Post Stroke Hand and Finger Exercises (DAY 11: Wrist & finger extension electrical stimulation)

Описание: I'm focusing on post stroke hand exercises for July's video series. There will be 22 exercises to recover hand function for 22 days in July. These are all the exercises I personally did when I was working on my functional stretching and finger exercises that made improvements for me post stroke, and they will for you too if you do them consistently first thing in the morning when you wake up, followed by electrical stimulation. Start with the exercises in the first couple days if you are new to therapy on your own at home and progress as you can but make sure you add in the electrical stimulation settings I share, especially the thumb opposition pad placement when you see that day. This is one of the most important because it brings your hand into a functional “C” position which is what sets us up for success going forward with our hands. I will link to the electrical stimulation machine(affiliate) I use every day, from day 1 to now of my therapy journey. I am telling you what works because I know it works from experience, this is what worked for me to get to where I am in the videos you see me post of my therapy exercises, which I will begin posting on this YouTube channel. I just want your recovery to be easier than mine, start early, by that I mean to start today! With the video you are watching or go back to Day 1 which I will link to in every video’s description

My name is Michelle, I am a 13-year post stroke survivor who fell in love with how exercise made me feel and eventually saw improvements in my stroke affected arm from exercising. I became a certified personal trainer, an exercise therapist and corrective exercise specialist to help others be able to use exercise, improve physically with increased strength, endurance, and range of motion as well as to improve mood and fight depression.
I have a YouTube channel and make videos that not only document my journey and process to see gains in my own recovery but to help other stroke survivors with exercise ideas to see gains in their own recovery. I focus on information related to recovery that will help all survivors see physical improvements and better mental wellbeing
