Stroke Rehabilitation Exercises

This video is produced in order to educate proper rehabilitation exercises for people who have suffered a stroke.

There are annotations throughout the video which should help explain what is going on throughout the exercises.

The annotations are color coordinated. The green notes are directed towards the exercising individual, and the blue notes are directed towards both the trainer and the client.

This video is to explain in detail the exercises discussed in the associated brochure handout for stroke patients in their later rehabilitation phase.

This video is property of the University of British Columbia and the students with which it was created. If you would like to reproduce or distribute this video please contact us first.
Special thanks to all the students in Hkin 471 and Dr Khan.

ex. in 2002:

“The White House Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy states that conventional medicine is not addressing chronic illness and diseases (WHCCAM 2002). The focus has been on interventions and not wellness and health promotions that have been left to the individual. The Commission says the focus should be on physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects of disease prevention, which are not being adequately addressed by orthodox Western Medicine.”

I think where this fails for me is the lack of discussion of breath. With the statistics for Qi-Gong therapy, meditation, and Yoga (specific for stroke patients) having far more significant levels of improvement, why are stroke patients doing this. Moving meditation is much more therapeutic than squats and walking on stairs. Don't get me wrong after my mild heart attack and three days in the hospital I got nothing for rehabilitation. It is better than nothing. However

it doesn't address stress

I don't think if my geriatric patients can do some threadmill walks...hmmmmm, it's not as easy like you're seeing here.

great video. Love the music choices. I am a stroke survivor and these things are possible with a LOT of work. Nice thing about the treadmill in the hospital therapy dept had the ability of starting really slow. I think I started at .03. most home treadmills only slow down to .05 Stair climbing is doable with rails but still not safe without. Thanks for sharing
