Video Exercises for Stroke Survivors to Regain Mobility
August 3, 2008 |
If you know anyone who is a stroke survivor or stroke caregiver, you may like to get him/her to view a series of exercises stroke survivors can do to regain mobility. The eight video links at this article, Motor Imagery Therapy, are authentic and real life video sessions taken by Bokjae of his wife.
Rock suffered a severe stroke about 2.5 years ago in 2005. It nearly killed her so it was somewhat a great relief to Bokjae when she managed to pull through with total paralysis. Naturally, Bokjae did all he could to get Rock back to her feet again. He resigned from a high earning, senior management position to be a full-time stroke caregiver. Bokjae’s love and patience coupled with Rock’s perseverance and determination were fundamentally important to her progress. Bokjae said the progress was painfully slow but they had faith that God is merciful. Now, we are all happy that Rock is able to walk again.
The video links are the routine Motor Imaginery and Bilateral Isokinematic Therapy exercises that Rock has to go through every single day since 2005. To be exact, 3 times a day with each exercise lasting an hour at least. These videos were recorded at the University Hospital Stroke Rehab Clinic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with the kind permission of the Chief Physiotherapist, Madam Noorieni.
We hope the video links will be helpful to other stroke caregivers.
