Love it! I was in the hospital for 4 months last year and have been unable to walk since. Not getting anywhere with my insurance recommended therapists nor did I with a month in a local physical rehabilitation hospital so I am seeking my own alternate methods. Best of luck to you all.✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I'm sorry you had to go through that after my mom recovers I wanna go become a physical therapist to help people like you and my mom and other people who have lost their fate. N because the therapist gave up on my mom so I've been doing everything on my own

Can u walk now
Please give us an update
I’m having some health issues with my joints, but we had a family trip planned for New York City. This czcams.com/users/postUgkxuxJwamLFanm476LC5WPeTouyyU1GXomC was perfect! It’s lightweight enough that my friend could carry it up or down stairs when we needed to. (I can walk very short distances) It was comfortable for me to sit in, I would say if you’re super tall it might be a little cramped. I’m 5’1” and the foot rests were the perfect height. This may not be the best one for long term use, you get what you pay for, but for something that fits our budget that gives me accessibility while we deal with my health this was amazing.
I'm so happy that I found this video! I found out a few minutes ago that I have osteoporosis and I love the chair leg exercises seeing as though I am paralyzed. So thank you so much for posting this. I'm looking forward to doing these exercises every day from now on.
Update please
I love this. Thank you for remembering us. I suffer from Cauda Equina Syndrome beginning at age 65 from a fall in the bathroom. Please pray for me. I love you two wonderful gentlemen.
Healing soon. Prayers ur way
THANK YOU!!!! For helping us seniors who need exercise but have very limited mobility. PLEASE----MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this. I hope you post more for people in wheelchairs or who have very limited mobility.
Yes, this video has given me a way to improve my leg strength by actual PT trained people, thank you so very much for the help.
Thank you. You always have the exercises i need! You are so thorough and cover so many topics. You are also so easy to understand and are friendly and not intimidating!
these exercises for patients in w/c is excellent!!!!!!!! i am loving this w/c series!
Thankyou so very much Dear Bob and Brad. GOD Bless you both. I needed this guidance and help. I am deeply grateful to you both. Thankyou so much for all you do.
I like this this is good work because I'm in a wheelchair and no one else has made me feel like I can do this
Wonderful exercises, can't wait to try them!
If you’ve ever needed a wheelchair for mobility, you know that know one is ever bound by a wheelchair.
Really good! Even if your just a computer guy or stuck in a cubicle staying fit's important.
Thanks so much, this is just what I needed. I have Lymphedema in my legs but I believe I can do these exercises. Again, thank you!
This seems advanced for someone in a wheel chair. (High kicks and weights)Does anybody have any good links for someone who is truly weak but has mobility ?
Yea me but very challenging
You guys are AWESOME!!! Thanks so much
You’re welcome!
I'm in need of this. My MS is just getting work and getting up out of my bed, wheelchair and even toilet (trouble spot there even with the bars). Legs are just going downhill and exercise SHOULD make it better but always just makes more pain. Last time I had physical therapy, my hip/groin area of the leg hurt so much for ages. And my knees, ug. Already a bad left knee, but the right is getting worse with the standing struggle, so it's hard to find good exercises that don't make that worse. The ball thing is one thing that I can do, but not nearly enough. I'm sure it would be easier to stand with two arms, but still waiting for the frozen shoulders to heal and my wrist (broken a year ago) still isn't as strong. Ah, to have ONE ailment and not half a dozen!!
Great video :) My mother had several strokes and it has left her unable to walk, so im going to start practicing some of these in hopes she can walk again :)
Is she walking now?
Any luck?
@@ShadowAl same here she is wheelchair bound in due to covid lack of nurses so its a shortage now
I can do that first one and bring my leg up all the way it's painful at the knees but I have no feeling in my legs or feet. I was a ballerina with the Boston and Maine State ballet and now I'm in a wheelchair. I just did three and my leg is tired. Hahaha!
My mom went into nursing home in March 2018 due to falls at home and after a year and a half nursing home staff has made her stuck to the wheelchair and it’s so hard for her to even stand. I want her to walk again.
Same i want her to start workin a little bit again more importantly i want to hear her speak again
Thank you so much ❤️️.
Any advice on how to strengthen calves when fixed in a sitting position?
Obrigado.
I haven't been able to walk for 6 months. I can do these exercises without weights, so I'll just increase every day. Do you have an out of the chair series? These are a big help.
Can you walk now ?
CM u walk now?
Yeah! Fantastic! I've been trying to find something like this for ages!
Just.... Can you edit it to put the theme tune on...
Do you have a you tube link of what type of exercises wood you suggest for senior people who are paresis (not in wheelchair), with diabetes
I really hope you see this but is there any exercise that a person who is paralysed and can't straighten their legs can do?
I need this answer too :(
How do you strengthen weak legs for backing up to sit in a chair I really struggle doing this now?
I need to get my legs stronger
my dad's vastus medialis on both leg keeps on twitching whenever he forces to move. what could that be? he had a stroke a year ago.
Can't do the second exercise the lifting one. Any suggestions or help ?
Hello Bob&Brad
I need your help with exercise with my condition. I had a stroke and Fractured my hip, is been hard for me with pains and not been able to walk nor doing any movements. I been putting on weight. Any advises for kind of exercise that I can do?
What do you do if the patient has pain in the knees do you just stop. I work with a 95 year old who everytime he does the knee bend exercise he complains of discomfort in his kneecap area
So we stop the exercise but he never gets stronger when we stop.
