Video production by Will Riddick, PT, DPT for Mission Gait.
Special thanks to Tracy Rauk, PT, DPT (instructor), Aasha Manns (patient model), and Holly Thornton (script supervision).
I was taught some but not all of these in rehab but I couldn’t remember them anymore. I’m glad I found your video including your explanations. Thank you for posting this!
The instructors seem like genuinely nice people 🙂
Many thanks 🙏🏽
Such a great sharing!! ❤️🇺🇸
Awesome video!!!!!
Really loved your video as l found it very useful as I too am receiving treatment for my stroke recovery and this video made things easier and better 👍
Walk Talk series please show bilateral below the knee exercises and walking tips climbing up stairs and daily living activities for someone who is plus sized or a little heavier yet trying to lose weight perhaps like treadmill walking or using a squat machine at the gym
We will take this into account, thank you for sharing your idea with us!
Very nice
Thank yal get some water and have a good day.
Will this exercise help with my limping?
I suffer from spasticity and it's only been a week I've been doing exercises to increase flexibility and mobility. Could you please please show some exercises that will help people like me to walk better with ease? 🙏 The spine and legs feel heavy and stiff, and even walking seems like a great mission.
Hi 'lol', I was looking at a couple of You Tubes about spasticity in 'Rehab HQ'. Maybe you can find something in there?
I'm also suffering from spasticity since Im diagnosed with Tropical Spastic Paraparesis at the age of 15. I'd like to know any exercise that would help
Please make a video for above knee amputte
czcams.com/video/x8H3SRq1L8w/video.html This video may be more of what you are looking to see. It covers basic strengthening exercises for amputees, both below and above knee.
Thanks for the video - it is very well explained. Which muscles does the step-up strengthen? Is the effort supposed to come from abdominal muscles?
Vbnn
How do I play my play list?
I think the general public can handle hearing the name of specific muscles which you give vague reference to.
Glute medius!
I am a 73 year old woman who lost her left leg (3) years ago, and have never found anything more than walking between parallel bars for “gait training”.
I want to do Tracy’s strengthening exercises, but my socket fits way above my knee as my stump is 3 1/2” long. This means the socket is very high on the sides and prevents me from bending my knee to do a bridge which would help me to stand up straight. Any suggestions of an alternative way to achieve the results a real bridge exercise would provide?
Great question! One modification you can try is to place both of your legs on a higher surface such as a couch or chair and then engage your gluts and perform the bridge exercise. Let us know how it goes!
Ty - will try it.
This model doesn’t have a prosthesis. Big difference, especially leg lifts
Hi, friend! Please check out video for strengthening exercises for amputees: czcams.com/video/crmXdleJC9g/video.html
We also have an entire Prosthetic Training Series on our channel. We hope this helps!
Will you please suggest some exercise how to get rid from spastic paresis problem .... what kind of physical exercises will improve my walking I am 19 years old.... I am at the starting age of this problem....I have also taken lots of physiotherapy .....I can run ....I can do exercise also....but I want to get rid from my problem I am not able to walk properly
Hello, this would require an extensive in-person evaluation that is beyond what we offer at Mission Gait. We are focused on education and research in gait rehabilitation. You may consider consulting a physician to determine what areas you could improve upon to walk more efficiently.
@@MissionGait okay thanks 😊
1:37 from a physio perspective; why 10 and not more or less?
Thanks for the comment. A repetition count of 10 is an almost stereotypical approach to exercise prescription, so you present a good question! For the purposes of the video, we are looking to help people develop muscle control and a minimal baseline of strength that can assist in walking. For many people 10 repetitions, when performed on a regular basis, can help to accomplish this goal. As stated in the video you can do less if you are unable to perform 10 repetitions, but the goal should be at least 10 repetitions to support a baseline strength for walking. If 10 repetitions are very easy to perform, you could progress to 2-3 sets of 10 (if medically appropriate). If those continue to be too easy, it is time to move on to a more challenging exercise.
@@MissionGait us on
Thnx but I know about all these exercises
Good for you
knee over toe danger is a myth
I'm just 20 years old plz tell me how can I overcome my gait.?? It has been 5 or 6 months I'm not walking properly. Plz suggest me how can I overcome this problem.
The videos on our channel can certainly be helpful, but ultimately you will likely need someone local to you such as a physical therapist/physiotherapist. We focus only on education and research.
Hi................❤️❤️❤️💯👏🔥🤭🌈💌
Sorry dont have a table much less be able to climb up on one.👎
Using a 100% fit person to demonstate the rest - joke.
You don't literally need a table, and I think these are meant for people with lesser extent of impairment with their muscles. That said, you're not wrong either. I've been looking for exercises to help me with my unbalanced gait while walking as I have spasticity. I'm tired. Nothing seems to work.
I think it’s obvious they’re using someone fit enough to show the exercise done correctly.
@@espomull If you need to be fit to do the exercise properly what use is it to anyone who isnt - like me ???
@@howardvarley8795 the goal is to practice doing the exercise until you are strong enough to do it with correct form
@@PMW420db so youre saying practise it with bad form?? Wouldnt it be better to show an exercise on how to build strength enough to do it properly in the first place.
