1.28 -> stroke is very common according to the world
stroke organization one in four adults will have a
7.52 -> stroke in their lifetime there are over 13 million
new strokes every year globally fortunately the
14.32 -> majority of people will survive however many
people will remain with some sort of disability
20.48 -> rehabilitation post stroke is very important and
it involves a team of doctors like me physiatrists
26.64 -> and a team of physiotherapists occupational
therapists speech and language pathologists
31.36 -> psychologists and social workers one of the common
consequences of stroke that i see in my pain
36.96 -> clinic is shoulder pain today i will demonstrate
24 exercises that people who had a stroke can do
45.2 -> at home to improve muscle weakness stiffness and
shoulder pain so let's talk about stroke shoulder
53.28 -> today
62.08 -> first let me talk to you about the 10 principles
of exercises for stroke number one movement is the
70.08 -> best thing to boost your recovery your confidence
and your well-being there is no medication device
77.68 -> surgery or cure for stroke exercises to the best
modality that we have to help the brain to recover
84.96 -> from a stroke number two moving also reduces
your risk of having another stroke it reduces the
92.96 -> clogging up of your arteries it lowers your blood
pressure it stabilizes the blood sugars reduces
100.4 -> cholesterol and if you make changes in your diet
exercise will also help you to reduce your weight
107.28 -> number three you must practice some sort of
exercise every day seven days a week for at
114.32 -> least one hour every day to see some benefits for
a stroke there is a window of opportunity within
121.28 -> two years after the stroke that your brain is
reorganizing and making new connections we call
127.28 -> this neuroplasticity it doesn't mean that you
cannot do exercises after two years you can and
134.64 -> you should but the improvements after two years
will be slower and it will take longer for you to
140.88 -> notice the benefits but don't give up there can be
brain reorganization after two years number four
150.4 -> for each exercise you need to do a mental practice
before you start the exercise remember you're not
158.32 -> just exercising the arm or the hinge or the elbow
you're making neuronal connections in your brain
166.16 -> mental exercises mental practices
involves rehearsing the task mentally
172.88 -> in your head do a mental visualization of all
the movements you would do for the next exercise
179.92 -> and after you have seen them in your
mind then you start doing the exercise
186.4 -> number five keep an eye on the
movements that you are doing
190.96 -> when you are doing these movements keep looking at
your affected hinge the images of your arm moving
197.92 -> will help the brain to make those connections your
brain will receive information from your eyes your
204.48 -> joints and your muscles all this will tell the
brain to make a new connection a new synopsis
212.8 -> number six bilateral arm training the same
activity is done with both arms simultaneously
220.8 -> this is important for three reasons first
the good arm will be your physical therapist
227.44 -> and the second thing is that the left brain
communicates with the right brain so if the
233.52 -> good arm is moving there will be a message in your
brain going from side to side telling the affected
239.52 -> side to move it's almost like a mirror therapy
the affected side of the brain will see how
246.48 -> the healthy side of the brain is working and it
will imitate what is happening on the other side
253.36 -> number seven task specific training is better than
just repetitive activity so if you can find some
260.88 -> activity that is meaningful to you and you can do
regularly that is better than just repeating these
266.8 -> movements without a task in mind i'll give
some examples when i show you the exercises
273.68 -> number eight start slow and goals low don't try
to achieve too much when you are starting the
281.04 -> most important thing is that each day you can do a
little bit more than the day before so i recommend
287.36 -> you to keep a notebook and take notes of your
progress how many repetitions you can do today for
293.76 -> exercise number one for example and then maybe you
take notes four repetitions today maybe then your
300.08 -> goal for tomorrow is to do five repetitions of
that exercise and then start increasing gradually
307.6 -> number nine about 80 of individuals with paralysis
