thank you Andy. i am 57 YO Male from Queensland Australia, stroke happened 2 years ago. I walk without a stick around the house and in the park and i am still doing physiotherapy twice a week with a therapist. I am probably not ready to attempt running because when I step with my left ( affected) leg, I sometimes swing it around and sometimes the toes catch plus my toes are curling under. Botox has not fixed this problem yet. left arm still not working, But thank you for the video and tips. much appreciated.

G'day Yaronki. Thanks for your message. If you are already 2 years in and still having the troubles you describe, it sounds as though it's early to think of running for you. It's great that you are still in contact with a physio. Have you considered electrical muscle stimulation to treat the toe and foot drop ? The gold standard from my point of view is the Ottobock L300 go. The lower leg section costs around £4,500 Sterling, and the thigh section if needed is around the same. For the record I have no affiliation to this company, but have done their training and used their gadgets. Have a look and discuss with your therapist. Cheers from Andy the POM

Thank you for sharing these practical therapy ideas. FYI - I tried to thumbs up this video, but the counter didn't work.

Thanks Debs. I will try to do more like this. Andy suggestions for a subject ? I don't know why the counter is working. Maybe just a clicky thing...

Is it your ambition to run again ? 10 months is a long time, but also in a way its a short time for your arm particularly. Keep going and use my other videos for ideas, as well as other good channels. Can you get face to face treatment too ?

Thanks for your question. I think it would help to say which area of the body has been injected. It also sounds like a good subject for a new video. I might be able to make one this week. I'll have a go.

Hi. It's quite long but I broadcast a live lecture early in the covid lockdown about Botox injections. The lecturer was a very well known consultant physio who was one the first UK physios to get involved in botox injecting. kzitem.infoYTy3HsV2jIo?feature=share is the link. Settle down with a drink and a picnic and enjoy.

Thanks for your question. Recovery can continue for a number of years, and only really stops when people stop trying, run out of ideas or are told to stop ( usually by someone with a gloomy outlook ) Recovery can sometimes only start late on...meaning several months after the stroke. Sometimes the start of recovery in years in. The message just needs to be get going, don't worry too much about which method to use, but do be open to working in different styles of treatment such as Bobath, Brunnstrom, Motor relearning, Peto, Johnstone or Constraint Induced ( CIMT ) as they work a bit differently. Do have a look through the other videos on the channel as there is plenty to look at.

Hi...some people do run again after stroke . Depends on the situation. How well do you walk ? How safe do you feel when you walk. Can you start to jump with two feet and control where your feet land. All the little tests suggested will start to form a picture to predict if running will become possible. Work through some of the exercise videos here for some good ideas. Thanks for contributing
