Physical Therapy Restores Walking After Stroke

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.

      Hey,
    I just signed the petition "Cancer Council Australia: Approve lung
    cancer screening in Australia" and wanted to see if you could
    help by adding your name.

    Our goal is to reach 101111 signatures and we need
    more support. It is the emotionally traumatic grey area of law, that needs higher medical
    standards, and screening. The Australian gov provides rebates for
    imaging

    and pathology services, as they do for skin cancer
    clinics .You can read more and sign the petition here;

    … glad he made it out in one piece he has 50 pounds on the physical therapist and I’m sure she is not super woman… There are very wide gait belts available with large loops on them and it doesn’t take long to attach a gait belt
    Invest in one as your own personal equipment…
    No excuse for not using one…

  15. Lupe Vaquera on January 2, 2021 at 9:57 pm

    Jackie h I’ll hope n pray that your sister gets better too because I believe she will walk again..

    WHERE IS THIS HOSPITAL

  19. Hannah Duggan on January 2, 2021 at 10:00 pm

    Daddy had a stroke 5 years ago. He slept in the hospital for 10 days. Then he was put in rehab. When he was only 55 years old, he was put in an old people’s home and all the residents there were so much older than him. 55 years old is pretty young. Daddy is almost 60 years old now. Mommy has to work hard every day to take care of Daddy. Sometimes me and my 6 little brothers help her with taking care of him. When Daddy had a stroke, me and everybody in my big family and our friends prayed for him to get better. And now he can walk, but he has to use a cane and a wheelchair and he can talk, but his favorite word is change. And Mommy always calls him dude. Daddy needs lots of therapy like speech therapy and physical therapy. Sometimes, the boys take him out for walks when it’s nice out. And sometimes, Daddy’s friends from his work come to the house. Like when I told my little brothers to take Daddy for a walk outside, they were sleeping. All of them were sleeping.

    To those people getting mad about the gait belt situation: use your common sense!.Not all patients require a damn belt..Ofcourse if your patient is a fall risk, then use you clinical judgement and use one!.And some areas (US), consider it as a restraint..In this video, the therapist clearly knows her patient well and understands the risks..

  21. 2020 Slots on January 2, 2021 at 10:02 pm

    It’s been a couple months now I can walk without a cane or Walker. But still a bit weak. But will gain strength

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

    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.

  24. Ines Bonera on January 2, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    How can my mother get a hospital service like this in Indonesia?, this very good to have a professional therapist for stroke.

    My mother was able to heal her stroke problems naturally via the special guidance of an African herbal practitioner by the name Dr. Harry Obiego.

    My mom had suffered from acute bodily stroke attacks in her sixties of which had resulted from a leaking or bursting of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke), and of whose condition had restricted her from partaking in certain aspects life had presented  before her. Prior to the arrival of this natural remedy, my mom had experienced a great deal of difficulty in maintaining her day to day activity as it came by, this was a one condition that had resulted to the prompt loss of her job. I was really attuned to her sufferings as a daughter, as I was in every nook and cranny of the internet looking for a sustainable remedy for her condition. I had a determination to put her sorrows to an end if I could, and by Providence’s doings, I was finally able to relieve her from the humiliating sufferings she had been went through.

    It was during my ceaseless research on the internet that I had been opportune to stumble across the professional naturopathic works of an African herbal practitioner – Dr. Harry Obiego, of whom would later be my mom’s savior from her dreadful condition. There were testimonials following his gifted talent in healing paralysis naturally, and having saved quite a number in certain areas in his community. Having read all the information regarding this natural cure presented by this herbal practitioner I had been very much tempted to acquire some more information that had led me to contacting this natural healer. I was marveled at his hospitality and advice he had recommended to my mom and how his herbal supplements were able to eliminate my mom’s stroke in a short period of time after prior to the completion of the medication. It was some miraculous recovery she had experienced as she had fully became able-bodied and very active in her daily activities.

    I am so pleased at the the recovery story of my mom from this dreadful condition and would wish to use this opportunity to reach out to any facing similar ordeal to be hopeful and find a confidant like this African herbal healer in defeating their health problems. Paralysis can never be a life sentence with this natural herbal medication and would highly recommend to anyone with similar health setback.

    For more valuable information concerning this natural herbal remedy, feel free to contact this herbal doctor directly via email: drharryobego@gmail.com
