My Mission |
-
To make the stroke
patient aware, how you can become a possible slave of your good side
of the body while you attempt to sit, stand & walk & how it creates
an additional barrier for complete recovery of your affected side.
|
-
Your feet are the
foundation on which your tall body is mounted. Get alert if your
affected foot begins to feel rigid, solid, heavy, spastic, and no
longer pliable & begins to turn inwards & drops or slaps while
walking demanding your constant attention. Do not accept the problem
as part & parcel of the stroke. You can certainly avoid it.

-
In the brain everything
is connected to everything else & therefore if your foot gets
spastic it influences your hand from recovering so please do not
look at the arm recovery separate from the leg. Any use, abuse, &
misuse of the leg is certainly going to reflect on your arm.
|
-
Do not misunderstand the
bent elbow, hooking wrist with finger fisting as a sign of good
recovery, it can be a spastic abnormal posture that prevents the arm
from reaching out easily, smoothly, energy effectively &
economically. Splints may not be a good idea for your spastic wrist
& finger, as it can add on to the spasticity by providing constant
passive stretch to the already tight muscles.

What concerns me deeply is the way
stroke is being perceived by people at large. A lot of
people (including many health professionals) consider it as a hopeless condition
& accept the loss of control on movement, balance & posture
as inevitable (although no one declares it openly)....Read
