Hi! This is Fabiana.
This video doesn't have an audio file but I wanted to show you how my recovery is going.
Sadly, I've been without a therapist for a while
So I've taken to YouTube for rehabilitation exercises I can do on my own.
As you can see, I can now willingly stretch my elbow without assitance and keep it that way for a while.
I can also rise and lower my arm once it's stretched.
As well as rise it high enough for my hand to reach above my head.
I can also lower it at will, with enough control to match my left arm's speed.
This are all movements that weren't possible for me to do on my own a bit more than 1 year ago.
I can bend my elbow and lift my hand enough to reach my chest
I can almost reach my chin too
Lowering my hand is also a lot more controlled now
As is turning my wrist
which you can see happening without much difficulty now
Actively opening my hand, completely, is still tricky
Hypertonia is still visible, but so is the general flexibility of my joints
and my fingers now stay stretched, or bent, for longer if I want them to
My elbow's and shoulder's strenght has also improved
as has the general muscular control of my arm.
My wrist's flexibility is a lot more natural now
as well as that of my fingers.
Let's take a closer look
at my hand
The active closing is visible now
I have limited control of my fist's strenght
The wrist turns and twists easier and without much stiffness
And stretches aren't painful
My fingers stay stretched a lot longer
and i can actively close them even with no support on my arm
Moving the thumb still requires assistance
but it stretches easier now.
The muscles also have more elasticity now.
At the moment I do mostly passive excersises
and a lot of stretching
Repetitive movements to help with my brain's plasticity and my body's memory.
I have noticed this also helps with muscle strenght
and my arm's stretch range has also expanded
The movement is a lot more controlled
and faster in action.
I'm more aware of what my joints are doing
I can control them better now.
and have a better understanding of how my brain is re-learning
In general, the improvements are visible
but the ideal recovery time after an injury keeps getting shorter
and access to an active therapy method has become a necessity now.
This particular fact,
along with the improvement my brain has proved
it is capable of going through;
are the reasons I think make me a
great candidate for the Hand Of Hope Programme.
