Dear Dr, I am a thalamus stroke survivor, just to notify that I have no cholesterol or glucose problem, the night I had stroke, my BP was 138/83 and still get stroke, and I took my medicine. Sometimes really being living healthyly doesn't help. Just bad luck born body. Sometimes, do think all my exercise, eating and healthy living really down to drain. I m recovery. With acupuncture and exercise. Thanks anyway with all the great video. Yes do more of this type of video.😍👏🙏👍

I had a thalamus stroke 17 months ago. Mine seems atypical from the person you described. I lost all move on left side limbs. Arm, hand, leg, foot. I have great sensory feeling, no pain, and good balance. I did some of you exercises early on and got good progress. I now have a really good PT. I can walk a mile or two unassisted but unfortunately I still have a lot of weakness and fatigue. My one year recovery plan turned into a two or three year plan but I go at it 90 minted a day 7 days a week.

This vid helped me a couple years ago---and I just located it again b/c I find it helpful to return to review the Overview/Basics since even improving, over time--the basic drills are never out dated or too repetitive. My challenge is more often the AFO & insurance & orthotist & why the devil the system doesn't accommodate that over time, AFO adjustments & fit changes as our gait/strength shifts--especially since the whole point is I can't 'feel' the affected leg. SADLY, my original orthotist retired & sold business to franchise--the original 2 staff learned craft helping Vietnam War era vets and really knew brain relationship to limb neuropathy; & fitting/adjusting the AFO--practically from across the room before I sat down. They'd 'just know' what to do. I didn't realize how spoiled I was. Thanks again for your info & work.

Seven months out from my stroke and I am at the point that progress is slow and I already got a little depressed until I realized that improvement was made but it was over weeks and months not days. Your videos on hand rehab really made a difference since I could not get in to therapy for two weeks after my mild stroke. I make sure to use my affected side more than I used to, like clearing the table. I feel like I am ready to be employed again.

Regarding increasing R (affected UE) awareness while at work , he can don a wrist 1-1.5# weight, for continual sensory input. As everyone should that sit for work, is to stand up and stretch every 20 min… at least, but should be more frequent for him. during those breaks he can weight bear. Great KZfaq video Thanks

@andrewzanas9387 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting. My stroke event was hemorrhagic, a bleed, but I pretty much have experienced all the issues you describe. It was confirmed in a 15 year re-assessment recently by another stroke specialist, who saw in the old MRIs multiple minor strokes of both ischemic blockages and hemorrhagic bleeding that have occurred over the years. It was a shock but not a surprise. I had always assumed my stroke was a one time thing. 😬Wrong again. I will def have to pay closer attention to monitoring my BP. These occurred exactly where you said, in the small capillaries of the thalamus. You continue to provide us with excellent advice, Doctor T.🥰

Thanks for describing the solution to a particular problem, they always come in handy when needed. I read a long time ago that a simple test of damage to the thalamus, for example, at the same time we touch the flexors of the fingers on the forearm with the thumb, and the extensors with the index finger. If the patient feels a touch at two points, that is good, if it feels like a single touch, then the thalamus is felt and the patient has little chance of recovery. Is that correct ? Have a nice week.

@RehabHQ I too had complete sensory loss after a thalamic stroke 5 years ago. My first return of sensation after 2 years was pain on the underside of the foot. It has caused problems with the construction and wearing of my afo. I recently found an article that showed callus formation in that area of the foot with a varus deformity. You didn't mention inversion or a varus deformity but I wondered if he might have that same problem. For me the only sensation that has returned is pain and the level of pain sensation is exaggerated in relation to the pain stimulus. I am working on sensory reeducation to be able to modulate the pain signal to better understand external inputs.

Really appreciate hearing about this patient's limitations & how you are specifically addressing them. Are you ever concerned about anterior shld dislocations / subluxations when performing the low seated triceps presses in CVA pts? Thanks again...loved it! #CaseStudy

@rehabhqofficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Kelly! Glad you liked this one. In my experience someone who is prone to subluxation, you would start with something supine and make sure the humeral head is approximated in the glenoid prior to going to this type of an exercise. If I did do this with someone who is prone to subluxation, I place my hand in the axilla (webspace of my hand cupping the neck of the scapula). This way I can control both the scapula and the head of the humerus. Also it is rare that someone is subluxed anteriorly. It might be slightly anterior but primarily inferior relative to the glenoid fossa. (It may appear anterior because the scapula is protracted and winging) Easy to check this by palpating the rim of the Glenoid (in most cases it is easy to palpate this due to the atrophy). In any case, this position is important to stretch the pec major, minor and bicep which may all be contributing to the protracted scap and inferior position of the humeral head. So I would not be hesitant to try this as long as you constantly monitor the humeral head. I hope that makes sense!

Hi Dr. Tobias. Case studies are an excellent way to show stroke survivors that we need to create our own recovery strategy.

Interesting. I had an ischemic thalamic stroke 22 years ago at age 39. Developed thalamic pain syndrome within 2 weeks of stroke. I have parathesia on entire left side. Tried all sorts of drugs first decade, with really not too much help. Finally got off neurontin/gabapentin after 22 years as of 2 months ago. I can actually tolerate the pain better being off of it. Of course, slowly got off. Withdrawal was still significant challenge. I'm beginning to feel normal-ish now. My biggest problem is spasticity. Makes me very uncomfortable around other people. I sit on my hand, but that just makes shoulder spazz out. I'm going to look at your other videos to see if you have suggestions.

@Christian Top Gun I'm still off Gabapentin. I think intermittent fasting and my diet helps a lot, too. Which is mostly keto. I do know sugar increases my pain. Guessing it's because it causes inflammation. I have been on many, many drugs in the past! I started on Neurontin (gabapentin) in the beginning. At one point I took around close to 8000mg per day. Dr at that time said it would not hurt me. Went down to 3600mg for many years. But I can honestly say my pain is probably the same as when I was on it. BUT in the beginning, the GABA truly made me feel better. And the higher doses did help but I was also on high dose of Effexor, Nortriptyline, and Vicodin (written for 4 times a day! But I only took it once a day). Needless to say I was kind of a zombie. Got off everything but gabapentin about 12 years ago, when I started using alternative therapies to help my body relax.

@LavinLifeinTX Жыл бұрын

@Christian Top Gun I do hope your pain is alleviated! I do take D3 with K2 125mcg and some 5htp 100mg. I do believe these help my mood, which in turn definitively helps my pain. Also, I'm looking into near infared sauna bulbs. You might look that up? Supposed to help with lots of things. My dr actually recommended carnivore diet for 3 months. I'm not much of a meat eater, but I'm determined to try it! May God give you much strength and peace, and ease your pain.
