00:00Four. Let me explain to you why I'm using my good hand because your weaker side is not able to
00:06move
00:07much yet. You can help getting up by pushing on the surface, the firm surface, the firm sitting
00:13surface, right? So again, let's do five more. You have rested a while, right? So again, good hand
00:20on the knee of the stroke leg. Your stroke hand pushes on the surface if you can, right?
00:28Lean forward and one, two, three, four, and five. Try to repeat that exercise multiple times during
00:47the day, but start with three sets of 10, all right? All right, now we are going to do the
00:53standing
00:53weight shift. A while ago, we did the sitting weight shift and that was to retrain the body
01:00of the awareness in space, the body awareness in space. We need to retrain that so that we will be
01:08able to effectively move that stroke effect inside. So what you want to do is to use a walker or
01:15your
01:15cane. And by the way, the right way of using a cane is to hold it with your good side
01:21because if you
01:22hold it with your affected or weaker side, you will walk like a robot. So like this.
01:29So it doesn't look good and it doesn't feel natural. So it is always better when you are
01:37using this with your good side. So going back to the weight shifting, let's put weight on your
01:44weaker side for three seconds, just like when we were sitting down and then back to the good side
01:50for one second. Let's try to do five more. 1, 1, 2, 3, good side. 2, 2, 3, back to
02:01the good side.
02:02Weaker stroke side. 3, 3, 3, and back to the good side. 4, 2, 3, back to the good side.
02:13And one more
02:14time. 5, 2, 3, back to the good side. Again, this is very important so that you are retraining your
02:23brain
02:24to have a good brain and body connection in relationship to the space around you. It also
02:32improves the strength of your weaker side because you are weight shifting. When that leg is not trained
02:41to bear weight, then that will buckle. We don't want that. So again, let's do five more, okay?
02:48So, weaker side for three seconds. 1, 2, 3, good side. 2, 2, 3, back to the good side.
