- Abnormal muscle synergy patterns is a normal part in the stages of motor recovery. However, if left to persist for to long, they can interfere with the later stages in movement recovery. In this video I will talk about what this means and give easy exercises to help correct this movement problem following a stroke or brain injury. This can also happen in someone who has brain damage due to multiple sclerosis.

Thank you so much. I’m a student/future PTA, this video helps me so much with understanding abnormal synergies and put neuro rehab in perspective. This is not just textbook knowledge, this is COOL stuff that many patients can benefit from.
Dr. My mom recently had a stroke and you are my go-to resource. Blessings to you for your channel
Thank you for watching! I am so glad to learn the videos are helpful 😊
What are your thoughts on the treatment being give in Florida on stoke patients?
Agreed: she is fabulous and I no longer have therapy sessions due to financial considerations so am so very grateful for these videos for explanations and exercise suggestions 😬🙏🏼
Thank you very much for your sharing your video. I have been injured on a jobsite within the last year and despite my stroke a week later it wasn’t until May (5 months total) and the full open brain surgery took full effect and started from scratch. It has been a long and slow process but I am on the mend and you videos are a lifesaver. Thank you so much for putting your video’s out there to see and share, it is a very big process for you to put them out there and I wanted to thank you personally.
Hi was wondering how I can be one of your patients. I truly believe I can still improve much with the right guidance.
19MAY22: I suffered in 2015 a stroke I am 7 years into my recovery.
I do not have my affected arm moving yet.
Everthing else do to odd energy :
I take apple cidervinega (ACV) in water in the morning.
This helps clear out dead cells.
The remaining two meals I do the same but use liquid amino acid.
This helps build new cells.
All odd energy movements reduced or went away.
My balance returned and my walking improved.
You are amazing and blessed with your expertise. Now I know the difference and exercises to focus on for the different synergy patterns. Si yu'us masse, Thank you.
Dr. Tara, thank you for the info! Could you please do a video on spacity in the wrist?
Hi there Elena, I've been learning a lot since my recovery started. Wrist spasticity is very bad which restricts the finger movements. Plus it causes a deformity that is pretty common in stroke. Its ,As she says wrist turns downwards (flexionand in some cases
wrist stays in abduction.( sideways tilt forming a curve in wrist. I'm sure your therapist might help on this with proper stretching
I can send you a link about wrist stabilization and opening of wrist
Thank You, dr. Tara! This video is very helpful. My son has great difficulties with the supination and the wrist is always an obstacle. I know you"ve mentioned the "wrist problem", but would you please give some more advice about that?! God bless you in your enormous work for a lot of people all over the world.{I'm from Bulgaria}
Hi Maria! Thank you for the suggestion. I plan to do another wrist/hand video soon. Stay tuned 😊
Love it , you’re a great help 💕
Thanks for another valuable, informative.video. your patience with us is greatly appreciated.
Hi Fred! I am so glad you found this one helpful 😊 I am happy to be able to help
Thank you dr Tara.
Wonderful blessed person from louisa thanks
Just going back over this video for my arm its helpded so much after my botox thank you
Dr.Tara, another great informative video. Thank you for the in-depth explanation on involuntary synergy movements.
Please share your thoughts on the Saebostretch as a hand/wrist brace. Thank you!
Thanks so much! You've helped me tremendously with all your videos, I have ALS for 4 years now and YES I still have movement but limited...only a month watching 👍🏾👍🏾
Hi Randielynn! I am so glad you found this video helpful. I don't think that there are many people in this community with ALS. I am happy to welcome you to this community!! Let me know if you have anything specific you would like me to address in a video 😊
thanks for the video and explanation.
Hi Dr. Tobias,
Thank you so much for your videos. Both of my parents have had strokes in the last 6 months and I have been using your channel as my number one resource. May I ask a question? For the exercise that isolates elbow extension (at 8:26) would that be appropriate to do with someone who often has involuntary movement that causes elbow flexion. Would that make it worse?
🌞🌞 A very good video again, Dr. Tara, thank you. I love your explanations as they really clarify what's going on with us 🌞🌞 Have a happy day 🌞🌞
Hi Nina, I am glad you enjoyed this one! I missed you chiming in on Sunday 😊 I hope all is well in Germany.
