas. I needed some new activities to encourage a stroke patient and help him see the progress he is making.

These are great! Very creative. I'm a student PT and I'll be at our free clinic today seeing a stroke patient and I've been trying to think of a creative way to work upper extremity. This gave me great ideas. Thank you

This is great video.it is helping me with my psw demo. thanks.

Thank you so so much Famous Bob & Brad. My brother just had a stroke and your videos will help him out tremendously since he doesn't have insurance.

Bob and brad, regarding taping the hand to a cup: I put on a rubber glove from my kitchen, gripped the cup and used tape to tape the glove loosely on the cup. I cut the glove short so that it was easy to slip on and off the hand. Easy to use over and over. My affected hand was the non dominant hand. I have a problem with spasticity, so this really helped me work on those stuck muscles.

Thank you for sharing this usefull exercise tips

Hi Sir, Thank you for showing us the vidoeo this would help my patient. I learned from your videos. thank you again!

Thank YOU!! Great video!!

Beautiful video thank you so much !

YES vision and neglect, than k you for mentioning that, so many don't understand that.

You, guys, are awesome!!! I am a Conductive Education practitioner. I can acknowledge and highly appreciate your contribution to the world society. I am quite certain that you help thousands of people. The only thing I want to mention (hopefully anybody can read that) quite a few conceptions mentioned by you, guy had been already well-known to the people behind the Iron Curtain a long while ago (you know... such as neuro-plasticity, advantage of the Can do attitude over the compensation..importance of feel of success.. that stuff). This is one of the evidences when a human brain can not be boxed up and demonstrates way more potential than it seems to have, contrary to the new era behavioral approach when the human behavior is presented on a basis of cause and effect, exactly like the mice that they run their experiments on.

Thank you so so much! It was very helpful.

I just had stroke. Thank you guys so much. I just opened my fork and knife cellophane wrapper .only left side affectedi

Bless you guys...my shoulder is quite stiff & pàinful now 1 year post stroke... Limited movement..will try this.

The tone and Spasticity has improved, but the weakness in my left hand will still NOT allow me to release a tennis ball to serve, let alone my blistering hot licks of "STAIRWAYS TO HEAVEN'...IS THE RAPHAEL YOUR PRODUCT, WHICH IF SO, CAN YOU WEIGH IN ON THE "SAEBO" LINE OF ANYTHING THAT COULD be HELPFUL, AND I CERTAINLY WOULD UNDERSTAND, BUT THE TWO OF YOU, HAVE GIVEN ME a grounded (sorry for the caps key-my right index finger has become a Tyrant...‼️ ) & ultimately POSSIBLE gift, of the return of my life...Having just found you both I look forward to the future- Thank You, Gentlemen, for your gifts...!

This is awesome my fiance had a traumatic brain in jury and ive been doing some basic ( coin in cup) and other makeshift activities for him. ill def be doing this one today!!! Thanks guys

Thank you!

These guys are great.

Great , helpful videos

Thank u so much

I shared your video to my acquaintance. Hopefully he will listen to this :)

These are good exes. Thanks.

Hi thank you for your video I use you technique for my dad arm and he is moving is arm more thank you very much

Brand new DPT here. Wanted to just hop in and say that my first impression of you two were that you were a bunch of old geezer PTs that taught too simple exercises that anybody could find in a protocol book. Then I realize that the PTs nowadays try to be to hip and use all these special techniques and movement screens etc... Sometimes I just need to look up a few simple things for patients, and have an actual hard to thinking about them without it seeming boring. You guys provide that resource for me, and I thank you, sometimes just gotta go back to the basics.

I love the fact that you are using materials that can be found at home rather than spending lots of money we don't have to buy equipment to use.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge so generously. One question... how to isolate the movement so that the person is using the shoulder as opposed to just rocking back and forth from the hips. I'm referring to the first few arm exercises demonstrated with the cardboard sling , peanut butter jar, ball with plastic cup movements.

You guys are heroes

Good ideas. Thank you!

Thanks a lot for these exercises Bon and Brad. How to prevent the hemiplegic hand coming and hanging in front of chest while standing and walking? Any advices pls..