What is the fastest way for someone to start walking again that's just been bedridden too long they can walk a little bit but they just don't walk because they have pain in the knee when they put too much weight on it otherwise if they didn't have the pain in the knee they could probably walk normal For a woman around 85 84 years old
Great video!!!
Would these also work for people with cerebral palsy to do at home? (I don't feel comfortable going to PT until this pandemic is over, but I'm trying to get away from using my walker and just using a cane)
I have a friend in a nursing home and they put her in a movable chair that is padded, and they have it set so her legs stick out in front. When she originally got into the place it was for rehab after a fall, but due to bruises and a cracked rib, plus tachycardia and shortness of breath, she was unable to do much therapy so medicare terminated it, so now she is in hospice, and she gets virtually no exercise. She walked with a walker before the fall, and could probably have taken more therapy once the bruises and broken rib healed. Are there any exercises to build up her legs so she could maybe get out of the chair and move in and out of the bed and the chair? I am now allowed to see her for about 45 minutes a few times a week, and I would be happy to help her.
Answers please. I hope u get some
Hey my name is Hannah McElroy I am from Clinton Tennessee I am 28 years old I am in a wheelchair I have spineabifida all my life. What are some good exercises for people who can't bend their knees

Thank you!
Hello
We have been watching and working with your vidios and we're wondering if you have in bed small rubber ball leg exercises?
Thank you for your work on here we are using your wheelchair leg lifts and wheel chair operation vidio.
Bob and Mary
Any strengthening exercises for left side paralysis
Love u guys! Ty
thanx Dr
Bob and Brad who are demonstrating in this video are BOTH ABLE BODED , so it DOES'NT REALLY HELP someone in a WHEELCHAIR , what I really need is MANUAL HELP from a PHYSIOTHERAPIST to help me LOSEN my hips especially my RIGHT HIP
What if you have a foot plate?
I have a friend who had a stroke and he was semi-paralyzed on one side but he was walking with a walker and then he fell with the Walker and he broke the bone that goes from the knee to the hip and they put a rod in it and then he only had Medicaid so he didn't get that much physical therapy and then covid came so they were in lockdown so we really never got the physical therapy follow up that he should have gotten after the extreme physical therapy after the surgery so it's been 3 years now and he's still in the wheelchair and he just had physical therapy because he went into the hospital so they have to do short-term physical therapy to meet the requirements of the rehab with Medicare and Medicaid and he's at a plateau meaning he's not going to you know ever get out of the wheelchair and I hate to give up on them I want to know if you can put some kind of exercises on CZcams for situations like this I haven't given up on them that's for sure hom is Advocate his family don't care and I just volunteer my time because he's a good friend but he's in a rehab for 3 years now long-term care.
I watch you guys all the time But my daughter has MS and can't kick or lift her legs how can I help her exercise
Do you have any suggestions of what I can do for my elderly mom who has been bedridden for 2 years .she fell and broke her leg 2 years ago did some therapy but still her legs are stiff and painful to move them .Do you have any suggestions of what may help so she can use her legs again and possible ever walk with a Walker again ?
I just got a knee walker and need help knowing how to transfer from the walker to the toilet and sitting down and getting up from a chair and bed.
Is there a good quadriceps stretch in a seated position?
I cannot do sitting marching.. My legs are not supporting.. Which exercise should I do
Can using a walker make a person in a wheelchairs’ condition worse?
What if you have a spinal injury and have no movement in both your legs
What about arms an stomach ??
What can I do if I have a locked knee please
Om shanti
That one dude sounds exactly like Norm Macdonald
How often should I do these?
isn't the first exercise a leg extension
If my legs are bent @ the knee, can the be straightened out?? Asking for a friend
How many times per day can I do these exercises?
I will fucking walk again goddamnit
I can’t move my legs so… how does this work lol
God bless.
I HATE the term: Wheelchair Bound! I am not Wheelchair Bound. I use a Wheelchair. I am not Wheelchair Bound. I can transfer in and out of my Wheelchair. I can go wherever I please, in my Wheelchair. If you can leave your Wheelchair, in any way, you are not Wheelchair Bound! You just use a Wheelchair. So, please stop saying that!
Thank you
Agreed! I also hate the fact that people who are demonstrating these exercises are able-bodied.
@@ericirion8523 Exactly!
@@ericirion8523 Exactly! They don't have the limited movements, that we have. So, they may be able to perform the movement correct. However, someone that uses a wheelchair, sometimes, cannot.
0:50 Those aren’t kicks. It’s just moving your leg. Those aren’t even leg raises.
He’s disabled...
Based not bound.
A few others things need fixing. Not one of your videos is joyed unlike the others
not helpful for amputees. we need legs BEFORE WE STRENGTHEN THEM
If you're in a wheelchair and can't move them because of paralysis then how do you do them exercises?? Absolute jokers
lol.i tot so
+physicaltherapyvideo hi maybe the wording in the title could have been more specific thats all as some wheelchair users like myself would start watching it and then thought it's not what i was wanting know
TRUE
craig wolstenholme I have Spina Bifida and I can raise my legs though no sensation. There are all sorts of Spina Bifida cases even ones who can walk. This video is really helpful
Not all who use a wheelchair have paralysis..... Obviously there are different exercises for different bodies.
C-4 quad this is useless! Do some REAL therapy for REAL problems.........
THE ANGRY QUAD it was useful for me! Just click away, no need to be rude.