of the arm will experience some shoulder pain pain
315.52 -> can be caused by a subluxation rigid muscles
frozen shoulder immobility or repeated trauma
324.08 -> exercises help to reduce pain in the affected arm
shoulder pain is usually caused by a weakness in
330.64 -> the muscles around the shoulder and sometimes
the muscles get rigid we call this a specificity
336.88 -> and it's hard to move keep in mind that these
exercises should not cause pain if you do any
344.24 -> of these exercises and your shoulder hurts it's
a sign from your body that you are overdoing it
351.36 -> and number 10 talk to your physical
therapist or your occupational therapist
356.64 -> or your rehabilitation physician they can
give you some specific advices for your case
362.8 -> each person is different and it depends on the
type of stroke and how much your arm is affected
370.32 -> i'll show you some exercise to improve
range of motion to strengthen the muscles
375.2 -> to stretch the muscles and to relax but
this video is only for educational purposes
381.44 -> it's not intended to give you individual advice
if you need advice please talk to your doctor
386.8 -> and if there is any emergency please
go to the nearest emergency department
392.8 -> here is a list of what you need to do
these exercises a chair a table or a desk
400.64 -> a cane or some sort of a long stick a piece
of fabric if you don't have a good grip to
406.72 -> hold the cane a towel a hard pillow an elastic
binge a carpet or a mat to lie on the ground
416.88 -> if you go to the description of this video below
you will find a summary of dispositions and
422.32 -> exercises that you can download and print to do at
home just find a button down that says show more
431.12 -> i have also included time stamps on this
video so you can scroll up and down and
437.36 -> find the exercises you are looking for in the
timeline this is a range of motion exercise
445.76 -> and one hand is going to help the other
hinge so with the unaffected hinge
452.24 -> you're going to grab the other hinge
and you're going to do movements
460.24 -> the good hinge helping the affected
hinge try to keep your elbows straight
466.96 -> if you can come just to the level of your nose
that's okay and keep going down and up to here
477.76 -> however if you can go above your head without
causing any pain any discomfort keep going
485.68 -> the further you go back is better without
causing any pain or discomfort in your affected
494 -> shoulder ideally you should be able to go
all the way up behind your head and come back
503.6 -> the important thing is that your affected arm will
start working with the good warm arm it's not just
511.92 -> a good arm doing the movement and grabbing your
other arm but both working together see if there
518.72 -> is any movement and try to look at your hinge so
look at your hinge when it's passing in front of
525.28 -> your face keep looking at it remember you are
training your brain to make new connections
535.28 -> and you may do many repetitions of this
exercise until you start getting fatigued
541.92 -> so if this is about four repetitions that's all
you can do that's fine the important thing is that
549.44 -> then tomorrow you may try to increase to five
553.04 -> and then six and seven ideally you should be
doing all this range of motion about 20 times
564.08 -> and you need to repeat this every day seven
days a week so this exercise is very similar
571.28 -> to the previous one but we are going to do
indeed diagonal and so you're going to grab
577.92 -> the same thing both of your hands together
and you're going to go from the right hip
585.92 -> to the left side of your head so diagonally
this is very important both elbows stretch
597.12 -> and you're doing this diagonally your head
should be relaxed on the ground and when your
605.04 -> hinge passes in front of your face make sure
that you look at your hinge you are seeing it
612 -> and feeling it elbows straight and you do
this as many as you can and you get fatigued
621.44 -> ideally 20 and then you do for the other side so
grab your hands together here elbows are straight
629.6 -> and now you're going to do to the other side
633.28 -> and look at the hinge when it passes in front of
your face and go go go go all the way stretching
645.28 -> and doing range of motion of the shoulder so
one hand is helping the other one the good hand
653.2 -> is being the physiotherapist for the badge hinge
for the bad shoulder so keep doing this movement
