Hi Nathan I am Julian from South Africa. I had a stroke 13 years ago and I stumbled upon your channel and am now currently busy doing the hand exercises on my left hand. I can definitely feel the results. I would really like to purchase one of the rehabilitation gloves and am definitely going to invest in myself because I am serious about regaining my left arm motor controls. Thank you very much for your recommendations, it is really helping.

Expecting a reply please 😢 Nathan sir
Thanks for this usefull video. kindly continue posting on videos like this.
Hi sir nathan i will try this one
I got the same exact device at home. I got this device in February of this year. It somewhat helped, but I will confess i haven't been using it everyday the way I should. Looking at your videos proves what I need to do. So from this day forward, I'm gonna use this device at least 3-5 days a week, 3-4 times a day. Akin.
consistency is the key and never giving up
@@SKILLSANDWELLNESS Trust me, I won't. Besides, I certainly got more better movement in my right arm and hand than before. Akin.
Drinking Cacao help me to move my affected arms and nlegs. No sugar please.
@@cyrilpanesa4335 Interesting. I'm definitely gonna try this out. I'll let you know how it turned out for me. Akin.

serious 2014/ I used to be a professional guitarist I wked hard at recovery, but slackened off after I couldn't play, left hand can't make chords especially bar chords, .. btw thank you Sir for your giving. I'm psyching myself to get back at it....
Hi Nathan. Thank you for these videos. I am using your techniques in my daughter's rehab program for more than a year now. Referring to hand and arm. I made videos of my daughter performing perfectly normal movements with her affected arm, hand and fingers while she is sleeping or when she is between sleeping and awake. That tells me that there is nothing wrong with her muscles or even her involuntary control that I believe is initiated by the cerebellum. while awake however, she is only able to move her arm up, close her fingers and now pushing her arm open, not so powerful. Have you ever found situations like I describe here? I am not a trained therapist but has learned and accumulated a lot of valuable neurological info. My daughter had an Ischemic stroke left side. Hemiplegia and speech and language affected. Global Aphasia as well as Apraxia. She can now walk and we use your programs and some I developed myself to normalize her walking. Thanks again. Keep it up. Abie. South Africa.
😮 14:32 😮😮😮😮😮
i wish all patients have good support and assistance for their therapy like you for your daughter..
Nathan thanks for the help iam 6 years in stroke recovery can I be able to improve

I like your idea on robotic hand device.
كم سعره القفاز الاالي
I have the glove, paid $90USD on Amazon.
Hello, here we have to work on the nerve pathway starting from the neck down to the shoulder to the scapula. The scapula is the nerve center next to the leg and you need to release the hips in all directions.
The addition of a 1 kg dumbbell ON HAND will help in the overall process, in fact all the movements must be very delicate and delicate and this is what the nerves like delicate movements
You won't believe it,
I discovered that brushing your teeth and gently shaking your head up will successfully release the neck
I found myself with a kg weight on my hand solving puzzles when standing my body is bent with rotational movements of the hand and rotational movements of the body and thank God.
it works we will emphasize subtle movements it is critical to solveg puzzles for many hours in front of a laptop and the body is bent forward to the computer screen
Serious 2006 and I have the glove already mines is orange .. My injury level is c7 C6 spinal cord injury..
According to my understanding, the entire injured body is one unit. There is no separation. My method is circular movements thousands of times until the tension of the head, neck, arms, legs, back is released, all circular movements thousands of times
I just had a stroke two weeks ago I'm going to do this to help me get back my strength in my arm and hand
Awesommme. Recovery comes with determination and consistency

Nathan, my 26 year old son had brain bleed rt side, believed to be caused by AVM, he's gone through a lot since then including craniplasty which got infected & had to be taken out, i feel infection weakened him more but he is a fighter & wakes up every time. He was just transferred to a rehabilitation facility. He is only able to slightly move his
right hand. This happened on September 30, 2023. I've been watching your videos & massaging
his left hand & arm ( i do rt side also) so I've been able to keep it from getting stiff. What can I do for him now that he is not able to move anything on his own? Please advise 🙏
Hi ! I actually had a stroke due to an avm when I was 26, opposite side though. I’m 37 now I can walk but my fingers still don’t move. I gave up too quick for my arm and fingers. Don’t give up tell him not to give up. I’m starting my journey to get movement back now in my hand and fingers. You can try Botox for the stiffness but you have to be careful because it can weaken the muscles as well. I hope Nathan makes a full recovery,don’t give up.❤❤ thinking of him and your family
Had a stroke inlast November 2022. Now I m walking with the stick alone in nd around the house Plz help with the name of this robotic find nd from where to buy it. As my left arm is still bent .
Nathan what if I cannot open my hand yet because of spasticity due to change 2010 would t b e robotic glove really help.
It will. And passively. Not in one day but consistently everyday.
im in mild stroke last march
practice practice practice - esp cross body work! i still have weakness paresthesia and have to concentrate more since my 6/1013 stroke but doing much better- more of tiring easily, speaking in cursive, easy aspiration and a real inconvenience… but thankful i can do most
things at reduced quantity/quality.
Your morivation is inspiring. Thank you
Please which exercise is good for prevent stroke
Light cardio exercises are great for that. Walking is number one for me. Stationary bike is gentle on joints and swimming too
Serious, I had a stroke sometime in Oct of 21 while was in a 3 month coma, when I woke up I thought I was tied down, I was paralized.
It's 2024 and I have a little more movement but no control of hand and foot, I can't even turn my hand palm up it seems like my arm is stuck just palm down, is this spasticity?
Anybody else with this same problem?
where to purchase the hand machine?

My left hand fingers can't grip well please help me
I have Parkinson's my problem are my legs. No sooner I take my tablets my legs get out of control and they flay from side to side and then cramps set in which are extremely painful. What can I do? Please help.
Currently I have a Patient with rt hemiparesis with flaccid tone. how do I regain the tone in normal position. Its been 25 days under Physiotherapy treatment. There is no improvement at all.
Try facilitation techniques like fast tapping, fast brushing or icing. And then passive movements with verbal cues
serious - 2022 i bought two of those both broken right off the bat was very disappointed
How much is the robotic hand device
How do you get your comprehend back though....is that completely lost?😢😢
had a stroke end of oct 2015 but my problem is right hand tremor. it is very serious. i am 90 yo. do you have any information on tremors? i have tried other things but they are mainly fot parkinson patients and don't help tremors due to stroke.
Try it. I will use the same exercises for parkinsons. And it could also be from weakness. Practice the opening of the hand more than the closing
