Can you elaborate what your total deficiencies were during the time of your stroke?

Several times in inpatient rehab and also from my neurologist after I got out I was told the body makes priorities after a stroke. In the wild we would need to be able to move for safety and to get foodmore than we would need our hand. They told me that our bodies put the primary focus on the leg recovery in the early stages, and the hand if it comes back will be later on. I just reached my one-year mark and hoping that now that I’m walking much better that I can turn that focus to my hand

that not true, I think you had a good for nothing theriapist. that did not do his or her job. I have seen some of them, they are lazy. they don't care about stroke patients, they just in it for the money.

Thank you for explaining this , nobody’s ever done that. I thought there was something wrong with me ❤️

Wow, I only subscribed about 2 weeks ago and I'm really glad and grateful I did. I really want to validate your brilliant and creative approach and how you present the information. I have viewed other podcasts and I find your teaching and training methods and ability, to be the most effective and enlightening for me. I had a stroke on 17 July 2021. I can walk pretty well, although there is some weakness and loss of feeling in my left leg. My biggest challenge is my left hand. I went to rehab twice a week for about 3 months post stroke and did a lot of work at home. Rehab actually discharged me saying I was doing great, and you've done everything we've put you through well, although I still had some numbness in my left hand. Over the months though my left hand has gradually increased in numbness and decreased in function. Admittedly I did less rehab exercises with the hand but I didn't think it would go in reverse to this extent. What are your thoughts and recommendations? Please keep up your fantastic work! With great admiration, Frank

Hi, thank you for your videos, sharing your expertise and exercises. I had a stroke in 2017, i lost mobility on my right side. i can walk now, and yes, the hand/wrist/arm is tough tough. Thank you for your positive words. i will not give up. One day i will remove all this spasticity and play piano again. Please share more exercises for hand, wrists, etc. I really cant afford going to see therapy every week 😭.

thanks for your video. I'm almost 3 years post stroke and sometimes get a little frustrated with slow prgress. Keep them coming!

Thanks very much. It's really helpful I wish I knew that earlier Yeah, you're absolutely right I don't see the result after i've done all those things but One day I feel I get a lot better

Great explanation, thank you. My attending neuro said something similar after mine almost 8 yrs ago. He said imagine you're in Denver, and you work downtown, but your route is under construction, so you'll have to find a new way to get there. Made so much sense. Thank you guys, for putting things into ideas stroke patients can wrap our heads around. My hand strength came back fairly soon, thank goodness, but the sensation has never fully returned. That left hand still randomly turns back into a "flipper" I call it. Fairly useless on a bad day.

Of course! It's normal (not nice though) to feel anxious after a stroke and about your recovery. The good news is that the first 3-6 months after your stroke is when your brain has heightened neuroplasticity. Capitalize on this time! I hope you have access to therapists ❤️

I had a stroke last year, 1st April - 4th April 2023. My speech is coming back, when somone is speaking to me, i can't speak properly so they understand me. I went speech therapy, occupational therapy last year. Can you help me?

I live in Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago.

I developed a drop foot and numb toes on my right side. I lost my knee jerk reflex and lost ability to lift my left leg lying on my back. I can not use my left leg to push up from squatting position. All this happened over few days. X-rays, MRIs and scans did not reveal anything out of normal. Nerve conductivity study revealed I have nerve issue. No one knows what caused it...I would like to think if I had a stroke I would know about it... Doctors gave up on me. I am pushing myself through exercises which are painful. I also take vitamin B12 which I was deficient in, and ALA. It is so frustrating going from active athlete to wheel chair without reason or explanation.

I hope that your recovery is going well. Unfortunately, I'm not a speech therapist, so my area of expertise is not around techniques to recover speech. But here is a great article from Flint Rehab on recovery speech after stroke: www.flintrehab.com/cant-talk-after-stroke/ I hope you find it helpful!

now I know why recovery of my wrist to fingers and angkle to foot never reach to 50% after 5 years, while I can walk up and down the stairs and move my entire hand almost easily, thank you Doc. I have questions, I always wondering, if my memory of the motions of my hand and fingers is still 'there' somewhere in my braincell, only I cant reach it because of blockage in my blood vein, or it just completely gone because my brain cell damaged

Fortunately, damaged brain cells are not beyond repair. They can regenerate, and this process of creating new cells is called neurogenesis.

Thank you for this comment! I added some links to articles on neurogenesis to the description of this video, if anyone is interested! Damaged brain cells can absolutely be repaired! And while the research is mixed, it appears that there may be some areas of the brain capable of producing neurogenesis. But we typically see impairments after a stroke because certain brain cells have died.