665.2 -> so there is a modified version of this
exercise if you have an elastic band like this
672.32 -> and if your affected hinge can grab
the elastic bend then you can use this
679.76 -> so both hands here together and what
you're going to do is you're going to keep
685.04 -> one hand close to the hip and the
other one will go in the diagonal
691.68 -> and all the way down and come here to the
diagonal all the way touching the floor there
701.84 -> do for the other side as well so this one keeps
here on the side of your hip and this one goes
709.68 -> all the way and touch the forehead so this is
straight elbow this is strengthening the muscles
719.36 -> but also its range of motion for the
shoulder we are opening the shoulder
724.72 -> opening the axilla which is very important
because people who have stroke they usually
731.36 -> have the muscles pulling the shoulder towards the
trunk so it's important to open the arm like this
742.96 -> if you do have a cane then you can
do some exercises for the shoulder
748.24 -> using the cane so if you have a good grip of
the the hinge here you're going to hold let's
758 -> say that this is the affected hinge and with
this one you're going to grip hold here and
764.24 -> what you're going to do is with the good arm it's
going to help the affected arm to move all the way
775.04 -> up and again if this causes pain you should
not be doing it and you can go from here
785.36 -> and some people can only come to the
level of the nose and come back here
794.72 -> and come back and again do this as many
repetitions and cheer your muscles get fatigued
802.56 -> and in the beginning it's going to be a few
repetitions you'll not be able to do too many
807.68 -> but as you practice this every
day you're going to get stronger
811.92 -> and then each day you can increase the
repetitions and you can do 20 of those
820.48 -> so this exercise is similar to the previous one
823.6 -> but now we are going to do side
to side and what happens is
827.84 -> when the person doesn't have a good grip on the
affected hinge you can use a piece of fabric
835.6 -> to attach the hand this is a scarf that i have
and you can just go around and hold the hinge here
847.52 -> to help the hinge not to escape here from the
grip okay so the exercise is similar to the one
856 -> we did before but now we're going to go
side to side so you see the good hinge
863.28 -> is now pulling the affected hinge and pushing the
affected hinge here so go all the way to the floor
874.64 -> up look at your hinge when it's moving
your eyes should be following your hinge
883.04 -> and you do this movement using the
right arm to guide your affected arm
890.64 -> and again do as many repetitions as you can and
you can use i think this is better you can use
898.56 -> like four or five and then start increasing every
day don't forget the elbow has to be straight
907.12 -> and your eyes should be
following your affected change
915.04 -> so this exercise is for the elbow flexion
and extension it's important that you grab
923.84 -> a towel and you put under your elbow here and the
other important thing is that your shoulder elbow
932 -> and hinge is aligned so don't bring your hand
towards your belly because this is a movement
940.96 -> that people with stroke usually they keep the
hinge the the shoulder closed like this and the
948.88 -> hinge on the belly we need to do the opposite
we need to open the arm so for this exercise so
957.36 -> you put the towel under the arm here and then
you're going to binge and stretch the elbow
969.04 -> and do this as many repetitions you can ideally
doing twenty every day in the affected side
984.16 -> so this is an exercise for weight bearing on
the shoulder very important because weight
990.8 -> bearing on the shoulder will help to strengthen
the muscles of stabilization of the shoulder
998.88 -> so we have a heart pillow under our chest
1002.88 -> and then we're going to it's important
to align the elbow with the shoulder here
1009.68 -> and we're going to do the first stage is very
basic just doing like a catch cow just raising the
1020.48 -> chest up and down you're putting weight on both
shoulders right and left just go down and up
1036.08 -> down up okay and then you can progress when this
becomes easy and you can do 20 repetitions of this
1044.88 -> very easily you progress and the next stage
will be you're going to go side to side so
1052.72 -> you're going to put more weight on
the left and more weight on the right
1058.4 -> more weight on the left more weight on the right
