Activities of Daily Living (ADL) After Stroke: Part 1

Resuming daily tasks, such as dressing, bathing and eating, is often a challenge after stroke.

Occupational Therapists teach patients simple strategies to compensate for a loss of abilities.

I'm a retired Home Health Aide.I miss working with my stroke patient.Watch these videos bring back good memories I enjoy watching my patients improve each day it may me feel so good knowing I was doing my best to help somebody.

Wow, so much negativity! I had a stroke at 46, I was very fit. I had 3 blockages in my brain, I couldn't stand on my own, slurred speech, left arm no control. I went to inpatient therapy for 10 days. I gave it my all and told therapist to push me. I wanted to be independent again, felt like a toddler having to relearn. My speech is good, struggle with some words. I walk by myself, no Walker or cane. Left arm more control. Did 2 months of outpatient therapy. I still have some balance, coordination, weakness on left side. Would a stranger know that I had a stroke 8 months ago, nope! Family and friends know it! My brain is healing at a much slower pace. So I'm a new me.

Appreciate the effort!!
But it doesn't seems like the client has any symptoms of stroke or may be she would have had TIA(Transient Ischemic Attack).

It would have been better to show a client with challenges or difficulties in the areas of occupations and the strategies or the techniques used by OT st to overcome those difficulties in daily living activities following stroke.

She has very good movement for a stroke survivor🤗👍 im 16 years post and wish I could move like her mine was a massive ischemic stroke.

Pt is independent...retrieving clothing material can be a CGA or just supervision. I did not see any difficulties during her ADL

[rachelm]

where is the "challenge, " as mentioned in the video description? can we see ADL training with a patient who has dense hemiparesis, severe L neglect, and apraxia?

My husband had a stroke five days ago. He stay in the hospital for 72 hours. I bring me house Saturday night. Now he would to do is stay in bed all day and night. I can't get him up and out of bed. All he went to eat is soups all day. What can he eat for breakfast and lunch and dinner?

If i can wear my shirt, but i have huge difficulties wearing my underwear, pants and shoes (can't lift my legs). am i considered dependent?

[sierrajernigan]

What is your response when pts say "I'm not doing that silly mess" in reference to ADLs when all they want to do is "go walking". I do explain how important and functional that ADLs are but they just dont get it sometimes.

Can you try doing this with a real CVA patient? This person had nothing going on with them....

[munawwarbharde]

I don't think that she had stroke because she is doing like a normal

[doroschristou]

Come on you guys. The idea is to help people by presenting real stroke patients.
Otherwise you do it just for the publicity

[christycorpuz]

It seems that she isn't stroke patient. Both sides are functioning.

[asiarichmond]

You need to have a massive stroke patient. Not a functional one. This is not helpful at all. I have severe spasticity just got my 3rd baclofen pump other 2 got infected. I have many medical issues. Stroke put me in wheelchair, have a lot of strength, able to stand a take little steps but have foot drop, I’m doing casting to correct. And I’m only 29. Had stroke at 24
