This video is focusing on walking. It is full of clear explanations and easy to follow demonstrations of simple and short exercises, techniques, helpful ideas and tips that all support the different phases of using and re-using our legs from hip to toes. If you want to help a stroke survivor or you are a stroke survivor who is ready to get back this vital skill, this part is a must.

If as a stroke survivor, you dream about regaining the techniques necessary to effectively get around in public you need this video. It’s an excellent video and important for us stroke survivors to have as a guide.