1064.72 -> and do this 20 times on each side
1070.96 -> and you can rest if you get tired and go back so
you feel the weight of your chest going through
1079.76 -> the left shoulder left elbow and when this
becomes easy that you're going side to side
1087.28 -> you will start lifting the left the unaffected arm
and putting more weight on the affected edge side
1100.32 -> so you do this and come back so you see i'm
lifting the good arm of the floor here and putting
1110.32 -> almost all of the weight of my chest on the
affected side and then you do this 20 repetitions
1120.16 -> and when this becomes easy to you you will
going to start lifting completely the good arm
1128.24 -> and putting all of the weight of your chest is
going through the affected arm and then you rest
1139.6 -> then your left
1143.36 -> and rest
1147.44 -> lift rest and do this 20 times
1158.72 -> and don't forget the last exercise when you're
lying down should be the stretching and relaxing
1167.52 -> exercise so the important thing to stretch
the shoulder is again is opening the axilla
1176.16 -> so what we're going to do is we're going
to start going up opening the axilla
1182.96 -> and find a position that is comfortable for you
if you can hold your hands here above your head
1193.36 -> and stay in this position for a couple of
minutes and the important thing here is to relax
1201.92 -> try to relax especially this muscles here the
pecs the pectoralis all the muscles of the axilla
1209.68 -> because when the person has a stroke they have a
tendency there is rigidity pulling the arm to this
1216.32 -> position so we need to do the opposite we need
to open and stay here for a couple of minutes
1223.6 -> relaxing and stretching these muscles
so now this exercises you need a chair
1238.8 -> and um these are very simple exercises again the
good hand is going to help the affected hinge so
1247.2 -> grab them together interlacing your fingers
in your hand and elbows is straight touch one
1256.8 -> knee and you're going to raise your
arms looking at your hand all the way up
1264.96 -> to about the level of your head the
level of your nose and come down
1272.72 -> so go up you don't need to go too high
if you want to go too high higher you can
1280.4 -> but don't forget to your eyes always
following the hinge okay that's very important
1287.6 -> because your eyes are sending information to
the brain that the affected hinge is moving
1295.04 -> and do this 20 repetitions because there is one
thing called neglect when a person has a stroke
1304.56 -> the brain kind of forgets that the that part of
the body exists so you need to tell the brain
1313.92 -> yes look at my hand it's moving so the brain will
wake up and make connections and you can do also
1323.6 -> on the other side so relax it's important to
relax your shoulders and go on the opposite side
1332.16 -> okay so do for both sides so now i'm going
from right knee to the left side of my head
1341.28 -> and you see all the way i'm looking at my hands
it's really important that you look at your hands
1351.84 -> okay while you are in this position you
can also do some exercise for your elbows
1358.32 -> relaxing your shoulders so now we're going grab
both hands hold both hands interlacing the fingers
1367.76 -> and you're going now to binge the
elbows bring the hands close your chest
1374.88 -> and down close to your chest and down so
the good hand is helping the affected hinge
1383.2 -> and look at the affected hinge and tell your
brain you see it's moving so it can move
1390.56 -> there is ability to move wake up you're going
to recover you're going to create some synapses
1398.24 -> in your brain when you're doing those movements
you have to do them every day seven days a week
1405.84 -> so now we're doing some exercises for
a stretching of the muscles around the
1410.56 -> shoulders and again we can use the cane and
if you don't have a good grasp of your hinge
1418.08 -> just wrap a fabric around your hinge and
the handle so keep your elbows straight
1428.24 -> and we're going to stretch the pectoralis
and biceps and do for the other side
1439.44 -> so this the pectoralis is this muscle here and
biceps is just one so you should be feeling
1446.24 -> stretching of the muscles when you do this and the
good hinge is like a guide for the affected hinge
1455.92 -> and you do this so if this is the affected hinge
then i recommend you to do more on this side
1465.12 -> but you can also do on the good side
in here so you see opening the axilla