@@rehabhqofficial Here everyone including me gets lazy in all these lockdowns 😂😂 everybody cozy on the sofa, with this bad German winter weather 😃😃 Good to see that you are fine too 🌞🌞
God bless Dr. Tara
Thank you Dr.
I just started setting with a 65-year-old stroke man. He can use his right arm very little and it basically stays at his side. He can use his right hand to feed himself but it takes quite a while and it is quite a struggle. He cannot lift his right arm straight up above his head. I am wondering what would be the first simple steps to help him with his right arm? He doesn’t talk a lot but he does understand and does what I ask him to with his hands as best he can. I so want to help him get better. I’ve listened to this video but after you said to isolates a hand and elbow, I thought I better ask the first specific stab. I was just having him open his hands and grip then open again, thinking that would help him with his use of his hand when eating. I’ve been listening to all your videos and they are so very helpful. Thank you for any guidance you might share.
Excellent info as always, thank you so much!
Thanks Melanie! I hope it helps 😊

don't expect an answer; she is not a doctor
Dr Tara, could give us which video to be practised first, followed by which video, for improving hand and arm movement, please. Thank you very much.
Thanks!
Thank you so much Diego! I am so appreciative of your continued support for these videos. :)
A patient that has hemiplegia and d person's leg shakes when working out, what can the person do to improve his leg atleast for he or she to do a proper Burpees or proper high knee workout
Good job
Hello. Where can we find a strap like the one you use in your videos? Thank you.
Still searching for the blue strap please help me by posting link of supplier.
Hello, please tell me if it is possible to overcome Abnormal muscle synergy patterns in the fingers at the year+ stage?
It’s great! Thank you !!!
Thanks Tim! I hope it was helpful 😊
It appears my hand on affected side involuntarily tightens when ever I exercise lower extremities like it's trying to help..afterwards my hand will feel tight and have to take Gabapentin to calm the nerves..foot and hand acts connected. Any clue?
Tq mam
What’s the link to the yellow strap?
Great video! An unrelated question: when do you review exercises if you have followed an exercise program and haven't seen much improvement? For example I have followed exercises to fix leg externally rotated for about 4 months without measurable change.
don't expect an answer; she is not a doctor
@@lindalai9092 she's a doctor of physical therapy. And, my question is related to physical therapy, not a medical type question which I can ask my general practitioner.
In a lot of your videos you have the affected hand strapped to a bar,etc. so then you can’t keep hand and wrist in extended position. How do you work on hand to release object the? I can put my hands around simple things, just can’t let go.
Thanks… you do office visit?
Hello looking for the dowel rod she uses
What is the yellow band around the elbows
Why every vid is mentioned like thousands times spasticity?
Do youbhave video about hand tremors after stroke?
Dr. Could you please tell me how to fix the ankle foot drop ?
🙏🏽
I am PT from india hyd i have patient with flex synergy pattern on rt and she has polio on lt side how can I encourage exercises isolating abduction mam can plz help me
im 4years post stroke my arm not recovery
This is the Neuro ifrah approach
Yes, this is the approach I received my early training in. So, you will see it show up in many of my exercise selections.
Thanks doc. Watching here from Philippines, Im 3 mos. Post stroke my arm raises when I walk, my question is can wrist weights help to improve it,?
Thanks for watching! In some cases, that is a helpful strategy. Do not do this if you have a shoulder subluxation. I hope that helps!
@@rehabhqofficial thank you so much doc. You don't know you help a lot of stroke patient here in the Philippines you're the best doc. Hope our Lord bless you more 🙏🙏🙏
Can you link the other video in abnormal movement patterns?
Yes
I found it. Thanks
I found your site while looking for exercises to do with my 12 year old who has a brain avm and light hemiparesis (hopefully it’ll stay that way). While most of your exercises aren’t really for her I’m enjoying listening to you teaching & explaining. I appreciate all the time that you put into your channel.
Don’t forget that a neurological Occupational Therapist is an expert in splinting for stroke patients.
