I feel like if Spasticity/tone wasn't a thing, I'd be back to my old self. Spasticity/tone is hindering me a lot. I will keep fighting

Thanks again for a useful video. It’s quite a long one and I had to find time to sit and watch it but I’m glad I did. Some very useful information you have shared and my understanding of why I have to stretch certain muscles is better understood now. In cold weather, my foot spasticity kicks in and the leg is less inclined to bend at the knee. Also, my stroke foot is swollen (better after a nights sleep if I stick my feet out of the quilt) but worse in warm weather and I have to be careful what I wear on my feet. I could fill my small house up with physio gadgets and tools so I’m going to use the bottom step for sitting on to stretch the back of my ankle muscles.

Tara, without a doubt, you are the most professional of all that I have seen over the years on the Internet. You have an ease in explaining everything that is to be learned and put into practice in a way that everyone can understand, so that even the least initiated in such a thing would be able to handle it. You are, in short, THE BEST! THANK YOU!

It's really great that you put all of these stretches/exercises in this one video so I can make it a regular routine. I am so grateful for you because you have so much compassion and care so much about helping people like me with neurological mobility issues!

@nolaigmckaigney7135 8 ай бұрын

I find that when I walk the strap on my AFOover the ankle prevents my foot from flexing sufficiently to get a good dorsiflexion. I do squats every day and get good foot position, any suggestions to encourage better outcome

For many years, I didn't know the terminology of my condition. However, the descriptions on this video helps me understand what I need. Education is the key. Thank you very much!

Wow. Thanks. After over 20 years of spacticy, I finally understand what is going on with my foot drop. I thought it was inflammation or something that needed meds It is overlooked in the medical system and would be helpf for all who are suffering to know and work on. The neuropathy is from the distortion I think. Thank you Tara.

Question: how often should you stretch your limbs? Generally, muscles go back to the spastic position after a stretch.

Question. Is poor dorsiflexion considered foot drop? I can lift the front of my foot while seated (dorsiflexion) but I cannot walk on my heels . But I can walk and no trip since I have some dorsiflexion . I do have a slight slap gait when get tired. Your videos are great by the way.

Very useful video, sharing your knowledge, thank you. My question: why someone who is Hemiplegic can achieve knee flexion only when in sitting and leg is extended giving that stretch in the Hamstrings,and ankle held in neutral? No contraction when in prone, side lying, not to mention walking.

@razvanmoldovan7280 8 ай бұрын

Note: the action( knee flexion) is performed against resistance

This is the same problems, Ankle dropping downwards, Knee drops and shakes when he outs weight on the leg, using glutes he is not able to push forward. This prevents walking normal, what can be done to prevent knee dropping forward ?