1472.88 -> some people have difficulty even to wash the
axilla because it's so tight the arm is so rigid
1481.84 -> and it's so close to the chest that the person has
even difficulty to clean and to wash the axilla so
1490.08 -> we are doing this we are doing stretching of
the biceps and biceps and pectoralis muscles
1499.36 -> so the other stretching that is important
is to stretch the trapezius muscles
1504.48 -> trapezoids are just big muscles here and they
usually hurt there is usually myofascial pain
1511.92 -> of the upper trapezius area that can radiate pain
to the shoulder so find a anchor on the side of
1519.28 -> the chair here and you're going to pull slowly
to the other side relax and when you breathe out
1529.6 -> so breathe out one two three four five six
seven eight nine ten you are pulling slowly
1537.68 -> just slightly pulling you don't need to pull too
much take another deep breath one two three four
1545.28 -> five six seven eight nine ten and another deep
breath one two three four five six seven eight
1555.28 -> nine ten it's always good to do with the other
side but if this arm is weak you're not be you
1562.24 -> you won't be able to do this so just do with the
affected side another muscle that usually hurts
1572.4 -> around the shoulder is called levator scapula
it's a muscle around here in the shoulder blades
1579.12 -> so you find an anchor here in the chair and
we are going to pull in the 45 degrees towards
1586.88 -> your opposite knee so just put a good hinge on
the back of your head and take a deep breath
1595.84 -> and when you breathe out you count loud to 10 and
pull slightly down towards the other knee okay one
1605.6 -> two three four five six seven eight nine ten take
another deep breath one two three four five six
1615.92 -> seven eight nine ten and another deep breath
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten
1628.8 -> come back slowly so then you don't get dizzy
1633.52 -> so now for this stretching we need to stretch the
pectoralis muscles here you're going to sit on a
1640.64 -> chair but the back is here because you're going
to grab your hands both of your hands behind
1647.44 -> your body and you're going to pull backwards so
you see i'm stretching the pectoralis muscles
1655.52 -> in front of my chest and i'm pulling both of
my hands backwards here so poop and come back
1667.52 -> and you can do this again pull so you're opening
your chest stretching the pectoralis muscles
1676.24 -> hold and come back and relax this is
important because pectoralis muscles
1684.4 -> are usually very shortened and tight in people
who have a stroke that affects the shoulder
1691.2 -> and come back so for this exercise you need
a desk or a table ideally the height of the
1699.92 -> table should be at your elbow level so then
you're not shrugging your shoulders too much
1706.64 -> and you're comfortably sitting here and
the first exercise we're going to do here
1712 -> on this desk or table is the exercise to
rotate the elbows you're going to grab
1721.2 -> both hands together interlacing the fingers
so the good hand is going to help the
1728.16 -> bad hinge so you're going to do this rotation
movement this is important for the elbows mainly
1740.64 -> okay and do this 20 times for each side if
you get fatigued you can stop and increase the
1753.36 -> repetitions the next day and you
should be doing this every day
1762.08 -> so we cannot forget the rest too
because the wrist can also get rigid so
1769.12 -> when you are in this position here you can
also move the good hinge helping to move the
1776 -> bad one the affected hinge and going in one
direction and the other one so the good hinge
1786 -> should be helping the affected hinge to
open the fingers because they usually
1792.16 -> that's the position that usually the patient will
hold so then the good hinge will open the fingers
1799.6 -> interlacing them and let's do the movement of the
rest so both of the elbows are on the table here
1808.24 -> and you're just moving the wrist to from one
side to the other one and you can also do side
1814.56 -> to side or up and down so this is up and down
this is side to side and make sure that the
1823.04 -> good hinge is always helping the fingers to open
because the tendency is to close and be like this
1836 -> so for this exercise you're going to imagine that
there is a imaginary object that you need to grasp
1844.72 -> so you're going to stretch stretch stretch with
your fingers open and bring the object to you
