Thank you so much for this video.
I really want to walk normally again and I feel sad about the things I cannot do normally like driving and sports to the point where I just lie in bed doing nothing
i know bro i wanted to join sports but i walk and run like shit....only my right foot is dropping
@@cv-we7ly right foot drop gang
@@decepticonleadermegatron5239 hows your leg now??
@@cv-we7ly the same as it was for 14 years
czcams.com/video/9fXLmuLvcw8/video.html check this bro...this might help
Seriously you guys are awesome....
I've been watching your channel since I stop working cause of my Multiple sclerosis....but I tune to your channel for help and tips.
As well I recommend your channel to others where one did a simple exercise on her shoulder everyday for two weeks and now has more movement and pain free( not using pain free drugs and didn't go surgery).
I know everyone is different but I say watch these awesome guys first and see if their advice works(mind you, you must be dedicate the time and push yourself).
If you have MS, check out this video. czcams.com/video/9fXLmuLvcw8/video.html
I am a 27 year old male currently dealing with knee rehab for almost a year now. I was born with a mild form of cerebral palsy which hasn't really inhibited my life much up until recently but I learned how to walk much later in life and when I did, I didn't learn how to walk correctly, and all the years of problematic mobility have caused quite the strain on my knees. At this next phase in my rehab I'm working to finally have a healthier, less limiting gait which I believe will improve my symptoms tremendously. This is easier said than done of course, trying to break down 20+ years of bad muscle memory and establish new neurological pathways will not be easy, but I hope that with hard work, prayer, and patience I will get there. This video as well as many of your other videos have been invaluable to me these last few months, and the wit and humor you both bring to your content makes this recovery journey much less taxing, thank you both so much! Blessings to you 🙏
you guys always have good advice -keep up the good work-m,k wis
Thank you ever so much!
Love your shirt, Brad 👍🏻
Created awatenedd and simple excersise is so beneficial thk you

