I have just discovered your videos and have started watching. I am almost 4 years post stoke. Thank you for the endless knowledge you have and share. I have never been a quitter. You have given me new hope.

Thank You so much for these exercises, so I can continue my recovery even though it has been 20 years since my stroke at 25. I am unable to see if these exercises are helping me as I just started them yesterday and I have finally been sent to occupational therapy after an intermission of 15 years. Recovery does not end in the first few years as originally thought. I am living proof, as recovery is continuing even after 20 years. You have been inspiartional in this video also as there are minor details I recognize in your movement that causes me to believe you have come a long way in your recovery. Thank You!!

Thank you so much for this I am 2 years after my stroke and have been through physio with negligible results so far but you actually put things in terminology I can understand and give me stretches and exercises I can do I can't put my gratitude into words you are awesome

[zitaorosz]

I would like to give you a little feedback on that recoiling exercise. It worked great for my wrist and my fingers. You are my most favorite therapist here on YouTube. I didn’t even know about all the stages of the after stroke hand and arm recovery. I love it how you educate us viewers. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Doctor Tobias. Klara ( a Registered Nurse, and stroke patient) from Rockwall Texas.

I really appreciate these videos. I had a car accident in 2007. I had a thriving fashion business. And I was on my way to a fashion show featuring my work. When the driver went head-on with a hummer, we were in a Honda. Well first, my carotid artery had at least five major strokes. Went into a coma. Had a swollen brain. Broken ribs, fractured skull. Well, I was so glad I got to you able to walk again. And some things just didn’t get better. I was a dancer before and really wanted my body back. It was such a disappointment that this happened for me. Of course, it is for anyone. I just hated addressing it. But the other side of that is worse. Having a business a very needy business, I went back to work . I gave everything to it. Ignoring what had happened to the best of my ability which was obviously not easy because I had cross eyed for two years, had a cane and was unable to lift anything. Blah blah blah. I’m sure all of you with strokes can comprehend what I’m talking about. Being at Dancer thinking I can do this myself.. but didn’t., just not really wanting to deal with it. I’ve kind of let some things just be left that’s a broken leg my left side, my left hand, balance, my feet, jumping. Just figured it ain’t their anymore. This is voice texting puppy, making a mess out of this but I just wanted to say thanks really like these. And I have some finger issues I want to address. Maybe I can share that at some point.

Hello Sorry for my bad English, great that I found you here, I'm really grateful for that I am 50 years old and come from southern Germany 😃😃😀 In 2018 I had a stroke (4 hours without help) my entire left side was without function 😫😥 I can now walk again But not well, foot lifter has no function but I have great psychological worries because of my left hand \ arm \ finger, only a deodorant function 😵‍💫 but nothing else, I am now working on the spasticity with you 👍🏽 😉😉 yesterday I bought a 80 cm splint and I work a lot with mirror therapy, oh sorry

dr tobias I have watched many, many of your videos. Your knowledge and understanding of all things related to stroke issues and advise for recovery is simply MIND BOGGLING. Thanks for all you do. I only wish I lived closer to Orlando !!

[DamilolaMalomo]

I am a physiotherapist who enjoys managing neurological conditions bsst and have gotten really frustrated by basically every splint design I have found. Really love your channel and look forward to your hand splint design

[saintchidi]

You are a life saver. I've been down with stroke about 4 months now, my elbow down to my fingers can't move. I think I have mild spasticity. I'll try these exercises. I hope it will not hurt my shoulder because that is painful.