1854.48 -> so this is the stretching of the arm open
open open and close can do with both hands
1865.44 -> so the good hands can imitate each other so if
you want you can do with both and always looking
1873.52 -> at the affected hinge you need to train your
brain that your affected hinge can move so arm
1883.2 -> goes in front stretch stretch and reach far
open the fingers and when you're bringing
1891.2 -> the imaginary object you close your hinge do
there's many repetitions as you can if you
1897.92 -> get fatigued you stop and then you take notes how
many you could do today and your goal is tomorrow
1905.68 -> to repeat do more repetitions that you could do
today up to the level that you can do 20 of this
1913.28 -> every day so now for this exercise you're going
to put your elbow on the table and you're going to
1923.2 -> go all the way this side of the table and open
ideally with your elbow stretch if you can
1934 -> maintain your elbow straight that's
ideal and the other hinge is on your side
1941.28 -> keep your eyes on your affected hinge so your
brain is learning that this arm is able to move
1952.48 -> right if you can't hold this because
it's too tiring for you to keep the
1958.88 -> elbow straight you can just do this
so you're opening and closing here
1972.96 -> so this exercise now is similar to the previous
one that we ditched but now we are going to do
1978.64 -> with both hands together elbows are straight so
it's important that you interlace the fingers
1985.52 -> so the hand will be opening here
1988.8 -> elbows are straight and we are going to move the
trunk so you see i'm now moving my whole body
1997.68 -> to one side and now to the other side the
previous exercise was just moving the shoulder
2006 -> now i'm moving my whole body and i'm looking
at my hands and on the other side so do this
2017.44 -> as many repetitions you can and you get
fatigued and ideally 20 on each side okay
2028.64 -> so now another movement that we need to do from
the shoulder is to help the shoulder to rotate
2034.88 -> one of the important movements
that a person with stroke
2039.52 -> loses when they have a stroke is the ability to do
external rotation and although they can do this if
2048.4 -> you know this is one of the exercises they could
be doing elbows close to the chest and opening up
2054.64 -> it's hard because sometimes it hurts so the
easiest way of doing this is the good hinge will
2061.84 -> help the affected side so put your elbows on
the table relax the arm ideally with the elbow
2070.88 -> straight but if not possible this is okay so
the good hinge will rotate the shoulder out
2079.52 -> and inside you see my hand moving i'm not doing
anything with my hand i'm just this is doing all
2085.6 -> the movement so there i grab my arm here and
it goes inside and out so this is moving the
2097.36 -> humerus this the ball inside of the socket inside
and outside this is excellent to prevent frozen
2104.32 -> shoulder so out and inside outside and inside
okay do this 20 times for your affected arm okay
2120.88 -> so now the last two exercises here in the chair
and desk is stretching exercise so we're going
2128.56 -> to stretch our rhomboids the muscles on the
back of your thoracic spine and to do this
2136.16 -> both hands together interlacing the fingers
2139.44 -> always looking at your hand and
we're going to go forward forward and
2148.32 -> so you have to feel stretching on the back of
your shoulder and stretch and when you are there
2155.92 -> just stay there relax
2159.92 -> and come back and again you can do
this as many repetitions you can
2168.08 -> go in front you're stretching all the muscles on
the back of your shoulders and when you get here
2175.44 -> make sure you relax and look
at your hinge you are relaxed
2184.08 -> and come back do these many repetitions
2190.4 -> so the last exercise is stretching
of the latissimus of the dorsal here
2198.24 -> and to do this i recommend that you get your
2202.16 -> cane and you hold both hands here if you can't
have a good grasp just wrap a fabric around
2210.72 -> your hand so you hold both here and with the
desk in front of you you're going to put your
2218.8 -> elbows on the desk here and you're going to lower
your head and you have to feel your latissimus
2228.72 -> stretching and opening there you can even rest
your head on the table and try to pull the pain
2240.08 -> behind your head and you're stretching
all the muscles here the latissimus the
2245.44 -> triceps i hope you enjoyed these exercises for