Such a great information thanks for sharing! ❤️ from 🇺🇸
Thank you so much.. Definitely will go to your website for mattress giveaway, in need of that also
Thank you!
Very cool!
Gonna start doing this thnx alot
Omg this wrap technique is great! I’m so thankful it’s going to help me out tremendously when I go in for my bone marrow transplant on Monday oct 7th. We are required to walk everyday and I’m not going to want to wear my brace when I feel like crap so this will be wonderful.
I haven’t walk since April I don’t got force on my leg 😭
Dear Bob & Brad: love you young guys. I had lower back surgery 4 months ago. The surgery went great. I say that because I’m no longer in pain after suffering with pain for over a year. I up and moving. But, I have a slight limp on my right side when I walk. Can you telling what the problem might be and offer suggestions on exercises that might help. Thank you
🎉thank you!
I'm trying to do my own research now on exercises and options. I hate my AFO'# that they gave me when I was discharged from the hospital. I am trying to rebuild muscle and get better. I developed drop foot after 5 months in the hospital and 3 due to covid. I'm definitely going to dig into some more of your videos.
What you need to look for in a shoe or boot to help with foot drop issues, is a hard or solid sole. Meaning that the bottom of the shoe doesn't bend much, it's not flexible or its as little as possible flexible or pliable
The best doctors
Brag and Bob, for footdrop exercises you need to use a model (patient) who has a footdrop to perform the exercise. You are a normal person so it is easy for you to move your foot to show. In a hospital they use electricity to strap the patient's footdrop, so when the electricity power is switched on the footdrop could lift up and down like a normal foot. But as the power is switched off after 15 minutes the footdrop drops down and back to square one.
Yeah !I haven’t walk since April I don’t got force on my leg 😭
After I broke my leg I had some nerve damage. It took me a year of concentrated effort with every step to walk with out a limp because of foot drop. I'm going to check out your exercises because I still run with a limp and maybe that will help. ...it can't hurt! Although at 60 I'm not running too fast for too long. .lol. .anyways ....thanks guys!👍
Is it totally recovered now?
@@anasuddin09 happily yes for the most part! If I'm really tired the leg lags a little behind but no limp. And my knee gets stiff if I don't keep it stretched out. The titanium rod will always be with me but I can't tell it's even there. I'm so grateful my doctor did a good job. Probably way more that needed to be said but thank you very much for asking. Hope you have a wonderful day!
@@soak785 thank u for sharing your experience.
Yo yo I got foot drop
Hey, Bob&Brad, re. 7:12 - not tying the knot too tightly - you can use a clip for kitchen plastic bags to squeeze the ends together, but it has to be a clip that actually secures itself.
I think Thera Band sell clips like that as well [probably not in the kitchen-clip price range, though]
I love that old style opening. Reminds me of the 80s and 90s tv shows
I sprained my ankle somehow by opening home gate , my doctor said nothing was broken however I couldn't walk for 3 weeks. I been sloooowly healing after 3 months, and I have found myself walking barefoot for about 2 weeks now, seems to be helping.
Yooo I have the same problem rn but there scaring me sayin I need surgery 😭. I haven’t walk since April I don’t got force on my leg 😭
Good morning, I was wondering if you all had any ideas on how to improve balance with someone who has an anoxic brain injury? My husband had an allergic reaction to Lisinopril November 2017. We went from being told that he had no brain activity to now he is home and can do so much. He does have a lot of deficits but I’m thankful he is still here. He uses a walker but needs help. I quit work to be his caregiver. Our adult children had started a go fund me because we cannot work now and he had no insurance when it happened because he had been laid off. Now we are hearing he may lose his insurance again. He has had in home therapy and outpatient therapy. He gets sick when we go anywhere so we stay home. He is only 55 years old. Is there anything you can suggest to help? Thank you and I love watching y’all.
very nice and informative video. It just inspires me to walk normal again. The elastic band around the foot and leg is it applicable when you wear a shoe? If not can you make a video for that? thank you.
I find that a 3 ft bungee cord hooked between belt and front shoe lace works to fix walking stride but doesn’t do much to heal problem. I had back surgery for severe pinch of sciatic nerve at L5.
thank you so much I'm precticing because my left leg got big damage because my feet got stuck in gate
My PT had me go to have an AFO brace.
Hello I seen your advertising about the pro and cons of CBD OIL. When will you be posting it.
Hello Doctors Brad and Doctor Bob,
I have a FootDrop from neurapathy diognosed as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.
Which one is Bob and Brad?
Dear great twosome, my right side hip is heavy and pulling downwards while walking. I undergone spine surgery two years back and now walking without stick ( last 7 months). Spasticity is more on right leg. Thanks for consideration.
I think Brad is so cute. I really enjoy your videos guys! I have patients with foot drop. Thanks!
Great videos. Do you have any exercises for footdrop in bedridden patient with spasticity due spinal cord problem?
I love these Doctors! They remind me of The Smother's Brothers for some reason! Lol!
Im paraplegic learning gow walk again now im fine using the left leg brace do to foot drop but ima have try this out on both legs
I'm 32 year old and I'm dealing with drop foot I had all the sign of drop off for a while but i didn't think much of it until i woke up yesterday unable to lift my front foot upward. I find it difficult to drive as well and walk.
I like Bob and Brad ... always something to learn.
But - "walk normal" ? And "a injury" ?
I was in a car wreck and got a fractured tibia and nerve damage as part of a crushed knee. I can't lift my foot period. I can without weight on it, but just a little.I haven't figured out a solution but i have lots of work arounds, like when I drive.
I have foot drop and had many instances where I've gone ass over tea kettle. Never addressed it but it is clearly a problem.
I can help I have it but I walk completely normal without anything connect me on Instagram @arya0009 I just want to help
@@themodernyogi0970 Thanks, it has gotten better by being constantly aware and I don't trip like I used to.

@@slimeebro7088 text me on insta man I ll try if I could help you
I wish I had a dr that would help me . I just tried to walk on my heels and I couldn't do it. I don't have good balance and I am going to look harder for a dr to listen to me. Thanks guys. I got my recliner set up to almost like a hospital bed. It's very comfortable. 😅😁
Julie Marvin keep trying it take time and effort
Julie Marvin how old r u? I’m 13 and all my local doctors listen to me, but my ortho doesn’t. I have a LCL injury and meniscus injury and he won’t operate on me. He even told me “You’ll just have to live with the pain.”
I love to play soccer and i play with the U15 girls team in my hometown.

