31.08 -> do for a week arm after a stroke right
33.63 -> so we're going to kind of let you take
35.489 -> over here and did you want to mention
37.05 -> the soccer thing oh yes yay to the one
40.1 -> women's world soccer champions to be us
44.28 -> big will see my time this is um final
48.21 -> championship game will be done right
50.399 -> well no off you the United States versus
52.44 -> Japan yeah what they want so many things
55.17 -> USA yeah this is 2015 if you're watching
57.719 -> this in a couple years
58.829 -> yeah okay alright oh we got Hannah here
64.73 -> okay after stroke everybody wants to
67.92 -> know how to get there are moving and you
70.11 -> want to keep the arm moving as much as
72 -> possible you don't want it to get stiff
73.83 -> so one of the ways is to take a small
76.17 -> ball like this and just put it in your
77.88 -> lap put your weaker arm and this would
79.98 -> be the weaker arm from the stroke on the
82.53 -> ball and then top it off with your good
85.71 -> arm and you're just going to roll it out
88.23 -> and back you could roll down and back
97.61 -> down that gives it a good stretch and
102.36 -> you could even push into it what's nice
104.97 -> about that you could virtually have no
106.5 -> strength in that arm and still do this
108.869 -> exercise right anything you can
110.49 -> eventually let go with this arm and just
112.68 -> push with the weaker Brad is going to
115.41 -> put some tape on Hannah's arm so we know
117.35 -> just so we remember which one of the
119.82 -> employees already worked for yeah that
123.09 -> red change I couldn't find the red tape
125.42 -> break could you give me the big balls oh
128.54 -> we don't hand anything here Pat we
131.459 -> always draw all right the next is move
136.08 -> this is a care physio ball they're for
140.19 -> sale on in all the big-box stores right
143.25 -> here they're everywhere so this is a
145.29 -> great device to use for a lot of
146.76 -> exercises so and again you'll put the
149.1 -> one hand they'll be your hand on top and
151.2 -> then top it off with your good hand and
153.66 -> go forward and then back and do this
157.86 -> five times and then go to the left
167.87 -> and then to your right no pad if there's
172.319 -> someone to like if someone's having a
174.06 -> problem reaching that far forward to
176.129 -> lean forward can they do this up at a
177.629 -> table level so that it's sure they can
180.239 -> stand safely that would be work too you
182.34 -> want to try that real quick
190.7 -> so that we work to on a tabletop now the
193.56 -> progression pad would be that if they
195.84 -> can actually keep the hand on there
197.28 -> without the other one they could
199.319 -> actually start going that way then right
200.849 -> as you should start doing it yeah
202.59 -> without without the assistance of the
204.93 -> other arm and then have a seat and then
209.28 -> some people don't have any balls at home
211.11 -> so we have a exercise that's a tabletop
213.84 -> slide you just take a simple towel put
220.56 -> it on top of the table put the weaker
223.14 -> hand first and then top it off with your
225.18 -> straw or here and then just reach out
227.879 -> slide the towel along the table top and
230.43 -> back and it gives that shoulder a good
233.819 -> stretch because that first stroke a lot
235.769 -> of people get really tight in the
237.269 -> shoulder in the ELMO you want to keep
239.01 -> that arm as straight as possible and
240.87 -> then you can let go here and just put
244.049 -> the right the affected arm and reach out
246.42 -> as far as you can so as soon as possible
248.97 -> you want to move into that right now
251.459 -> where you actually have the arm doing it
253.17 -> itself and keeps the hand nice and flat
255.84 -> and those yep that's them flex your tall
258.75 -> there and then you could go to the left
260.94 -> we don't have a large table well we go
262.77 -> like this here and watch your feet so
266.19 -> get on your wide table and derick
269.9 -> important like you're cleaning the table
272.91 -> top off wax on wax off right now now
279.03 -> this I mean could you get creative if
280.889 -> you happen to have these you can maybe
282.69 -> adjust the height of it make it more
285.84 -> challenging
287.949 -> something you can isolate different
289.759 -> muscles right at home you probably won't
292.699 -> have one of these but yeah very good
298.969 -> good
299.93 -> all right yeah all right and remember
302.9 -> rest we can fix this about anything
305.409 -> except what well we're working on a
308.539 -> Bible we cannot get to that broken heart
310.669 -> yet we're not working on some ways to
312.68 -> mend it some rehab therapy it's probably