Very helpful

You both rock Docs

I had brain surgery in January 2015 to remove as much tumor as they could- my left arm is still very much out of action, there is movement on the shoulder, can raise my arm but the hand is tight all the time so i'm one handed since 2015.. told it might never come back... this video is great for me . thank you both.

Thanks a lot for this great video. The PT just taught my mom to do the similar exercises last Friday. My lovely mom got stroke 7 months ago, can you make a video for some suggested exercises for foot drop also. Love from Hong Kong.

YOU ARE FANTASTIC!!!!!

Hi B&B like all ur videos. U both help me with a lot ofny home exercises list. Just to add one more idea I'm using for active exercise. I'm pushing my cabin luggage that has360• wheel on it from one room to another.

You're awesome!

This is very good 👍

THANK YOU for your time and for explaining. Much appreciated 👍

Thank you for great exercise that`s you guys show. The question is what is the name of the equipment with the pump. Please lets me know

I'll ask my husband to make these devices for me. My arm still hurts and still cannot do my chores comfortably. I have no access to a PT. this channel is very helpful to those who are in the same shoes as I am. God bless you both.

Thank you so much for making this video. I just watched it with my father who suffered from a stroke in April and we find it extremely helpful. If you can and have some time, can you suggest other videos that a patient can follow after a stroke for arm and leg recovery excercises ?

Thanks for this.

Thank u so much. I am waiting for outpatient OT, long waiting list. I feel helpless. Your videos can help me to do exercises myself. I cant afford hiring private OT

you guys rock.

Had non aschemetic stroke 2016 my left had is still frozen clammed fist or clawed fist not sure which is correct wording for it. Do you have exercises or something to help with this problem my right hand is fairly normal sometimes feels weak since I'm right handed also. Great job with video

What was so hard for me was getting controlled movements. My hand and arm COULD move, the problem was it moved at it's own volition, and I dropped and broke a lot of dishes, etc, because the hand would just open on it's own, or the arm would fling out unexpectedly. I've done most of my own physical therapy using therapists on youtube, like you all. Keep up the good work.

Wow! Thanks! I had my stroke in 1982, and I still have no movement on my right arm/hand (a little bit in my shoulder). I will definitely try this. 🙂

Bright ideas

My arm has just woken up 5 months after a stroke I’ll definitely be doing these exercises thank you

Thanks for this! Do you have a video on standing balance?

thank u

Handrobot is a good device for stroke exercise at home, my grandmother had hand dysfunction but recovery well now.

My biggest problem: when I do the back and forth with my arm-- only my elbow moves. The shoulder is still frozen.

Great videos, any exercise recommendations for the tennis elbow problem, thanks

hello, thank you very much. According to my understanding, the entire injured body is one unit. There is no separation. My method is circular movements thousands of times until the tension of the head, neck, arms, legs, and back is released, all circular movements thousands of times.

thks

Awesome

You guys are so handsome. My father had a stroke 5 years ago on February 26th, 2013. I was 16 years old and my little brothers were 13, 11, 10, 8, almost 7, and 4. On February 26th, 2013, I was walking home from school carrying a container of chocolate frosted chocolate cupcakes with chocolate sprinkles and a chocolate bar and some iced tea and some milk since Daddy loves that stuff. When I got home, I saw Daddy's youngest sister, my aunt Becky. I asked her what she was doing at the house and she said, "Daddy had a stroke." I got very scared and started crying my eyes out, so my aunt comforted me. My little brother Isaiah, who was almost 7 years old at the time, was so upset because Daddy had a stroke right before his birthday. He was crying because he wanted to celebrate his birthday with Daddy. Now I am 21 years old and my little brothers are 18, 16, 15, 13, 12, and 9. When Daddy had a stroke, we all prayed for him. I just wish that Daddy could walk and talk and speak in complete sentences again.

intro is good !!

Awesome videos guys im a 45 year old stroke victim since 2011 with left side deficet. Im pretty mobile now but wish id have discovered your channel years ago, as i am just now getting more serious with focusing on my left side arm strength....better late than never right?