@@slimeebro7088 i’m so sorry, you’re gonna get through this❤️
6:30 Pretty sure l saw this on the Ed Sullivan Show!
Boots, I never thought of that. 🤔 I wore an AFO at the suggestion of my PT, it really helped in the beginning after a stroke, but after a while, as my range of motion increased the AFO became uncomfortable and began to hurt my shin, it also restricted strength training. I had it adjusted once, but that only made it worse in the long term. I finally purchased an over the counter ankle, Velcro type brace, it attaches to my shoe and or to my barefoot then my ankle. Which lifts my toes up. This helped greatly and it allows me to strengthen my shin during exercise, although I still suffer from foot drop, my toes scarp the floor like quossy moto without a brace, I'm improving greatly. I'll check out the 10 best exercises for stoke, as I have spasticity in my toes whenever, I put weight on my foot. What can I do for this?
I prefer to not use these at all. It may help, but with strokes its all about the brain, muscle atrophy is present especially in heavy paresis when you lie in bed for long. But its about waking up the brain, making it use undamaged neurons to execute complicated synergies.
Can’t find the 10’ ones. Can you provide a link to buy them? Thank you so much!!!
How to walk perfectly if we remove the distal fibula

Every time I play football, I get foot drop. I literally can’t move my right foot upwards and struggle to work and tend to trip over. It relieves itself about 2 days later but is this a sign of something else?
What is it called when the back of your foot drops when you try walking on your toes?
Gargoyle 🖤

Hi Bob & Brad, I was put on ventilator because of Covid and when I woke up I had foot drop. Do you have a different video for foot drop that can help me? It has been 9 month 2 weeks since I woke up. I been through about 15 weeks of therapy for 3 days a week. I can walk with a walker around the house and to the car. I have two AFOs on left with a inversion and on the other leg with foot drop. I had a wound on my sacral area. Any advice would be helpful.
i was born with a dropped foot would it ever be able to get treated and fixed
Can my mother do this with skolios?
is there a brace like the hip flexor TheraBand temp brace for purchase?
I've had foot drop for over 11 years after my last TBI. Yes, I wear an AFO. I can walk without it (so long as I don't have the weight of a shoe dragging it down). Should I err on the side of caution & only do this exercise while wearing the AFO?
Sometime exercise without the AFO but definitely walk with the AFO. :) Check out this video. It might help :) czcams.com/video/9fXLmuLvcw8/video.html
I had this balance problems till being less age and I think this is an issue with nerves and please give me a solution Doctors.☹️😌
Hi sir pls help iam a stroke patient when my my leg get tired of walking it be came heavy pls help
What if you only positive for one of the tests (the first test)?
I have foot drop from serious nerve damage to my leg, I can't lift my toes upwards and my foot is so bent that I walk on the side of my foot, I cant walk well anyway, but when I put weight on my foot it's always on the side and is extremely painful, I use crutches or a scooter, but around the house I use neither, I have tried similar to this item and the boot, neither did any good at all, nobody seems to be able to help me and my doctor and surgeons seem to have given up tring. That's no good for me as I am in excrutiating pain all the time with my legs anyway, never mind having this also.
i got neuropathy last ramadan and i still cant walk... i have more strength now for someone that couldn’t even lift their wrist, bend their feet or swallow liquids without choking its just been too long and i wish there was a faster way i really had no idea all of this could happen when your body runs out of vitamin b12 ... i still can’t move my ankle or feel it well my hands are better its just not as strong as normal yet
Get well soon 💪

I still don't haven't had enough money to go to the hospital to check the pain in my waist when I exercise to get strength in my ankle muscle . So am still disgustingly walking like that around.
I hope you found help, but if not, hospitals can't turn you away for not being able to pay. Once you get the bill, make sure to get it itemized nd then ask for paperwork to file a financial grievance.

Hi guys, this question is off topic but we can use your help please, my wife has poor circulation in her legs and we were wondering have your heard of the magnetic system from JAPAN to help with her problem? or what do you recommend to help, she uses a small massage ball before she goes to bed and it helps somewhat, and I massage her calves to help.
Sounds like a waste of money.
