Here’s a summary of the video “Stroke, Core, Planks” by Stroke Buddies / RalphPrestonVideo:
Planks are an effective core exercise with two main positions: full push-up position and forearm position.
Although the push-up position may seem harder, the forearm plank is more challenging for the core.
The physical therapist introduced two plank variations: rocking forward and backward, and rocking side to side.
It's important to be cautious when shifting weight toward the affected side, especially to avoid overloading the arm or causing it to collapse.
