Physical Therapy Restores Walking After Stroke

Upon admission to Helen Hayes Hospital following a stroke, Joe had right sided weakness and poor balance. At the start of his physical therapy sessions, he required the assistance of two therapists to walk.
With intensive physical therapy focused on strengthening and motor learning, Joe progressed from requiring two people to walk to walking with assistance from one therapist and the use of a cane and orthotic. The orthotic helped Joe control his right knee and foot during walking.

This is not one day project...Every day yo be done... Have seen my relatives and my dad..everyday is a progress... surrounded people hav to teach and talk to them and motivate..First have to start with bed exercises then make them sit everyday...make them stand everyday and ask thwm to press the affected leg as much as they can...next is good food..adding pepper turmeric and veegtables and greens to diet helps..other tip is using oil massage we use narayana thaila and also ayurveda thaila sudarshana thaila massage from amazon.. progress is slow but worth it..we shoild alsontry to get a flouwer cot so affected person can bend their body make them sit in cot itself

How long was he in the rehab hospital? After he left did he continue with any outpatient pt?

Learning guitar has me feeling like this

[joaquimrodriguez]

Those are some loose legs, for some one that suffered a stroke. This may be fake. the effected arm doesn't square up against the mid section.

[paulgoss]

i need free help, from stroke. the left side of my whole body is pins and needles!

[itsnotcompareeagle]

What if the problem is the knees are stocked or unfunction joints that cause to not able to walk?

[floridian]

How long does it takes for a person to recover from a second stroke. And can you just exercise once a day? I’m asking because I have little time to help my grandma exercise because I work.

Those who help us to get back to our daily life without any physical contraints are actually GOD to my eyes. Nobody wants to be bedridden regardless we are poor or rich. This is the kind of treatment we expect from all hospitals staffs.
