If you walk with difficulty because your stroke leg stays stiff and difficult to bend, you might want to do the exercises in this video.

After stretching your spastic, stiff and straight leg and doing your sitting exercises, you need to do exercises to improve your walking. These exercises are components that is necessary for a proper gait or walking.

First we need to practice stretching your stroke leg. Sit on a low chair or a stool. Bring your foot back as far as you can. This will stretch your hip, knee and ankle to bend.

Next we need to practice getting up.
Sit in front of your sink since this area is the most stable and what I found out makes most patients feel safer when we practice this. Pull up from the sink and practice high squats first. Do 10 and then do another 10 getting all the way up and then sitting all the way down.

Third exercise is foot sliding with paper plate. place a paper plate under your stroke leg and slide it back-and-forth 10 times. Support yourself with the kitchen sink Or a walker.

Fourth exercise is leg swinging. Bring your stroke leg back while bending your knee and kick it to the front like you are kicking a ball. Hold on to your kitchen sink or counter while doing this for support and safety. Do this 10 times.

Fifth exercise is knee up. Still supporting yourself on the kitchen counter or a walker, bring the knee of your stroke leg up as high as you can for 10 times.

Sixth exercise is stepping side to side. Step side to side from right to left three times Then rest.

And finally the last exercise is walking.
Take steps forward and back slowly. Do not overthink but apply the concepts of the previous exercises that we did. Like bringing your hip forward, bending the knee, And keeping your foot and toes sup so you are not dragging your stroke foot when you walk.

December 7th was my stroke date and my whole left side was paralyzed. I was calling the walk, the Zombie shuffle which mentally didn’t help, 4 months later I can walk 90-95%normal and know that rest is my friend. My left arm is still weak, but is utilizing the shoulder mor. My biggest enemy is gloves and trying to tie laces again, but I will persist until It’s mastered. everyone heals in their own time, and my most important resources is my wife and family. Dark moments are still around because some days seem like I’m going backwards, but, remember, rest is your, friend, so lie down and try again, until you take those win moments. And meet the challenges. We can beat this and inspire others. Pay it forward and Good luck ahead

Thank you very much for this. I’m in recovery from a hemorrhagic stroke I had after giving birth and am always looking for new home work-out ideas. The paper plate is simple but brilliant. I can’t wait to try it out tomorrow morning!
Thanks again!♥️

Thanks for the very useful video, I had my stroke on the 25 Nov so it's only been a couple of months, but from day one I've been exercising my stroke arm as a play guitar ( BADLY, NOW EVEN WORSE !! ) Now I get up every day and do my exercises in the Kitchen. I started off really slowly, doing very little to start with, but now I'm doing a lot more . Now I can walk about a mile, half a mile to my rest place & half a mile back home . It does take me about an hour, but it's worth it . What makes it a little harder is my Good leg needs a hip replacement. I still have the grim days, the physical effects you can understand and sort of deal with, the mental side, I find very difficult, the panic attacks, the depression & the absolute frustration and anger and anxiety aren't fun. But this is my life now, so I think we're all got to find a way round it . Try not to be too hard on the people you love & tell them you love them, because they are suffering like us. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
